I found this Artist on culturenlifestyle.com

The illustrations really appealed to me. I have been drawn to Surreal illustrations that allow the viewer to decide the narrative for as long as I can remember.
I always feel I struggle to successfully design and compose images that can communicate my thoughts to the viewer.
What I particularly like about Jin Xingye's work and what to explore my practice is this increased level of ambiguity. So that I am not be literal in my illustrations, telling the viewer my opinion, or forcing them to ask one or two specific questions.
I feel that Jin Xingye's illustration's feel very dreamlike and depending on the viewers own opinion could be innocent dream inspired illustrations or could have contemporary, relevant even political messages.
Perhaps ideas around climate change, extinction, modern mans uncertain identity, the absurdism of contemporary mechanized life.
I love how children's book illustrators often inspire reflection and contemplation in simple ways from art that is accessible for people of all ages.
Jin Xingye has very little presence online but that could be due to the fact the Art is based in China but his work has popped up on many different websites since April 2017.
Readin the limited articles about the Artist it seems that he is a Children's book illustration but I have been unable to find any examples of published work by the artist.
