Yin Jun The Crying Boy, expressive oil painting of pink-skinned figure in green helmet, open-mouthed with flying tears, satirical style.

// The Crying Boy by Yin Jun, painted in 2013, is an expressive oil on canvas that captures a raw moment of exaggerated emotion. The painting features a pink-skinned figure with a contorted face, mouth wide open in a scream or wail, while tears fly in multiple directions. The character wears a green military-style helmet, creating a stark contrast with the vivid pink of his skin. The background includes abstract blocks of color, enhancing the surreal quality of the piece. Yin Jun uses bold colors and exaggerated forms to convey intensity, perhaps commenting on themes of frustration, vulnerability, or suppressed emotion within a regimented or authoritarian context. This work combines elements of satire and emotional release, inviting viewers to explore deeper meanings beneath its visually striking surface.

What is Chinese contemporary art?

Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
