DEA EAST presents prolific, interdisciplinary artist
Yang Qiu.

Through her distinctive approach to ceramic creation and her exploration of the shapes and surfaces of food, Yang Qiu has established herself as a master of her craft, elevating the humble fruit and vegetable to new heights of artistic expression.

 Informed by her background as a pastry chef and her interest in art, Yang began to explore ceramics as a means of artistic expression, studying fine art at UNSW in 2017, with a focus on painting and ceramics.

During this time, she became particularly intrigued by mould making and slip casting techniques, which allowed her to create objects with striking and unusual forms and to transform vegetables and fruits into functional ceramic tableware.

Using a spray paint gun to apply glazing enhances the effect, and achieves the beautiful gradated colours seen in natural produce.

Yang recently completed a residency in Jingdezhen - a town famous for its ceramics and known as the porcelain capital of China. In this exhibition, she'll showcase some of the works she created there whilst exploring the local vegetables she encountered.

Please join us at DEA EAST to meet this this unique artist and experience her work first hand. Yang will be in attendance at the opening on Wednesday evening, and her work will remain on show over the rest of the week and weekend.
