Yan Xing

Yan Xing is one of the outstanding young artists of his generation and, at 26, the youngest artist shortlisted for the Future Generation Art Prize by Pinchuk Art Centre, Kiev, Ukraine. His first solo exhibition in the UK will be a showcase of his most important works to date.

Despite being an openly gay man living in a country that tends to suppress homosexuality, Yan Xing maintains a personal blog about his life and thoughts; his outspokenness has made him an informal representative for the gay community in China.
