In the simplicity of a petal, Yulong finds infinite beauty. This body of work comprising water color florals and ceramic pieces, and reflects their ongoing exploration of the quiet elegance inherent in nature. Through restrained, minimalist brushstrokes and delicately formed shapes, Yulong seeks to distill the essence of flowers: fragile yet enduring, simple yet profound.

The works capture the ephemeral quality shared by both flowers and ceramics, emphasizing a subtle balance between strength and vulnerability. Each piece functions as a visual meditation on balance and serenity, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world in its most understated form.

This series was presented as part of a group exhibition themed Blossom Time, where it resonates with broader reflections on growth, transience, and renewal. Within this context, Yulong’s contribution highlights how fragility can embody quiet resilience, and how minimal forms can hold profound emotional and aesthetic depth.

Supported by SMEG, this exhibition presents Yulong’s recent works inspired by David Hockney and his exploration of the bond between humans and dogs.

Through affectionate, playful, and quietly contemplative portrayals, Yulong captures the silent companionship he shares with his dogs. Resting, watching, or idly passing time, they embody the warmth, humor, and emotional presence found in everyday life, revealing the understated beauty of moments shaped by coexistence.

Growing up in a small immigrant industrial town in Northwest China without a local dialect, Yulong developed an acute awareness of how language and culture shape identity. Later experiences studying in Shanghai and the United Kingdom further sharpened this sensitivity, particularly toward the cultural significance of food and dialect as markers of belonging. These experiences became the foundation for a series of personal artistic explorations.

From the perspective of food language and Shanghai culture, the series Food Words of Shanghainese examines the relationship between contemporary popular culture, food, dialect, and identity. The works use food-related puns and wordplay rooted in the Shanghainese dialect as points of entry, translating linguistic nuance into visual and conceptual form.

Shanghainese is notable for its extensive use of loanwords, especially those classified as Yangjingbang, many of which originate from English. In addition, numerous terms have evolved beyond their original meanings to include related or metaphorical concepts, with food nouns forming a particularly prominent category. These linguistic characteristics reveal how language and culture are deeply intertwined, continuously shaping local identity and modes of expression.

Step into an immersive exhibition where dreams and reality gently converge. Through fluid watercolor brushstrokes and an intuitive visual language, Yulong dissolves the boundaries between the tangible and the ethereal. Abstract yet lyrical, the works invite viewers into a space of imagination, uncertainty, and quiet wonder, encouraging an embrace of what cannot be fully defined.

At the core of the exhibition is Yulong’s sensitivity to process and transition. Drawing inspiration from the fleeting moments between watercolor drying on paper and clay solidifying in the kiln, Yulong transforms impermanence into a poetic methodology. In the stillness of countless nights, techniques rooted in early training in Chinese painting resurface, shaping abstract reflections on life, the universe, dreams, and the subconscious.

Over the past two years, Yulong’s practice has expanded into ceramics, introducing a tactile dimension to abstraction. Clay gives physical form to time, memory, and wandering thought, allowing ideas to exist simultaneously as object and metaphor. Throughout the exhibition, the moon appears as a silent witness, an ever-present symbol of observation and rhythm, casting its quiet glow over a body of work that bridges inner worlds and material reality.

Residency project for the Culture Service of the Polish Institution in Beijing. Yulong developed this residency project for the Culture Service of the Polish Institution in Beijing.

Tying the entire series together over time, Yulong created twelve illustrated travel posters, each capturing a different moment of Krakow in mid-December. The result is a dreamy, subjective timeline inspired by a single day she spent exploring the city.

Previously, Yulong had worked with Airbnb to create Krakow-themed posters without having visited in person. This time, returning to the travel poster format allowed her to reimagine the concept through a deeply personal lens, blending memory, observation, and imagination.

Each piece celebrates a quiet corner or fleeting mood, reflecting the experience of inhabiting the city as an artist-in-residence.

I was delighted to participate in the Apple "Celebrating the New Year" Today at Apple event.

During the session, I combined photos with my custom illustration for OtterBox to create unique phone wallpapers. It was a great opportunity to blend traditional festive elements with my digital art, showcasing how design can bring personal and cultural expressions together to celebrate the New Year.

Work with Apple

I was honored to receive an invitation from Apple to participate in the Today at Apple event held at the Apple Store in the IAPM Mall, Shanghai.

The theme was “How Shanghai Celebrates Dragon Boat Festival.” During the event, I led participants in creating digital posters inspired by vintage Shanghai posters. This experience not only deepened my understanding of the festival's cultural atmosphere but also allowed me to express my creativity and explore Shanghai’s cultural memories with others.
