Yun Bai (born 1979 in Beijing) is an American artist and painter who is famous for her work with mixed mediums. As a neo-feminist pop artist, she experiments with porn magazines, ping pong balls, machetes, and traditional fine arts mediums such as oil paint, watercolor, etc. Bai is alternatively known as "YunnyBunny." In her work, she explores themes of identity, social stimulus, fascination with science, feminine comment, sarcasm/mockery, and influence from urban culture. One of her most well-known works is her series of Porn Flowers—a collection of paintings that use pornography magazines to generate unassuming images of flowers. Drawing her inspiration from working in the adult entertainment industry, critics note that the crude nature of pornography and erotic imagery are imperceptible, and the flowers appear innocent and charming. In this series, Bai wishes to express her sentiment that "all women are flowers." In this statement, she expresses that beautiful things can manifest from situations that appear difficult to many.
