Crys Yin is a New York-based artist whose paintings, drawings, and sculptures explore the balance between softness and structure. She works with intimate observations, often expanding them through repetition to create rhythm and constancy in spaces of inexplicability. Beyond merely depicting specific moments or objects, Yin captures the emotional residue left behind—the traces that linger beyond the visible form. More recently, her practice has shifted from vibrant colors and restless figures to a more muted palette, reflecting themes of absence and change. Yet even in this subdued space, a recognizable longing for lightness remains—an invitation to find humor and tenderness. Deeply committed to community and collectivity, Yin’s work highlights the places we overlap, even if in solitude.
Yin has exhibited at FLAG Art Foundation, the Chinese American Museum, Adam Baumgold Gallery, Fisher Parrish, amongst others. She has also participated in fellowships with the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, A.I.R., ProjectArt, Shandaken Paint School, The Lighthouse Works, ACRE, Ox-Bow and The Lower East Side Printshop. She was most recently a recipient of the NYFA 2024 New Work Grant.
