Yijie Gong

From an early age, Yijie Gong engaged in the practice of traditional Chinese painting, demonstrating a particular affinity for the use of colour. Upon completion of her undergraduate studies in China, she elected to pursue further education in the field of art in Germany. The artist's works reflect her thoughts about human nature and aesthetics. She draws inspiration from the contemplation of landscape, incorporating aspects of Chinese painting techniques to bridge the gap between her cultural heritage and the Western art world. Her contemplative colour field paintings create backdrop-like spatial experiences with a suggestive depth effect, making the colour visually and almost physically tangible.
