Introduction to Yu Hong

                                                       YU HONG

       Yu Hong was born in China in 1966. She's a contemporary Chinese artist who draws inspiration in everyday life, finding poetry in day to day moments. Her technical painting skills are very rich, rendering figures full of expression and endearment. Her techniques come from years of experience and practice in the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China. As she grew as an artist, her skills became better and better, gaining immense insight from observing everyday life. Her natural sensitivity to both facial expressions and body postures are what draw people to her art. She usually paints about herself, her life, her friends and family and her young daughter, Liu Wa, occasionally painting strangers living their everyday moments. She doesn't sugarcoat her images with symbolism or sentimentality, she just paints what she sees and she does it in such a good way that it captures the value of individual scenes of everyday life.
