Global leading Chinese contemporary art investment consultancy Art Futures Group and Art Futures Gallery jointly present “You Are My Imagination”, solo exhibition of acclaimed contemporary Chinese artist Ren Zhenyu. Following his last exhibition in Hong Kong in 2008, a collection of international iconic portrait works based on the motif of “faith” will ascend the exhibition stage on 20 September 2016 at Art Futures Gallery, ArtOne, Wanchai, where this exhibition will be hosted until 21 October 2016. Ren Zhenyu creations are much sought after the world over for their exceptional lucrative investment potential. Distinct from other renowned artists, with his mastery of palette knives, Ren Zhenyu is passionate about painting iconic portraits. Personalities such as Chairman Mao, Che Guevara, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Lee, and more have become featured stars under his knife. In particular, his political figure paintings often exude a dignified air of gallantry. Ren Zhenyu’s superlative techniques utilize lively color collages in creating works which possess modern chic and exuberant contemporary flair. What may seem like casual color selections are in fact delicate color applications that were painstakingly designed and thoroughly contemplated. The exhibition’s subject matter of “faith” includes different ideological faiths, such as politics, religion, romance, values and life philosophy and so forth. As an artist, Ren Zhenyu uses a unique color language to express his attitude towards “faith”.
