Superfine is a mélange of amateur and professional artists hawking their wares in an environment more akin to an arts and crafts fair than anything resembling Frieze. One artist whose work stands out is Yanjun Cheng: In her haunting four-foot square painting, A Child (2018), a partial head emerges from the darkness to stare through visitors behind mismatched opalescent eyes that fail to return the viewer’s gaze.
