// Crying Series - Swimming by Yin Jun is an oil painting that captures an exaggerated, emotional expression of a child in distress. The child, set against a vibrant blue water background, wears a green inflatable ring and is depicted crying with intense, almost cartoonish agony, with tears flying outward. The artist's use of bold colors and the exaggerated, oversized head emphasize the raw, primal nature of the child’s emotions, creating a sense of humor intertwined with a feeling of vulnerability. This 2012 piece, measuring 120 cm by 100 cm, explores themes of innocence, frustration, and the intensity of childhood emotions, presenting a moment both relatable and amusing.

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.
