Shuai Yang (b.1998 Beijing, China) is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, printmaking, drawing, installation, and performance to investigate humans' bodily and spiritual relationship to the universe. Yang uses her own body as the center and her cognitive and sensorial space as the radius for inspiration, often employing images of her body, grids, geometries, astronomical diagrams, and various malleable materials. Her process echoes the ideas of layering, repetition, and multiplicity, which are influenced by her background in printmaking studies. In summary, Yang’s pursuit of understanding the body through its relation to the cosmic realm and her multi-media experiments often open up possibilities for installations.
Yang has exhibited her work at Lenfest Center For The Arts, New York; Society of Arts and Crafts, Boston; Chambers Fine Arts, New York; Storage Gallery, New York; LATITUDE Gallery, New York; theBlanc, New York; Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Miami; Abigail Ogilvy, Los Angeles; Accent Sisters, Jersey City; Zahav Gallery, Cali, Colombia, and elsewhere. Her work is in the Hudson River Museum, NY collection, and is currently on view in the show “Faces and Figures: Recent Acquisitions. “ Her work has been reviewed by curator Paul Laster and Art Historian Yubai Shi. She is a recipient of the Nars Foundation International Artist Residency, Rockella Artist Program fellowship, Morty Frank Travel Award, Donald C. Kelley Travel Award, and other grants. Yang recently received her MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University School of The Arts and a BFA in printmaking from Massachusetts College of Art.
Yang currently lives and works in New York, NY.
