Rather than fully determining an image in advance, Yang allows unexpected marks, textures, and material reactions to influence the direction of each painting.
Xixi Yang is a contemporary abstract painter based in British Columbia, Canada.
Her recent work reflects an ongoing interest in freedom, uncertainty, and the possibilities that emerge through the act of painting.
Working primarily with egg tempera, oil, and layered material processes, her practice explores the relationship between artistic intention, chance, and material behaviour.
