CHRISTIANITY, ZOOLOGY, and painting combine in the work of artist Jin Yong, whose latest exhibition is currently on display in the Renzo Café on Eyre Street.
Yong is a Chinese artist who has been based in Ireland since 2002. In that time he has held 15 solo exhibitions, and a number of group exhibitions. In 2017, he was invited as one of the three ambassadors to promote the Dublin Chinese New Year celebrations at the Irish Icons exhibition in Kildare Village. Last year, he won the Chinese Professional Achievement Award from the Association of Chinese Professionals in Ireland.

As a Christian, Yong views God as the greatest artist, who, in nature, has produced a work of great beauty and colour. Yong looks for inspiration in nature, particularly within the animal kingdom. For more see www.jinyongart.ie
