Yü-Ge was born in Bejing, China, grew up in beautiful Bavaria in Germany and moved to London in 2013\. Coming from a family of Chemists, Physicians and Mathematicians, she discovered against all odds, her love for painting at a very young age. By the time she was 3 years old, she sold a watercolour painting to her father for five Deutsche Mark. Admiring European Old Masters such as Da Vinci and Michelangelo, Yü-Ge focused at the beginning on figurative studies of human bodies and mechanical objects. Artist such as Edvard Munch, Frida Kahlo, Francisco Goya and Gottfried Helnwein were deeply influential, but it was the German artist Gerhard Richter, who made the ultimate impact in her understanding of Art. Encountering and being completely mesmerized by one of his large scale abstract compositions when she was 18, this painting opened up her everlasting passion for Abstract Art. Also growing up with traditional Chinese Calligraphy and ink paintings, the colour black as well as the power and gesture of the brush stroke fascinated her ever since. The love for the colour black, the gesture and power of the brush stroke combined with geometry and a mathematical approach, lead her to her current style of work. Working mainly with black electric tape on either canvas or paper, her abstract compositions can be seen as geometrical abstraction of the brushstroke.
