Chinese Baby 11-05, 2011

// Chinese Baby 11-05 by Yin Kun, created in 2011, is an oil on canvas that offers a surreal, thought-provoking portrayal of conformity and identity. The composition features a group of uniformly dressed, childlike figures with rounded faces and blank, distant expressions, rendered in soft, pale tones. Some figures are in military or official attire, with muted greens and grays dominating the palette. The expressions and body language of the figures suggest a blend of innocence and unsettling detachment, evoking themes of collectivism and social identity within modern Chinese society. Yin Kun’s work often explores the juxtaposition between individuality and conformity, reflecting broader cultural and societal themes through his stylized, almost doll-like figures. Measuring 150 cm by 120 cm, this piece invites the viewer to consider questions of societal influence, identity, and individuality in an ever-uniform world. Show Less
