杨勋1981年出生于重庆，2005毕业于四川美术学院油画系，现生活工作于北京。
杨勋的绘画与传统有千丝万缕的关系，却又理性克制。在他的画中有园林、戏曲人物、假山石、花卉和竹子等等。他的工作看起来像是在试图复活某种传统，特别是在美学上。他的作品带着一丝不属于他这个年龄与时代的气息，被称为“新东方美学”年轻一代的代表。
他的主要个展有：“潋滟玲珑”（北京）、“隐香”（北京）、“春园竹影”（台北）、“微园图致”（上海）“灵光”（北京）、“一粒心火”（台北）、“静·气”（北京）、“游园惊梦”（北京）、“失忆”（北京、新加坡、马来西亚）、“那时 那刻 那光”（韩国首尔）、“惊梦”（北京）。作品曾参加过的重要群展：“旅途”（北京）、“宋 庄 · 搭 子”（北京）、“色谱”（上海）、“第二届南京国际美展—美丽新世界”（南京）、“目光所及——后金融危机时代的新绘画”（北京，重庆，巴黎，香港）、“第六届成都双年展”（成都）、“溪山清远——中国新绘画”（伦敦、旧金山、福冈、巴塞罗那）、“活的中国园林”（布鲁塞尔）等。杨勋的作品在世界各地美术馆进行展览，如旧金山亚洲艺术博物馆、莫斯科当代艺术博物馆、法国尼斯亚洲美术馆、捷克国家美术馆、西班牙圣莫尼卡艺术中心、印度尼西亚国家美术馆、福冈亚洲美术馆、今日美术馆等，并被很多艺术机构和品牌纳入收藏，如何香凝美术馆、成都现代艺术中心、上海美术馆、苏州美术馆、深圳美术馆、余德耀美术馆、乔空间、四方美术馆、BMW中国、Miele德国美诺等。
Yang Xun (b.1981) was born in Chongqing, graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2005. He currently works and lives in Beijing.
Yang Xun’s paintings are inextricably connected with Chinese tradition, yet without losing rationality and restraint. Traditional Chinese landscaping, Chinese opera figures, rockeries, flowers and bamboos in traditional Chinese style are the major elements in his works. His painting appears to be an attempt to revive some certain tradition, especially in an aesthetical perspective. His work, with a touch of peculiarity foreign to his age and time, is considered the representative of New Oriental Aesthetics in the younger generation.
