Based in Anhui, b. 1997

Yue Cao’s paintings evoke the austere sensibility of black-and-white film, constructing a silent space of tension and reflection. His works oscillate between conflict and equilibrium, reality and illusion, using a restrained visual language to stage an inner psychological drama. The interplay of light and shadow becomes not merely formal, but a profound inquiry into the subconscious and the depths of human nature.
