About the Artist


Ying Yefu
(China,b.1985)
BFA in Visual Communication Design, China Academy of Art. Based in Xianyang. Having painted since childhood, he draws inspiration from early memories, with these profound personal experiences permeating his artistic expression. Using delicate brushwork on Xuan paper, he merges rich elements of Chinese culture with contemporary aesthetics to create a series of thought-provoking compositions. Children, young girls, and kung fu masters are placed in fantastical and dramatic settings, seemingly bizarre yet strikingly resonant. His work bridges nostalgia and the surreal, evoking both confusion and empathy in viewers. Exhibitions include Shanghai Contemporary Art Museum and MoCA Shanghai.
