Yin Changzhi uses his artistic expression to rethink the stereotypes and rules that constitute most people’s perception of painting, or the practice of painting on a traditional rectangular canvas. His pictures are represented by abstract shapes and colors, and although they contain elements from the traditional painting process, they also give a sense of shallow carving that might be found in sculptural works. To achieve this effect, Yin uses different painting materials such as canvas, wood and various colored pigments.But in choosing materials, he also turned his eyes to everyday life. For example, he chooses wood used to make packing boxes and various fabrics commonly found in everyday life. It can be said that he recycled these materials and used them in new creations. In each painting, he combines these materials freely, without making any presets. Therefore, he embraces any accident that occurs naturally as part of the process of building his work. He would just let the experiment happen and get the results he wanted.
The effect is not the same. On closer inspection, paint, plane, and texture seem like random combinations; But from a distance, from the left or the right, the picture takes on a new look from each Angle, like a landscape or the space of an unfamiliar room The composition makes each painting very different. The structure of each painting is more or less what we would imagine of aregular rectangular painting. However, the shape of some works is irregular or even strange. In short, his work creates an unusual and colorful space. In this space, we can let our imagination run wild, because what does the audience see in it, what are these paintings.
Yin Changzhi was born in Dongzhi, Anhui Province in 1984. He graduated from the School of Fine Arts of Anhui Normal University (B.A.) in 2005; and the Department of Oil Painting (M.A.) of the China Academy of Fine Arts in 2009. Currently, he lives and works in Wuhu, Anhui Province.
