Yellon Ran Huang  (Huang Ran) 

 --- living and working in the UK. 

​

Yellon graduated from Roehampton University with a 1st class BA degree in 2006. 

In 2011 she gained a scholarship to study a MA in Visual Culture

in Westminster University.

​

She believes that art should be a reflection of reality or a self-portrait of  one’s life,

therefore, she has been attempting to find the visual language that could

express the environment that we live in and exploring the gap between

traditional landscape and the modern cityscape. 

​

​

The latest series ‘the city you and I live in’ was intentionally emphasis

the crowdedness in the city,  in contrast to the traditional paintings

which was heavily emphasis on the emptiness in the countryside.

The simplified and symbolic human figures in the painting are acting as the rushing strangers in the

modernized city streets, reflecting the realism of our busy day-to-day lives. 

Also, it mirrors the black ink dots that often apply in the traditional landscape paintings.

 

In recent years this series cityscape paintings were selected for exhibitions in Royal Academy of Art, 

National Open Exhibition and Society of Women Artists annual open exhibitions, Royal Institute of painters in  Water Colours and Royal water colour society.  The Painting ' The City You and I live in-2A' was awarded 'The Frank Herring Easel Award' in 2019.

 

Her painting is held in collection in Royal Marsden Hospital and also are private collections in China, Singapore, Australia, USA and the UK.
