Yu Hong

Yu Hong (born 1966) is a prominent Chinese contemporary painter known for her deeply personal and socially engaged canvases that document the everyday lives of Chinese women across generations. Her signature practice involves pairing intimate scenes from her own life and family with imagery drawn from official state media and propaganda, creating a dialogue between private experience and public history. She is considered one of the most significant figures of the '85 New Wave movement and its aftermath, and her work is held in major international collections.
