LV Yanjun received no formal education as he has a hearing impairment and cannot write. However, with his positive attitude, he persevered and taught himself the art of painting.
This admirable artist is critical of the loss of political discourse in modern Chinese society. The women that LV Yanjun paints strikes the viewer with their flawless appearance of perfect Oriental features and sensual lips. Contained in the images of these women is LV Yanjun's attempt to articulate the desire of the modern Chinese for the superficial and their display of such superficial accumulation.
