毛焰1968年出生于湖南,是中国当代最优秀的肖像画家之一。受其父亲影响,毛焰自幼学画,十几岁时已经掌握了极其娴熟的技法,以至于在考入美院之前就被称为天才。著名批评家栗宪庭曾在《写实主义的探险》一文中将毛焰列为中国新写实主义的代表,称其刻画了“一个个表情正在消失的时代肖像”。灰色调、敏感的造型以及斑驳的笔触,使毛焰的作品无论在自然光下还是展厅灯光下都不会丢失画面的细节和生动性。毛焰探讨的不是“肖像”的意义而是“肖像画”的意义,是借用人物的轮廓和动作来完成线条、颜色、构图的实体化,是在写实主义的框架下探讨深幽微妙的人类精神世界。毛焰的作品曾多次受邀参加国内外的大型展览,其中包括2010年上海民生现代美术馆的开馆展“中国当代艺术三十年历程”;2009年上海美术馆的“意犹未尽:毛焰个展”;2008年巴西圣保罗国家美术馆的“中国:建构与解构”;2008年比利时布鲁塞尔BEIVUE美术馆的“今日中国”;以及2002年法国巴黎皮尔卡丹博物馆的“巴黎:北京”等。

和流行的艳俗艺术不同,毛焰不是将高雅的意象降低为低俗近人的,恰好相反,他把低俗近人的东西加工为高端脱俗的。所画的对象越是堕落艳丽,绘画语言就越是高超精纯,甚至于雅致。按他自己的话说,竟然画出了古意。“色”的现实内容就这么被“空”掉了。因此毛焰的“色”并非是“色”,“色”中有“空”,有空虚、空无,有超越。将其表述为“色即是空”是题中应有之意。
