Biography
Born in 1988 in Sichuan, China, Yanyan Huang grew up in the United States and now lives and works between Beijing, New York, and California. Deriving influence from diverse cultures and time periods, her work maps out an elaborate array of temporal geographies, identities, and relationships. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in China, Europe and the United States. Huang originally hoped to be a concert pianist – she turned to painting as the closest artform to classical music. Her lyrical abstract canvases, filled with floating washes and hovering translucent forms and marks, echo her immersion in both western abstraction and Chinese calligraphy and xie yi ink painting traditions.
