Chen Yujun's practice centres around the process of exploring the complex cross-cultural phenomenon. Just like the process of drawing a mosaic, Chen uses images of various Asian cultures and Oriental icons together in order to create a parallel world, outside of the reality we are familiar with. He has worked on his "Asia Map" series for over a decade, during this journey the work evolved freely without the constraint of time or a set format. It is the process of assembling the artist's fragmented memories together to construct an entire world of psychological landscape.

In Collaboration with his brother Chen Yufan 陈彧凡 resulted the comprehensive "Mulan River" Project, which was shown (among other locations) at Petah Tikva Museum of Art Israel in 2017. Their childhood left an impressionable mark on the two artists, resulting in a body of work fraught with introspective self-reflection and domesticity.
