BIO

Scarlett Yang is a Chinese illustrator and Book Cover Artist based in London. She holds a Master's degree in Illustration from the University of Brighton and undergraduate degrees in Environmental Art Design and Applied Psychology. Her diverse cultural and educational background enables her to seamlessly blend Chinese and Western elements in her artwork. Scarlett uses visual art as a medium to generate conversations with the public, focusing on social topics and human relationships to give a voice to marginalised communities.

Obscurity is central to Scarlett's work. She employs a surrealist style to seek out symbolic elements that reinterpret people's lives and struggles. Her art is characterised by dualities: beauty and ugliness, the bright and dark sides of human nature, the concrete and the abstract, and vibrant colors juxtaposed with dark themes. Scarlett avoids being prescriptive, instead offering viewers multiple entry points into her narratives, which primarily explore identity and feminism.
