My name is Yuhsuan Pai. I am a practicing artist currently studying BA Fine Art at Kingston School of Art. My work explores the genre of abstraction through drawing, painting, and performative gestures, investigating the intersection of line, space, and movement.

Working across multiple disciplines, I examine formal elements such as colour, texture, brushwork, composition, scale, and the dynamics of application. These visual concerns are deeply tied to bodily engagement—where the tangibility of pigment becomes a means of expressing both physical presence and emotional depth. I aim to challenge how varying formats can disrupt lyricism, complicate narrative, and respond to their surroundings, introducing new perceptions, depths, and contexts to my pictorial vocabulary.

There is a certain bravery I feel when working with abstraction. I’ve come to realise that this boldness is not only visual, but also reveals something deeply internal. I’m drawn to the subtle, intuitive decisions within the creative process—knowing when to push, when to hold back, and how to engage with the evolving surface.

My work seeks to capture the present moment and its fleeting nature, tracing gestures that hold expressiveness, energy, and intensity. I strive to create contemplative pictorial spaces—ones that encourage introspection, interpretation, and emotional resonance. Whether the visual elements align or conflict, I allow each piece to find its own voice, becoming a shared space where viewers are free to reflect, wander, and feel.
