Artist Bio

Ya Luo’s practice encompasses drawing, painting and sculpture. She uses pastel, graphite and other spare materials to capture the physicality of the process of drawing and painting. Her work is derived from lived experiences and her relationship with the body, looking into vulnerability in the world. She emphasises the physicality and tactility of drawing and painting. Each mark and shape embodies distinct feelings and generates a heightened sense of emotional awareness. Her quiet drawings and paintings embrace negative space and the contemporary white-walled gallery context to investigate how pictorial space might expand into the three-dimensional world.

Artwork

Name: Sandwiched No.3

Sandwiched No.3 is a piece from the artist’s Sandwiched series. In this piece, the pencil line drifts between organic forms positioned at the upper and lower edges of the paper. These lines appear to hang in place, evoking a sense of pause, as if caught in the space between before and after.
