Jialu Yao is a visual artist whose practice explores the quiet interplay between people, objects, and space. She holds an MA in Illustration from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and a BSc in Biological Science from Tsinghua University. Her cross-disciplinary background shapes a practice grounded in attentive observation and curiosity, exploring how subtle shifts in perspective can render the familiar unfamiliar and reveal overlooked ways of seeing. Working primarily in black-and-white lithography, Yao transforms fleeting observations into images that sit between documentation and construction. Across her practice, she is drawn to overlooked details, transient encounters, and the traces left behind—exploring how memories and experiences are remained and reimagined.
