Yin Yong Chun is a contemporary Chinese painter who specializes in still lifes in which he combines a Western realist approach with Asian compositional influences. He portrays objects in meticulous detail, while synchronizing their relationships in space to produce a yin/yang sense of balance and harmony. Chun is also a painter of portraits.
Chun was born in Liaoning Province in northeast China. He studied at the China Artists’ Association from 1979 to 1983 and completed his undergraduate studies in oil painting at Harbin Normal University, in the Heilongjiang Province. From 1989 until 1990 he undertook postgraduate studies at Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, Liaoning, China.
