Ashmolean Museum Exhibition 'Fang Lijun: Portraits and Porcelains'

Ashmolean Museum is holding a free Exhibition entitled 'Fang Lijun: Portraits and Porcelains' at Gallery 11, Ground floor, Room 15 from Oct 2023 to14 Apr 2024.

This exhibition celebrates more than 100 artworks by the contemporary Chinese artist Fang Lijun, on loan from his studios in Beijing and Jingdezhen and from private collections. It showcases Fang's paintings and drawings, and also ceramics produced in the last five years. Fang Lijun was one of the leading protagonists of the early 1990s Cynical Realist movement, a major art movement in China post-1989. His works captured the disillusionment of his generation and reflected the feeling of helplessness in Chinese society in the early 1990s.
