Veronica Yang is a multidisciplinary artist with practices in oil painting, screen printing, and textile arts, producing figures, landscapes, and recurring patterns. Her artwork is a mirror to her personal and collective heritage, with a keen interest in uncovering and reinterpreting lesser-known narratives of colonial Korea and the Korean diaspora. She is based in Vancouver on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, where she is completing her BFA in Visual Arts and a minor in Curatorial Practices. In essence, her artistic exploration is a study of history, culture, and visual languages that influence the aesthetic discourse of contemporary art.
