Yu Minjun is one of my favorite Chinese artists. He is best known for oil paintings depicting him in various settings, frozen in laughter. He has also reproduced this signature image in sculpture, watercolor and prints. His piece Execution became the most expensive work ever by a Chinese contemporary artist, when sold in 2007 for £2.9 million pounds. I like his work because he has good structure and imagination.
