Winter Studio

Yufei Song captures the crisp winter sunlight flooding her East Village studio, translating direct observation into a structured study of color and light. The composition features ceramic cups that serve as a personal bridge, connecting her past experiences in Jingdezhen, China, to her current workspace in New York. Heavy, structural shadows cut sharply across the canvas, fracturing the table into bold geometric planes that introduce a quiet psychological tension. Through this precise handling of strong light and fractured form, Song anchors the painting in a profound sense of place, deeply examining her connection to the material world.
