Shangkai Kevin Yu is a painter based in New York City. Dimensionality and visual context are critical to Yu who paints his subjects in vivid detail against backgrounds that are flat, opaque, and in some cases, totally empty. He describes the intended illusion this creates on his blog: “The ground is working to isolate each individual figures; the wholeness of the individual figure is put before the illusion of them together in a real space.”
