Yuanjun aka Erika moves confidently between painting, sculpture, performance, and graphic design. Her work grows out of direct engagement with material, space, and situation, reduced in form, precise in impact. Here she Tell a little story.
With a background in graphic design and fine arts, she combines visual clarity with physical presence in the way of FAC. In Carrara, she has further developed her practice, working intensively with marble, color, and performative elements. Her works address questions of identity, transition, and cultural displacement, without explanation, but with a clear stance. First line she is a Chinese girl.
Within FAC, Erika is a key voice: in conceptual development!
