Oil on canvas, 57" x 30"

Coal Miner Series – Generation after Generation depicts two coal miners of two generations in a monumental style.

The ingenuous realism of Yan Sun doesn’t relate to deliberate fanciness and fineness; rather, it upholds the plain beauty of the Nature. This realism manifested itself in the Coal Miner Series, first shown in the senior show as a significant component toward his BFA degree. This early 1980’s series depicted coal miners in various aspects: their hard working environment, their generous and forthright characteristics, as well as their longing for a happy and desirable life.
