YIN KUN Chinese honey, 2005

A contemporary Chinese artist, Yin Kun’s paintings provide a comical yet thought-provoking take on the societal and cultural facets of life in China.

Although the use of vibrant colour and cartoon-like subjects add a light, comical air to his work, there are also themes of the underlying sinister events that mark Chinese history – Kun has managed to strike the perfect balance that analyses these injustices, while inviting viewers to find the hope for brighter futures – his unique take on bridging the gap between good and evil, light and dark makes his work accessible and relatable to a wider demographic.
