ABOUT
XY.YANG
Xinyi Yang
Xinyi Yang (b. 1999) is a Chinese artist living and working in Scotland.
Her paintings explore themes such as dreams, death, identity, and boundaries. She uses figurative and abstract metaphoric symbols to convey critical and thought-provoking narratives. From her asian female perspective, her art often appears intense, melancholic, or ambiguous.
Through years of studying art in both China and the UK, her works reflect a blend of division and fusion, shaped by the contrasting influences of both cultures. This cultural intersection has made her an outsider and observer, using her unique perspective to explore and question the meanings.
