Ren Han (Chinese: 任瀚; pinyin: Rén Hàn; born February 27, 1984 in Tianjin) is a Chinese contemporary artist.
Ren Han was born in 1984 in Tianjin, China. He studied from 2002 to 2006 at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in the department of oil painting. From 2007 to 2011, he lives in France. In 2011, he graduated DNSEP (Diplôme National Supérieur d'Expression Plastique) from Villa Arson Nice. Han Ren is developing a drawing praxis. He works almost solely with lead pencil-a technique whose visual properties he is methodically exploring. So his wall drawings involve huge panoramas wavering between abstract landscape and cartography. His drawings and installations, borrow the labyrinth, the mirror, the virtual landscape to evoke dualities ambivalence or opposition of opposites which are the key fundamental of his artistic research, and we reposition the face of the paradoxes of our conflicting instincts.

When I looked out today
And saw that the sky was gray
I thought about the way
You loved days like this
And driving in to town
It really started coming down
Bringing me back around
To all that I miss
It feels like it's rainin' you
It feels like it's rainin' you
I didn't even run inside
Or worry about staying dry
Besides there nowhere I can hide
These feeling now
Running down my face
Takes me to another place
I can't think of a better way to drown
It feels like it's rainin' you
I can't explain it
But I am baptized anew
It feels like it's rainin' you
If I had my way
It would do this every day
I would never see the sun
Because the closest I get
To holding you again
Is every time that sky opens up
It feels like it's rainin' you
I can't explain it
But I am baptized anew
It feels like it's rainin' you
