BIOGRAPHY

Yichu Shi is a contemporary painter working with abstraction, natural materials, and sensory experience. Raised in close contact with mountains and lakes, her practice is informed by intuitive responses to colour, material, and atmosphere drawn from encounters with nature.

Through material-led painting processes, Shi creates quiet, metaphorical spaces that invite slow perception and self-awareness. Her works explore how subtle material shifts and abstract visual structures can foster deeper, more reflective relationships between viewers and the natural world.
