Yi To (b. 1995, Hong Kong, China) lives and works in London.
To’s practice explores the pre-narrative state of life formation where the body cannot be located in a specifically gendered, racial, or geographical point. Seeing existence as an embryonic domain rooted within a collective network, she considers the inseparable line between body, transcendence and the sublime. In To’s work, pigment and material, in relation to discolouring and erosion as a history of mark making, serve as cohesive devices that reveal primordiality and the present as a single organism, redefining contemporaneity.
She completed her MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London.
