Mood for Love Print

Yannie works primarily in the mediums of drawing and painting. The subject of her artworks concentrates on exploring women's self-identities, as well as human’s psychological activities while facing collective and personal traumas. Drawing inspirations from photographic source materials and films, her work creates surreal settings with the use of playful color palette, conducting discussions on the idea of femininity through different characters with the audiences. Lying between realistic and representational artistic style, Yannie’s paintings capture vibrant figures in a variety of actions that further reflect women’s deeper insecurities and uneasiness through a voyeuristic lens. Subject matters like dreamy delusions and rampant emotions that are difficult to be delineated through words are able to find their ways in visual stories she constructs.
