About the artwork

In this work, Ren depicts a portrait of Steve Jobs, the world’s leading icon for user-friendly computer technologies. The work can be seen as a tribute to the late Jobs, being completed one year after his death. The title ‘你是我的想象’, translates to ‘you are my imagination’ in English, which shows the artist and community’s admiration for Jobs. Ren’s distinct style of vibrant colours and light impasto technique further glorifies the figure of Steve Jobs, like a celebration for his cause and achievements. This new style introduced by the artist certainly gives people a fresh perspective to the evanescent conventional portraiture, making it especially memorable for people today.



About the artist

Born in Tianjin in 1976, Ren Zhenyu graduated in 1999 from the Oil Painting Department at Tianjin Academy of Fine Art, where he currently works as a lecturer. His talent was recognized and appreciated by renowned galleries and distinguished collectors throughout China, and he achieved fame in Europe through his distinct portrait series of historical and political icons, such as Andy Warhol and Chairman Mao. In his works, Ren plays with a wide spectrum of colours that are juxtaposed to create a unique expressionist interpretation of famous faces and experiments with texture and layering built on to reinforce the portrayal of faces from different perspectives.
