The drawings of Yin Zhaoyang open the theme of expressing emotion for the sorrow towards youth by the generation born in 1970s. They are genuinely building the image and emotional features of this generation. Regarding the distance of time and the signiicant concept of "Mao", what is fuzzy may be memory for the younger generation artists such as Yin Zhaoyang and what is vivid is still cognition. The image of Mao Zedong, a kind of social and historical heritage, relates to a social phenomenon affording for thought for the diversified uses. Yin Zhaoyang, born in 1970s, is interpreting and describing a splendid image of that era with his own experience. His works are unique among numerous like ones under the theme "Mao" with his unprecedented demeanor. Yin Zhaoyang's works in relation to Mao Zedong always represent an allegory. Even this "Dark Blue", featuring such simple drawing and composition, contrasts the pose and temperament of the figure with colors. The artist has still presented the grand story and solemn thinking of his distinct style. Compared with a majority of other Mao series in red color, the blue background addresses the sharp difference of color and meaning. The self-possessed and enthusiastic implications both echo to the dialog of time and times. This work also reveals the artistic style of the artist: an artwork must be story-telling when carrying only one portrait or one figure. It always implies narrative style whether he adopts expressionism or realism.
