“I see my canvases as a metaphor for the human condition: feelings of anxiety, turbulence and unpredictability. I love the gesture of compressing passages in my paintings onto such a flat surface. For me, the act of painting helps relieve my own anxiety, too.” - FANG YUAN

It is in our opinion that the work is in overall good condition. At the upper left edge, a faint hairline crack measuring 3cm is visible only close inspection. At the center of the work, there is a negligible drying crack. There is a minute paint chip on the extreme right edge which does not affect the overall appreciation of the work. Negligible hair strands can be found on the paint surface. When examined under UV light, there are no signs of inpainting.
