Yuchu Gao (b. 1993, China) graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Painting from Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts London, in 2016. She later completed her studies in Sculpture (Prof. Nicole Wermers) at the Academy of Fine Art Munich in 2024. The core of her practice engages with drawing as a form of communication that predates writing, as an exploratory tool for rescaling thematic imagery, and most importantly, as the meeting place of being and becoming. In recent years, she has focused on spatial drawing experiments, where the varied speed and density of her gestures travel off the paper’s edge, encircling the viewers with unconventional fields of thought and tactility. Her first solo show in Germany at Galerie Nir Altman “And poor Mr. Guillotin, who actually wanted to make things better.” will feature new sequences on raw linen, created expressly for the gallery space.
