Rimi Yang is a Korean-American artist born and raised in Osaka, Japan, who has lived and worked in California since moving to the United States in 1986. She has exhibited widely across the United States and Canada, with recent exhibitions in Europe including Copenhagen, Stockholm, Dublin, and England.

Yang’s largely figurative paintings incorporate a playful approach to abstraction and reflect an intuitive blending of Eastern and Western art traditions. Her work explores dualities such as past and present, abstraction and representation, and cultural identity, often through a meditative creative process. Using distinctive brushwork and layered imagery, she deconstructs familiar forms to evoke universal themes of memory, innocence, and the search for meaning, while her recent female portraits draw inspiration from Old Master painting as a quiet tribute to art history.
