YY Wang, a mixed media artist based in UK and China. She grew up with the influence of Internet culture and subculture after the millennium . Her practice are deeply rooted in Jung's childhood analysis theory in positive psychology and the healing effect of early dreams, combine nostalgia with dreamcore aesthetic to create healing fantasy spaces.
As a cross-cultural artist, YY Wang's works present a delicate balance between personal style and Eastern and Western aesthetics. She is good at using multiple media - from sculpture, painting, video and performance, turning wild ideas into amazing visual feasts. Her works often present a dreamy and blurred quality, as if bringing the audience into a threshold space between reality and fantasy.
YY Wang's work is not only a pursuit of aesthetics but also a deep exploration of the subconscious mind. Her works often take childhood fantasies as the starting point, and through reconstruction, deformation and re-creation, awaken the forgotten feelings deep in the viewer's heart. In her art world, ethereal dreams, abandoned paradises, and deformed memory fragments are given new life, bridging the past and the present, and encouraging people to rediscover and recover past emotional experiences.
