YANG XUN

As one of the most representative contemporary artists born in the 1980s, Yang Xun's relationship between painting and tradition is inextricably linked but rationally restrained Yang Xun’s paintings are inextricably connected with Chinese tradition, yet without losing rationality and restraint. Traditional Chinese landscaping, Chinese opera figures, rockeries, flowers, and bamboo in traditional Chinese style are the major elements in his works. His painting appears to be an attempt to revive certain traditions, especially from an aesthetical perspective. His work, with a touch of peculiarity foreign to his age and time, is considered the representative of New Oriental Aesthetics in the younger generation.
