Art Mûr

Text by Amber Berson Jinny Yu’s paintings regularly construct and deconstruct her self-identity as a ‘global nomad’. Having migrated more than once, Yu’s practice is equally informed by her sense of detachment from any one particular place, her outsider perspective and her desire to make a home for herself. In order to find herself and to mark space as her own, Yu’s art has become a form of home building and her subject matter an investigation of the cleaving between movement and stillness.
