Art is Ping Yin’s life
As a young man in Beijing, he studied with professor Luo Gongliu, a famous artist in China, and graduated from China Central Arts & Crafts College in 1986. Ping was a professional artist working at the China Post Museum for several years.
In 1989 he was honored with the prestigious “Outstanding Prize of Contemporary Young Talents Ink and Wash Painting Exhibition” sponsored by Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China.
In 1992 Ping was the winner of an Honorary Prize at the International Chinese Painting Exhibition. That year he had a major personal exhibition in Beijing.
In 1993, Ping won additional recognition for a major acrylic fresco for the Hilton Hotel in Beijing. This was followed by 2 personal exhibitions in 1998 in New York. Additionally, he joined several group shows internationally including China and the United States. Ping is a member of Salmagundi Club (American artist society since 1871). And a member of American Impressionist Society.
Ping Yin’s paintings have been in collections by the Beijing International Yiyuan Art Museum, and the Tokyo Cunshang Art Museum and was entered in the “International Who’s Who of Intellectuals”.
The theme of struggle, both emotionally and physically, as a basic mode of human existence within one’s society, has inspired Yin Ping’s recent series of paintings. To live is to fight to live. Yin imagines that we come into this world as metaphysical warriors: only through fighting for ourselves and engaging in the struggle do we progress. Yin Ping’s expressive paintings, layered with heavy brushstrokes of saturated color, reflect the fierce plays of power and passion. Yin Ping's painting language is expressionist. He renders his figures with strong, rough brushstrokes, giving emphasis to the ugliness found in a face in the throes of pain and struggle, permeating with a fanaticism at once cold and burning. Yin’s composition draws the viewer up close to witness an uneasy world defined by the brutal nature of survival, and the intensity of being alive and great courage that accompany it.
