Scenic abstractions in gradually changing intensity of pastels and earth-tones, RCA’er Yi To paintings are excitingly mysterious. The colours flow on the canvas and illuminate, opening up a spectrum of light and depth. In these breathtaking paintings, she explores the primordiality, the earliest stages of human life, the root of our existence which is an experience every human being shares with each other. In this conversation with the London based artist and where’s the frame, we talk about her technique, what you will find in her studio, and what her practice is about.
