Bridging Worlds with a Brush: A Chinese-American Artist's Journey Through Tradition and Faith
Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 5 p.m.
Saints Tekakwitha and Serra Hall, Humanities Center, Room 200
Yu Chunming is a Chinese-American artist bridging Eastern tradition and Western expression. A former professor at Nanchang University and UCLA visiting scholar, he has held over 40 solo exhibitions worldwide. His works—collected by institutions like Stanford University and the China Art Museum, as well as figures such as Margaret Thatcher—reinterpret Chinese cultural heritage, particularly vernacular architecture, through a luminous contemporary lens. A pioneer in documenting and reimagining traditional forms, he merges historical memory with modern artistry.
