Our Story is a masterpiece of memory. At the age of eighty-eight, following the death of his partner Meitang, Rao Pingru began to paint. Set during the political upheavals of the 20th century in China , Pingru — who has no previous books to his name — tells a story that is both entirely his own and indeed representative of a whole generation. But his life was anything but ordinary, with a plot that feels inherently novelistic, shaped by the smallest of margins, the closest of calls. The challenge for Pingru was not to turn his life into a novel, but to turn his novelistic story into a life, a life that feels convincing, relatable, lived. If his words describe, his paintings animate, and provide a rich visual backdrop to the narrative. Stylistically, his paintings are naive and cartoon-like, while a palette of diluted yellows and purples are frequently used to colour physical spaces and backgrounds. Every story is true. All these pictures of the past came from my head. Like many of that era, Pingru transitioned to adulthood while at war.
