B. 1966 FIGURE AND GROUND: GYMNASTICS SERIES 238 by 45 in. 604.5 by 114.3 cm. signed H. Yu. and dated 2005 acrylic on silk/satin PROVENANCE Acquired by the present owner directly from the artist LITERATURE Jean-Marc Decrop, Yu Hong, Hong Kong, 2006, pp. 19, 24 and back cover, illustrated in color NOTE Yu Hong's painting of two girls stretching (2005, Lot 110) belongs to her recent series Figure and Ground, which depicts young girls practicing gymnastics. The works seem simple, yet they neatly encapsulate a sophisticated thread of thought the artist has been developing over the years, representing a fresh vision and a new plateau in Yu's oeuvre. Each painting in the series depicts from one to three girls against a blank ground, bent into contorted positions as they practice gymnastics. Yu Hong based the paintings on photographs she took at her daughter's gymnastics class. As the artist has said, the paintings "are all about girls doing artistic gymnastics. People, especially girls, have to change themselves to suit society."υ[i] The images are a simple but highly effective metaphor for the place of young girls in contemporary society. Yu usually paints with acrylic or oil on canvas. In conceiving the Figure and Ground series, she determined to experiment with new materials and tried different kinds of silk, linen, and cotton fabrics before finally settling on a special kind of soft silk satin with the Chinese name of ruan duan. Just as the silk ground forges a link to traditional Chinese painting, so too do the paintings' compositions. Measuring six meters long by just over a meter wide, the paintings' proportions resemble those of Chinese hanging scrolls, the dominant format of traditional paintings. Also like traditional Chinese paintings, Yu Hong has left much of the ground blank. The most interesting and subtle link between Figure and Ground and traditional Chinese art is the employment of a motif with a simple silhouette, repeated in dynamic variants: the girls' contorted forms are like Chinese characters, their expressiveness like the taught energy of Chinese calligraphy.υ[ii] Although the Figure and Ground paintings appear simple and unlabored, that is deceptive. Like masterful calligraphy, the paintings are the product of the artist's long years of artistic practice, through which she has acquired the technical skills and wisdom to translate her perceptions into images. The sophisticated concept and seemingly effortless execution bear witness to Yu Hong's mastery of her vocation. * Excerpted and adapted from Britta Erickson, "Figure and Ground: Yu Hong's Gymnastics Series," in Jean-Marc Decrop and Britta Erickson, Yu Hong (Hong Kong: MAP Book Publishers, 2006), pp. 13-28. υ[i] E-mail from the artist to the author, 12 February 2006. υ[ii] It is relevant that some Chinese characters are based on the human form. Da (large), for example, originated as a pictogram of a person standing with legs wide apart and arms outstretched. We might speculate that the association of human proportions with beauty may have influenced the proportions considered harmonious in Chinese characters.

Influenced by her family, she began school earlier than the rest of her peers and started training as a painter at the Beijing Youth Palace while still a schoolchild at the Central Academy's Middle School for faculty children. She entered the Academy in 1984, just in time to see the heyday of the '85 Art New Wave movement. Under the progressive professor Dong Xiwen, she was encouraged to explore new themes and methods including works by modern Western masters like Van Gogh and Picasso. For her graduation work, unlike many students at the time who ran to exotic minority regions, she stayed in the city and focused her painterly lens on urban life. Yu Hong and her husband Liu Xiaodong (Lot 96) later became known as the leaders of the "New Generation" painters, famed for turning the tenacious veracity of the social realist style taught in the academies to the stuff of un-heroic everyday life. Both Liu and Yu consistently produce oil paintings in neorealist style. Yu in particular has turned to women's stories--those of strangers, her family members, and herself. During the 1990s, Yu's aesthetic grew to emphasize individual experience and the immediate living environments of her subjects. In 2003, Yu started She, a series of about ten paintings of women from various classes in today's China. Ms. Li Suqin, Farmer on the Outskirts of Beijing, among the first canvases in this series, was first shown at the 2004 Shanghai Biennale, Techniques of the Visible. For this series, Yu asked each of her sitters to provide a typical photograph of herself. Li Suqin has provided a digitally manipulated tourist photograph of herself at Beidaihe, a seaside town close to Beijing. Before painting Ms. Li Suqin, Yu collected various views of the woman's living environment, and grew fascinated by the weight-lifting equipment in her home. On juxtaposing the photographs provided by her sitters and her own painterly rendering of these sitters, Yu says, "On the left side, I am a viewer looking at her life; on the right side, it is she who wants to define herself in a social setting." Unlike Liu, who focuses on portraying his characters in fictional settings to create new narratives, Yu remains more faithful to reality, choosing to let the environment and the sitter define the character and tone of each painting.
