Yin Jun
Chinese, b. 1974
Born in Sichuan Province in 1974, Yin Jun received his first art lesson from his older brother. After just four years of painting experience, Yin began showing his work internationally. Many of his works has been exhibited at the 12th Beijing International Art Exposition, Art Amsterdam 2007, and Spoon Art Fair 2012.
​
Yin Jun's works often depict family units and siblings and have been wholeheartedly embraced by international collectors and admirers alike. In his intimate style, Yin Jun dynamically airs the consequences and ensuing emotions associated with our increasingly demanding and materialistic society. The oppressed and weak cry out through mesmerising childish faces, baring to others their dreams, frustrations, and hopes as they unleash
pent-up feelings. At first, onlookers cannot help but smile as they gaze at the comical, even satirical caricatures. Soon, a deeper meaning becomes apparent. Tears leap through the air and
stream from eyes; mouths open wide in phantasms of abundant expressions, potently conveying the painter's unvarnished, invaluable voice.
