Yuxin Pei (b.1992, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China) is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and concept artist based in New York. Yuxin holds an MFA in Multidisciplinary Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art (2018) and a BA from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts (2015). Currently, she is teaching at Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY).
Employing a diverse array of media - from traditional painting to sculpture, video, conceptual art, and installations, Yuxin’s artwork draws from personal and collective experiences — including daily media, family migrant history, the trauma and taboos surrounding ethnic minority identities — to explore larger relationships between individual and collective history under historical and political contexts. Through her research and studio practice, Yuxin engages with themes of gender, environmental challenges faced by marginalized communities, urban landscape changes, and the resonance of conceptual and materials. Her recent work investigates cyber technology, manipulated information, and power.
As a Concept artist, Yuxin designs characters, environments, and illustrations for game projects. For the concept art portfolio, please check out Yuxin's ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/yuxinpei
