Arty-Fact: LV's paintings articulate the desire of the modern Chinese for the superficial and their display of such accumulation. He further emphasises this by painting women in the full uniform of the Cultural Revolution. LV uses his images to hint at what he believes is a regression in Chinese society. He creates a contrast between China's current material obsession with the more admirable ideals of the Chinese individual of the past.
"I was trying to create a visual effect that can express the tenderness, the grace, the glamour, and the hidden sexuality of these young women wrapped up in army uniforms, which symbolise discipline, depression and maybe sacred duty." - LV Yanjun
