ARTISTS / Kwan Yung Yee
Kwan Yung Yee (b. 1991) was born in Hong Kong and currently resides and works there.
She graduated from the School of Communication of Hong Kong Baptist University, where she was influenced by a professor in the Department of Digital Imaging and started exploring digital painting and working in graphic design. In 2016, she completed her Master of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, focusing on mixed media creation centred around digital painting. Recent exhibitions include "Sanctuary - Kwan Yung Yee Solo Exhibition'' (Hong Kong, Cattle Depot Artist Village, 2023) and “The Labyrinth of Solitude” Group Exhibition (Hong Kong, Seafood Room X Shout Gallery, 2023). Several of her works have been featured in the "Art In CNCBI '' of We-research-Art in the Branch at China Citi bank.
Kwan Yung Yee’s works often originate from digital drawings and are later transferred onto canvas, retaining the sense of digital art. Her style is characterised by distinct lines and blocks of colour. Her creations are inspired by her previous studies on new art movements and Japanese prints, incorporating highly stylized natural elements and employing organic forms and curves, particularly flowers and plants as subjects. Her works are composed of straight and geometric lines, graphical appearances, contrasting spaces, and flat surfaces. Femininity is another important element in Kwan Yung Yee’s art, as her works exude a strong feminine aura, conveying delicate emotions that originate from the heart. Her works reflect her delicate, soft, and sensitive qualities.
