{"product_id":"84050-sun-yitian","title":"Sun Yitian \/ 孙一钿","description":"The catalog is being published on the occasion of Sun Yitian's third solo exhibition at Esther Schipper in Berlin in May 2025. In recent years, the artist has gained international recognition. She is known for her vibrant acrylic paintings of mass-produced objects, mostly created from her own staged photographs. Brightly painted, inflatable toys or doll heads initially appear hyperrealistic, but upon closer inspection dissolve into painterly abstraction. Sun Yitian thus explores the tension between banality and pathos, consumer culture and individual expressiveness. The volume offers a comprehensive insight into her work and includes numerous illustrations, a conversation between the artist and Udo Kittelmann, and an essay by Chus Martínez.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSun Yitian (*1991 Zhejiang) lives and works in Beijing. She studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and is currently pursuing her doctorate at Tsinghua University. Her works have been exhibited at the Yuz Museum Shanghai, UCCA Edge, and Esther Schipper Berlin, among other venues.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52369251827976,"sku":"9783775761949","price":31.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775761949.jpg?v=1757233023","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/84050-sun-yitian","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
