About Me

Hi! My name is Yunny Qu. I am a freelance illustrator from China, based in London. I graduated from UAL, Camberwell College of Arts, in 2019, where I studied illustration for a master's degree.

My inspiration comes from experimental movies, short videos, and dreams. I am passionate about creating surrealistic and whimsical watercolour artworks with imaginary stories behind them. Black is the main colour in my works as it helps to bridge my audience to the deep emotions from their past like old mono-colour photos. I focused on creating my own world where relationships, desires, memories, and death are presented in a mysterious way. It could be like a mirror where the audience could reflect and find connections with themselves.

My works have been shown at the following exhibitions:

Bankside Gallery, 2024.

The Holy Art Fair, 2023.

The Holy Art Gallery, 2023.

London Art Biennale, 2023.

Dorothy Circus Gallery, 2022.
