YU HONG'S BIOGRAPHY

Since graduating from the elite Central Institute of Fine Arts in Bejing with a specialty in the Western medium of oil paint, Yu Hong has produced a striking body of paintings that have a personal focus. From her early days as a student to today, her subjects have been herself, her family, friends and fellow artists, and now her child—in other words, the people in her everyday life.
