Chinese painting meets Western abstract expression

As the daughter of Yu Chun-chih, an eminent art critic from Taiwan, Yu Lan-ying was introduced to painting at the age of 7. She received personal tutelage from Huang Chun-pi and other famous artists in Taiwan.

Yu held her first solo exhibition in Taiwan in 1964 upon her college graduation and received a full scholarship to further her studies in the US. She studied under American artist Will Barnet from 1968 to 1971.

Later, her works were on display throughout the US at solo and group exhibitions.
