Yun Yongye was born in Wenchang City, Hainan Province, China in 1990. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Hubei Academy of Fine Arts in 2012 and currently lives and works in Wuhan.
As a child, he went out to sea on a fishing boat and witnessed a rocket taking off. The dark sea surface at midnight reflected flames that were not natural creations, and under his feet was the damp and salty wooden hull. Reality and illusion impacted him. Since then, he has been interested in imagining the connections between different cultural symbols. As a result, he has been influenced by the ancient religious art of the East and the West, and has also been deeply influenced by contemporary art, pop culture, and animation culture. These complex and intertwined cultural types are integrated into his paintings, creating an alienated landscape. These dreamlike landscapes create a huge visual and psychological contrast with the rigorous and realistic classical style painting techniques he uses.He never tired of reassembling these isolated intentions into the garden described by Borges. Under the extreme realistic painting, alchemy, magic, Pokémon, human bodies, ancient relics, blood, and flowers can all be harmoniously harmonious in the dark night with incomparable realism. He hopes to use the countless situations he creates to occasionally make human beings get lost outside reality, confused between the past and the future, immersed between lust and divinity, and dizzy between religion and technology.
