Chinese Fairytales - Walk

Yin Kun Commentator Golden & Iron Bowl, diptych of pink-faced figure in military attire with silver and golden helmets, satirical style.

// Commentator Golden & Iron Bowl by Yin Kun, painted in 2014, is a diptych that presents two nearly identical portraits featuring a figure with a pink, childlike face wearing military-style attire and medals. The only difference between the two is the color of the helmet—one in metallic silver and the other in golden yellow. The figure’s expression is blank, seemingly devoid of emotion, evoking a sense of satire. The vibrant colors and exaggerated forms lend a surreal quality to the work, allowing Yin Kun to critique authoritarianism, conformity, and the idealization of military symbolism. This piece invites viewers to question the role of identity, authority, and uniformity in modern society.

What is Comic Strip Art?

Comic strip art refers to artwork that utilizes the subject matter and commercial printing techniques found in comic strips. In the 1960s, a group of artists began creating paintings that incorporated Ben-Day dots—commonly used in comics and advertising—to produce highly graphic designs in bright colors, using traditional art media.
