Growing up in Suzhou, China, Austin-based artist Yamin Li never remotely imagined herself pursuing art. In her early 20s, she landed at the University of Texas at Austin to pursue graduate studies in biology. But she soon grew apart from her scientific study of human brains and instead dedicated herself to studying the influence of culture on the human mind through art.
In her painting series “Gnortsma,” Yamin uses visual fragments extracted from her daily life with her young child, showing the world through the eyes of her child. Energetic and animated her paintings combine childlike graffiti, playful shapes, humorous visual language, and bright colors.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through July 14.
