簡介
Yirui Jia was born in China in 1997, she graduated with a BFA from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania in 2019 and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2022. In the last five years, Jia has presented a series of boisterous, multilayered paintings driven by unplanned cadenza and relentless overpainting, building a highly theatricalized world that is colorful and exuberant, communicating between intuition and lived experience. She understands painting as a process of impulse and detour, commanding recurring characters such as an alien-like skeleton and a heroic one-eyed bride who freely changes into a warrior, an astronaut, or an untamed femme fatale.
