Living in Paris since 1994, Yin Xin paints her inner vision of China, transcending religious and cultural codes. This marriage of East and West may seem motley, but Yin Xin invites viewers to discover what lies behind the canvas, to perceive the artist’s soul and intention beyond the image. This fusion of Eastern and Western elements sharpens the perception of the work’s artistic value in its own cultural context, offering a new reading of icons from the past tinged with universalism.

In this reinvented museum, the nostalgic and romantic compositions of colonial China, which had adopted the codes of the West, take pride of place. The paintings, executed in the manner of the great masters, with particular attention paid to light as matter, evoke both tenderness and irony. It is up to the viewer to judge the significance of these works.

Yin Xin’s work offers a fresh take on art, fusing the artistic and cultural traditions of two civilisations, stimulating the artist’s fertile imagination and encouraging reflection on the value and interpretation of art in different contexts.
