Yang Shao Bin (b. 1963 China) is a contemporary Chinese artist known for his powerful and often unsettling paintings that explore themes of identity, trauma, and social critique. Emerging in the 1990s as part of the Cynical Realism movement, Yang's work is characterized by its intense emotionality and raw depiction of the human condition.

Through his work, Yang confronts the impact of China's rapid modernization on individual and collective identity, making him a significant voice in contemporary Chinese art. (Artist website)
