작가 소개

위에 민준(岳敏君, Yue Minjun, 1962~ )은 중화인민공화국의 현대미술작가이다. ‘냉소적 사실주의자(Cynical Realist)’로 대표되며, 장샤오강, 왕광이, 팡리쥔와 함께 중국 현대미술의 2세대 작가 군에 속한다. 배반하는 현실을 비웃고, 폭력적인 현실에 눈감는 자아를 표현한 ‘웃음 시리즈’로 세계적인 주목을 받았으며, 그의 작품 <처형>은 2007년 런던 소더비 경매에서 590만 달러에 팔리면서 중국 현대미술 화가 작품 중 최고가로 낙찰되기도 하였다. 현재 베이징에서 거주, 작업하고 있다.
위에 민준은 1962년 헤이룽장성 다칭에서 태어났다. 군인 가정에서 태어난 그는 어린 시절을 부모님을 따라 베이징에서 보냈으며, 고등학교를 졸업하고 톈진 석유공장에서 일하였다. 1985년 신사조 미술운동이 일어나던 해 허베이 사범대학 회화과에 입학하였고, 이듬 해 `85 신사조 운동에 동참하였다. 1989년 대학을 졸업하고 본격적인 전업화가의 길을 걷기 시작하였다.
자신의 언어를 찾고자 고민한 위에 민준은 과장된 제스처와 색상으로 주변 친구들의 모습을 화폭에 담았다. 세상에 대한 조롱과 비판으로 사회를 향해 냉소를 던지고 있는 그림 속 인물들은 차츰 그 자신으로 대체되었다. 자신을 모델로 한 그림 속 남자는 우스꽝스러운 복장에 요상한 몸짓을 한 채 입을 크게 벌리고 하얀 이를 드러내 보이며 과격하게 웃어댔다. 언뜻 유머러스하게 보이는 이 웃음은 중국의 급격한 변화 속에서 야기된 개인적, 사회적 혼란에 대한 반항과 슬픔, 분노와 체념이 뒤섞여 있었다.
위에 민준의 웃음은 장소를 넓혀 역사 속 혁명과 폭력의 현장에 등장하는가 하면 애니메이션의 주인공으로, 고전회화의 인물로 나타나고, 우주의 창공과 지구의 끝으로 종횡무진 달려갔다. 그리고 그가 등장하는 곳에서는 어김없이 황당하고 터무니없는 각종 상황들이 연출되었다. 사람이면서 동물 흉내를 내고, 남자이면서 여자 분장을 하고, 인간이면서 기계의 부속품 같은 모습을 연기한 그는 그러한 자신의 모습이 너무도 재미있다는 듯 그 커다란 입을 벌려 웃었다.
위에 민준의 과장된 웃음은 배경을 달리하며 수많은 장소에서 반복되어 등장함에 따라 이제 그것을 바라보는 사람들의 시각과 심리를 지배하는 하나의 아이콘으로 자리 잡았다. 모든 이념적 경계와 남녀의 구분, 평화와 폭력의 대치도 그의 웃고 있는 인물상 앞에서는 의미를 잃어버렸다. 마치 애니메이션의 캐릭터처럼 영원히 살아 움직이는 생명력을 부여받은 그의 자화상은 더욱 폭 넓은 대상을 조준하며 웃음의 역설을 보여주었다.
주요 작품에는 《대단결》(1992), 《자유를 이끄는 여신》(1995~96), 《세상보기》(1996), 《기억 1》(2000), 《새》(2003), 《육해공》(2007) 등이 있다.
