Yijia Yang (b.1992, China) is a visual artist based in Shanghai. She holds a MFA Degree from Slade School of Fine Art at University College London, and a BA degree from Chelsea College of Arts and Design. Her practice expanded from painting to installation and media works. While addressing serial questions around the boundary of painting, she uses dreams and landscape perception from traveling experience as the inspiration. Her variations in use of materials and brushstrokes seek for a poetic space on the canvas between reality of dreaminess.
