Artist Statement
Kitty Yu Jing (b. 2001, Singapore) is always curious about the answers to all simple and vast questions of the world. Her interest in painting and sketching started at a very young age. At adolescence, she copied and drew her favorite characters from various graphic novels and illustrations. Thereafter she further expanded her knowledge and skills in art by taking on the Creative Art Club from her primary to secondary education, and is now pursuing a BA(Hons) in Fine Arts in LASALLE College of the Arts. She is fascinated by the countless unanswered or unquestioned occurrences in the world, from historical to the present, and is driven by social, political, environmental issues. She aims to create a platform that reflects and triggers more discussions are explored in her oil paintings and installations, as well as the mixed medium used for her artworks.
