ABOUT
Boyang Yu (1992, Beijing, China) is a Chinese interdisciplinary artist based in New York, whose work ranges from installations, sculptures, drawings, etc. His work often stems from daily observations; working with what he could see is vital to him and part of Yu’s philosophy. He uses organic materials as a metaphor and starting point to communicate between nature, human invention, and human intervention. Expose the tenderness between nature and culture, preservation and conservation into a natural, social, political and mental landscape. The idea of change and the exchange of sources and services within these dualities piques Yu’s interest. His work is provoking to question values-centered within human existence.
