Yuchen Jiang

Yuchen is a London-based artist working across painting, ceramics, and printmaking. She holds a BA in Graphic Design from Chelsea College of Arts (2024). While her academic training introduced her to image-making within practical and service-oriented frameworks, she gradually turned toward a more intuitive and self-directed artistic practice. This shift led her to pursue further study at the Royal Drawing School, where she deepened her engagement with perception and materiality.

Her work is grounded in attentiveness to natural processes, bodily awareness, and spontaneous response. Moving fluidly between figuration and abstraction, she explores fragmented narratives and perceptual ambiguities through varied media. Her imagery often emerges from direct observational and emotional experiences, unfolding through processes that privilege responsiveness over control. She approaches image-making as an evolving field rather than a resolved form.

Technically, she favours methods that allow for natural material reactions, reflecting her interest in how thought and perception arise: uncertain, nonlinear, and shaped by the entanglement between body and matter.

She is currently developing projects that explore the emotional, philosophical, and sensory dimensions of human experience—from interpersonal tension to the poetics and rhythms alive in the natural world.

Yuchen is in residence at Can Serrat in November 2025.
