About

Born in Shanghai, China, Dorothy Yung left China in 1949 with her family, first to Hong Kong and then later to Brazil. In 1958, she came to the U.S. to study art at Garland College in Massachusetts. Influenced by the Impressionist and Cubist masters, Yung created her own, intensely personal artistic style called ‘Spiritual Dimensionalism’. When viewed closely, her paintings reveal multiple dimensions with a graceful array of spirits that re-tell stories with ancient Chinese poetry, making them more relevant today than perhaps they’ve ever been.
Chinese poetry and American expressionism blend together on her canvas, not as separates or opposites, but as one. Through her paintings, the spirit world dances like whispers from another world, reminding us here on earth that there is more to life than the physical world.

The art of Dorothy Yung has been exhibited at Marlborough Gallery in London, the Hong Kong Cultural Center and currently at the Wuxi Museum, as well as several other exhibits over the years.
