Signed in Chinese and dated 2013 on lower right; also signed and dated on verso // Chinese Fairytales - Walk by Yin Kun is a 2013 oil painting that presents a surreal, almost unsettling portrayal of Chinese children with exaggerated facial expressions. Their pinkish faces, uniform white attire, and rigid postures create a sense of uniformity, contrasting with the softness in their expressions. A larger, partially visible figure in a green jacket looms behind them, suggesting authority or guidance, evoking themes of conformity and control within society. The stylized, almost doll-like appearance of the figures reflects Yin Kun's commentary on cultural identity, societal expectations, and innocence within a controlled environment. The exaggerated features and dreamlike palette add a touch of surrealism, making this piece both thought-provoking and visually arresting.

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.
