b. 1995, China
Ming Ying (b.1995) is a Chinese London-based artist, who is known for her vivid and abstract depictions of characters within domestic and public settings. The artist explores the inherent feelings of being far away from home such as vulnerability, homogeneity and cloneliness that creates resonance with viewers and allows them to relate to the artwork. ‘Loneliness and desire not only affect me, a London-based foreign artist, but also have a strong impact on people of different races, cultures, and distinct social classes’- Ming Ying explains. The key themes in the paintings depict the mundane and memorable moments of her characters’ lives which were inspired by films, drama and everyday life.
