1982年生于中国辽宁省。2007年毕业于鲁迅美术学院油画系。闫珩常用装置和绘画结合的创作方式,藉此与观众沟通,传达他试图表达的信息。长久以来,闫珩对于具象绘画都有着执着的信念;对于社会的变迁、科技的发展、以及因此造成的变化给人类带来的影响有很大的关注;也善于发现朴素、简单的日常情境中蕴藏的无限可能。因而他作品中的图像多为具象人物、事物和外部环境的再次表达,并借助已使用完的家用电器与绘画并列构成的画面,喻示人对事物的过于依赖。此外,闫珩作品具有的连续性 和出色的平衡力,向观众展示出广泛的可能性和大量符号性的情节及情绪。


Born in 1982 in Liaoning Province, China and graduated from the department of oil painting, Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 2007. YAN Heng combines painting with installation to create an artistic form, by which to communicate with the audience and to convey the message he attempts to express. He has been holding a stubborn belief in figurative painting; has always been interested in the change of the society, development of scientific technology and the possibility they can bring to the humanity; as well as specializes in exploring unlimited possibilities in ordinary and simple daily life. Therefore YAN Heng’s works are mostly re-expression of figurative characters, objects and external environment, and to reflect the artist's critical stance on man's excessive reliance on objects that invade the human cognitive domain by juxtaposing those old broken objects and paintings. Yan Heng’s works are also persistent and well-balanced, sharing the characteristics of a wide amplitude of possibility and abundant amount of encoded stories and emotions.
