WU YIN

B. Sichuan, China, 2000

Wu infuses his love for nature and animals into his creation, engaging with a wide range of inspirations such as work of Klimt and cave paintings from prehistoric times. He uses the traditional rendering technique in Chinese paintings to express the shapes of primitive animals and in the meantime apply burning and tissue paper overlay to create a texture that cannot be found in the past.

Having graduated from Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, Wu has developed an expressive brushwork that is rooted in the classical "freehand" style. Furthermore, this brushwork allows him to solidify his imagination of the passage of time on the xuan paper, offering viewers space for their interpretation.

Wu Yin now lives and works in Beijing, China. He received a BA from Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, China in 2022. He has participated in five group exhibitions since 2019.
