Born in Wuxi, he graduated from the China Academy of Art’s Affiliated High School before attending the China Academy of Art (CAA), where he received both a BFA and MFA in the CAA’s Oil Painting Department.
Ye’s paintings’ pay attention to the contradictions and conflicts that exist in our reality, highlighting the phenomenon of how digital technology has been a major change in the course of human history. His paintings delve into how interacting with others and communication is now expressed through smart technologies, where the boundaries between physical space and virtual reality become increasingly blurred.
The depiction of disconnection and distance is delayed & expressed in his strong use of brushstrokes, visualising the blurred world in which one lives in, and enhances the sense of conflict between the objects and the environment geng stronger. Ye explores a mind that is an ideal life, which is simultaneously near yet far, and attempts to find balance in a stressful life.
