YIN XIN 尹欣 (CHINA, B. 1959) Office Politics 辦公室政治

YIN XIN (CHINA, B. 1959) Office Politics Signed Dated 2004 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 100cm (unframed) 尹欣 辦公室政治 2004年作 壓克力布面 款式：Yin.04 於畫布右下 - PROVENANCE: English Private Collection, acquired from directly from the artist's studio. 來源： 英國私人收藏，購於藝術家工作室。 - NOTE: Yin Xin, a painter hailing from China's far-western province of Xinxiang, was just seven years old when the Cultural Revolution commenced in his homeland. This tumultuous period left an indelible mark on the young artist, prompting him to reject the constraints of social realism—a style enforced during his time at Art College. While his peers delved into propaganda graphic art, Yin Xin plotted his escape into expressionism, disillusioned by the endless still lives and rigid conventions of his education. He pursued formal education at Xinjiang Normal University of Fine Arts before teaching there for two years. Further studies took him to the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Art, where he honed his craft and developed his distinct style. Noteworthy among his achievements is a commission by Notre Dame de Paris in 2017, which resulted in three of his works— "Madonna and Son," "Portrait of Martyr Chan Chang Pin," and a pair of Chinese couplets—being permanently displayed within the cathedral. Yin Xin is best known for his masterful reinterpretations of Western classical art. He gained widespread recognition for his unique approach of revising iconic Western masterpieces by infusing them with Chinese or Asian characteristics. His works challenge traditional notions of beauty, identity, and cultural ownership, blending Eastern and Western aesthetics in an engaging dialogue. In his series of "Old Master" reinterpretations, Yin transforms famous Western paintings, such as works by Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer, and others, by altering the physical appearance of the subjects, often giving them Asian facial features and clothing. His most famous work is his reinterpretation of da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, where he replaces the familiar Western face with an Asian woman, challenging viewers to reconsider cultural assumptions. Yin’s reinterpretations are not merely playful alterations; they reflect deep philosophical questions about cultural exchange, global history, and the blending of identities. His works invite viewers to contemplate how visual representation shapes and reflects power dynamics, colonial histories, and the negotiation of identity in a globalized world. Yin Xin relocated to Paris in 1994, where he continues to live and work. His time in Paris exposed him to the rich history of European art and deepened his understanding of Western art movements, allowing him to explore and challenge these traditions further. Yin Xin’s works have been exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions across Europe, the United States, and Asia. His exhibitions showcase not only his reinterpretations of Western art but also works that delve into identity, portraiture, and cultural hybridity.

YIN XIN (CHINA, B. 1959) The Farewell Signed Dated 2007 Acrylic on canvas 150cm x 50cm 尹欣 告別 2007年作 壓克力布面 款式：Yin.07 於畫布左下 - PROVENANCE: English Private Collection, acquired from directly from the artist's studio. 來源： 英國私人收藏，購於藝術家工作室。 - NOTE: Yin Xin, a painter hailing from China's far-western province of Xinxiang, was just seven years old when the Cultural Revolution commenced in his homeland. This tumultuous period left an indelible mark on the young artist, prompting him to reject the constraints of social realism—a style enforced during his time at Art College. While his peers delved into propaganda graphic art, Yin Xin plotted his escape into expressionism, disillusioned by the endless still lives and rigid conventions of his education. He pursued formal education at Xinjiang Normal University of Fine Arts before teaching there for two years. Further studies took him to the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Art, where he honed his craft and developed his distinct style. Noteworthy among his achievements is a commission by Notre Dame de Paris in 2017, which resulted in three of his works— "Madonna and Son," "Portrait of Martyr Chan Chang Pin," and a pair of Chinese couplets—being permanently displayed within the cathedral. Yin Xin is best known for his masterful reinterpretations of Western classical art. He gained widespread recognition for his unique approach of revising iconic Western masterpieces by infusing them with Chinese or Asian characteristics. His works challenge traditional notions of beauty, identity, and cultural ownership, blending Eastern and Western aesthetics in an engaging dialogue. In his series of "Old Master" reinterpretations, Yin transforms famous Western paintings, such as works by Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer, and others, by altering the physical appearance of the subjects, often giving them Asian facial features and clothing. His most famous work is his reinterpretation of da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, where he replaces the familiar Western face with an Asian woman, challenging viewers to reconsider cultural assumptions. Yin’s reinterpretations are not merely playful alterations; they reflect deep philosophical questions about cultural exchange, global history, and the blending of identities. His works invite viewers to contemplate how visual representation shapes and reflects power dynamics, colonial histories, and the negotiation of identity in a globalized world. Yin Xin relocated to Paris in 1994, where he continues to live and work. His time in Paris exposed him to the rich history of European art and deepened his understanding of Western art movements, allowing him to explore and challenge these traditions further. Yin Xin’s works have been exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions across Europe, the United States, and Asia. His exhibitions showcase not only his reinterpretations of Western art but also works that delve into identity, portraiture, and cultural hybridity.

