LAUREN YS

Lauren YS is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work is influenced by multiple stages of focus, both geographically and in practice. Influenced by dreams, mythology, death, comics, love, sex, psychedelia, animation, and her Asian-American heritage, Lauren YS creates and shares her unique part of the personal universe with her audience. She paints murals in a bold and rebellious manner, creating imaginary worlds full of maverick characters that fight for their noble cause.
This artist is brilliantly tackling topics like sexuality, death, aliens, monsters, and the occult. Her amazing oeuvre spans from large-scale murals to small prints and paintings. She calls the experience of making large-scale art a “spiritual” act because they often provide and make a larger-than-life mirror for marginalized people in landscapes where they may not often be reflected. In today’s art world, Lauren YS’s art is something truly refreshing and eye-catching.
Lauren has completed a residency and solo show at Nychos’ Rabbit Eye Movement studio in Vienna, and has since shown work and live-painted at various international art festivals and institutions. Festivals include Art Basel Miami, Pow!Wow! Hawaii, PangeaSeed SeaWalls (New Zealand), Pow!Wow! Long Beach, Wallskar Festival China. Outdoor and indoor mural locations include the Long Beach Museum of Art and the World Trade Center in New York. They have shown work in galleries nationwide and in International cities including Vienna, New York, London, Tokyo and Melbourne.
