Yu Aijun is a sceptic and adheres to a firm "uselist" in his artistic work. He believes that every creative individual is the visual end of the comprehensive sports landscape of the times. Freedom is subject, and the ego is others. His practice is mainly painting, including painting as tentacles and objects touching a variety of media fields. His work involves "sketch" rethinking, ready-made use, (temporary) installations, images and poetry writing. Over the years, he has been focussing on the problems and conflicts between individuals and groups in many fields in practice, extracting images or images from our era, merging matter and perceptions, physical objects and virtual, so as to carry out political commentary and media imagination. All of this is based on his personal temperament and work logic when he encounters actions, scenes, materials and traditional resources, and hopes to derive his personal sense of language, skills and methods from it.
Yu Aijun was born in Taling, Liaoning Province in 1971. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in 2004. Currently, he lives and works in Shenyang. His special project "They confessed that they cheered but they shouted loudly" was presented at the Art Basel Show in Hong Kong (Insights) in 2018.
