About

I’m Yongyi Luo (b. 2000) , an artist based in Hongkong. I received  BA in the Printmaking department of China Academy of  Art in 2023 and then went on to complete an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art (2024).

For me, painting is akin to keeping a diary. By blending figurative forms with abstract atmospherics,  I take pleasure in capturing my observations, thoughts, and current moods through my work in its rawest form. Additionally, I strive to discover the meaning of painting beyond the work itself through the gestures of painting.

The practice-oriented nature of Zen profoundly shapes my work.  The deviations during the painting process and provisionality hold more significance for me than the final representation. At the same time, I like re-entering the same scene at different times. Through repeated experiments, past depravity seems innocent, sins may turn into pastimes, screams become melodies, and sneers have become warmth.

Afflicted with hope, I have always been expecting something new.
