// Crying Series - Swimming by Yin Jun is an oil painting that captures an exaggerated, emotional expression of a child in distress. The child, set against a vibrant blue water background, wears a green inflatable ring and is depicted crying with intense, almost cartoonish agony, with tears flying outward. The artist's use of bold colors and the exaggerated, oversized head emphasize the raw, primal nature of the child’s emotions, creating a sense of humor intertwined with a feeling of vulnerability. This 2012 piece, measuring 120 cm by 100 cm, explores themes of innocence, frustration, and the intensity of childhood emotions, presenting a moment both relatable and amusing.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
