Jin Weihong’s defies a taboo in Chinese paintings: the nude.

Though recognizably male or female, the majority of the figures are deliberately asexual.

Many look away from the viewer and some even lack facial features, detached from all the desires and demands of the living world.

Deprived of their body features and sensitive details, they are a coldly rational projection of two assembled human bodies depending and lingering on each other emotionlessly.
