A year later, me moved to Beijing and began his works which are inspired by a his life experiences of different social levels, through modern people's ig­norance towards certain surreal social phenomena; promulgates the question, key and roots. He is highly attentive towards the contemporary people’s survival experi­ences and true feelings which absorbs the artistic forms and pictures such as pop, absurd realism, kitsch to transmit one kind of direct, incisive message to viewers and collectors. The gorgeous coloured picture serves the purpose to arise hopes and the op­timistic manner of life. Yin Kun’s masterpieces participated in several domestic and international exhibitions. They are wildly collected by collectors worldwide. The contemporary Chinese artist is a wise, sensitive and active young artist; painting is an outlet and a record of his life and emotional sensibility.
