Yu-Ting Chung is a Taiwanese artist based in London. Her practice investigates how painting can generate jing (境): a spatial field that continually emerges through relationships between bodies, materials and elemental forces. Rather than treating space as a fixed container, she explores how perception is reoriented through encounters with atmosphere, movement and the continual formation of space.

Working across painting, installation, murals and artist publications, Chung draws from East Asian spatial thought and the sensibilities of island environments to explore painting as a spatial language. Through suspended cotton and hemp fabric, mineral pigments, ink and natural materials, she preserves traces of brush, splash and material resistance, allowing each work to remain open to transformation. Air, water, gravity, light and time are not subjects to be depicted, but active forces that participate in the making of each work.
