Yuanjie Chen (b. 1999. Fuzhou) is a multidisciplinary artist from China based in New York City. Yuanjie's works are mainly paintings and installations that explore the definition of warmth and love and share his emotional journey, which transited from a deep discussion of his original family's problems and Chinese culture in his art practice in various materials. The shift comes from his incessant self-introspection. It gives him insight into how symbolism conveys his concept to his audience and the connection between red color and emotion. He finished his BFA Fine Arts program at Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts. He worked in SNAP, a non-profit art organization in Shanghai, from 2021-2022.
