In this episode I speak with Yifan Zhang, whose work is a testament to the power of art to navigate and depict the complexities of cultural identity and personal growth. From an early age, Yifan embraced "carefully made mistakes" as a conduit for creative exploration, leading to the development of a significant body of work titled "Fault Art." His series captures conflicts across time and space, highlighting the clashes between Eastern and Western cultures, while inviting viewers to find their narratives within these vibrant canvases. Yifan's art, characterized by a return to the essence of conflict experienced in childhood, serves as a bridge for introspection and cultural understanding, demonstrating the transformative power of painting to tell stories beyond the confines of language. The conversation is with a translator as Yifan spoke Chinese during our chat. You can connect with Yifan at https://www.instagram.com/dy_yifanzhang/ and through his website https://yifanzhang.fans/
