Yehong Mao
Born 1976, China
Lives and works in Los Angeles, USA
Yehong Mao is a Los Angeles based painter whose work bridges intuition, abstraction, and the visionary. Trained in art from childhood, she studied at the Shanghai Academy of Arts and Crafts (1996) and the School of Fine Arts at Shanghai University (2000). Mao’s kaleidoscopic compositions unfold like otherworldly landscapes—improvised, intuitive, and hovering between abstraction and representation. Forms appear to cohere and then dissolve into dream-like gestures, inviting viewers into a meditation on perception, transience, and the act of seeing. Her practice is rooted in joy, clarity, and a deeply felt creative process.