YIN XIN 尹欣 (CHINA, B. 1959) 尹欣 肖像四幅

YIN XIN (CHINA, B. 1959) Four Portraits Three of the paintings signed 2012 Acrylic on canvas 47cm x 40cm 尹欣 肖像四幅 2012年作 壓克力布面 款式：Yin 於畫布右下 - PROVENANCE: English Private Collection, acquired from directly from the artist's studio. 來源： 英國私人收藏，購於藝術家工作室。 - NOTE: Yin Xin, a painter hailing from China's far-western province of Xinxiang, was just seven years old when the Cultural Revolution commenced in his homeland. This tumultuous period left an indelible mark on the young artist, prompting him to reject the constraints of social realism—a style enforced during his time at Art College. While his peers delved into propaganda graphic art, Yin Xin plotted his escape into expressionism, disillusioned by the endless still lives and rigid conventions of his education. He pursued formal education at Xinjiang Normal University of Fine Arts before teaching there for two years. Further studies took him to the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Art, where he honed his craft and developed his distinct style. Noteworthy among his achievements is a commission by Notre Dame de Paris in 2017, which resulted in three of his works— "Madonna and Son," "Portrait of Martyr Chan Chang Pin," and a pair of Chinese couplets—being permanently displayed within the cathedral. Yin Xin is best known for his masterful reinterpretations of Western classical art. He gained widespread recognition for his unique approach of revising iconic Western masterpieces by infusing them with Chinese or Asian characteristics. His works challenge traditional notions of beauty, identity, and cultural ownership, blending Eastern and Western aesthetics in an engaging dialogue. In his series of "Old Master" reinterpretations, Yin transforms famous Western paintings, such as works by Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer, and others, by altering the physical appearance of the subjects, often giving them Asian facial features and clothing. His most famous work is his reinterpretation of da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, where he replaces the familiar Western face with an Asian woman, challenging viewers to reconsider cultural assumptions. Yin’s reinterpretations are not merely playful alterations; they reflect deep philosophical questions about cultural exchange, global history, and the blending of identities. His works invite viewers to contemplate how visual representation shapes and reflects power dynamics, colonial histories, and the negotiation of identity in a globalized world. Yin Xin relocated to Paris in 1994, where he continues to live and work.

This tumultuous period left an indelible mark on the young artist, prompting him to reject the constraints of social realism—a style enforced during his time at Art College. While his peers delved into propaganda graphic art, Yin Xin plotted his escape into expressionism, disillusioned by the endless still lives and rigid conventions of his education. He pursued formal education at Xinjiang Normal University of Fine Arts before teaching there for two years. Further studies took him to the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Art, where he honed his craft and developed his distinct style. Continuing to explore his fascination with China and its people, Yin Xin employs a technique he calls 'Chinesifying'—adapting traditional Western images and styles to reflect Chinese culture. He challenges conventions by reimagining iconic Western artworks with Chinese subjects, blurring the boundaries between cultures and eras. Yin Xin's exhibitions, notably his 'Opium' and 'After the Masters' series, have garnered widespread acclaim in Britain and Hong Kong. However, it is his 'Ballerinas' collection that captivates audiences with its serene yet dramatic compositions, offering a unique perspective on male and female dancers on stage. Currently residing in Paris, Yin Xin's art continues to provoke thought and inspire conversation. Noteworthy among his achievements is a commission by Notre Dame de Paris in 2017, which resulted in three of his works— "Madonna and Son," "Portrait of Martyr Chan Chang Pin," and a pair of Chinese couplets—being permanently displayed within the cathedral. His works have also been included in the exhibition 'Botticelli Reimagined' held at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) which ran from the 5 March 2016 to 3 July 2016. It explored the enduring impact of the Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli from the Pre-Raphaelites up to today. LINK: https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/botticelli-reimagined

YIN Xin. Les bains publics (1992) Gravure sur bois, 60 x 60 cm, E. A. 蹁©   俖侺釳敼 Né en 1959 à Kashgar dans le Turkestan chinois, l’enfant a à peine dix ans lorsque la révolution culturelle se propage de 1966 à 1976, interrompant sa scolarité. La famille migre en 1970 vers la frontière de la Mongolie. Le tout jeune homme commence alors la copie des peintures de propagande politique. En 1977, Yin Xin est étudiant au département des Beaux-arts de l’Université normale du Xinjiang. Il entreprend ensuite un cursus à l’Institut des Beaux-arts de Xi’an puis, en 1986, est enseignant à l’Institut des arts du Xinjiang. Il quitte la Chine en 1988 pour aller en Australie étudier à la Faculté des arts de l’Institut royal de technologie de Melbourne. Cette première pérégrination est suivie en 1991 d’un cycle de voyages à travers l’Europe et de réalisations artistiques entre Taiwan, Hong Kong, Pékin et Paris. En 1994, il se fixe à Paris où il travaille depuis lors. Il peint à l’huile, à l’acrylique et s’est même intéressé à l’activité de metteur en scène très récemment.

Depicting the Jews of Kaifeng, Henan Province, China. Yin Xin was born in 1959 in Kashgar, a remote Muslim town in Turkistan, Western China. During the Cultural Revolution his family were exiled to the Mongolian border where an early exposure to different religions and cultures was his first introduction to art. In 1988, Yin Xin left the rigidness of China to study at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and in 1994, he settled in Paris. In his art, Yin Xin paints the many facets of China, using his perspective to capture earlier periods, portraying the Chinese of the era with a mostly muted palette reminiscent of photography.
