“Sana Sana (Nothing Lasts Forever)” (acrylic on wood panel, 20 in x 30 in)
Artist Combines Asian-American Roots and Psychedelic Visuals To Create Uniquely Vibrant Paintings
Artist Lauren YS creates art that brings a brightly colored universe to life. The vibrant shades are much more than just alluring visuals; they are also vessels for telling stories about queer identities, social justice, self-discovery, and reclamation. Based in Los Angeles, the work of the Chinese-American creative comes across as both a dreamy portal into a fantasy world and a rally cry for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.
