Yuli (his full name is Yap Yuli) is Malaysian Chinese, and
he was born 1986 in Houston, Texas. Academically, he has a Bachelor of Art,
Majoring in Graphic Design from University of Curtin, Western Australia, and he
also studied at Limkokwing.
From a very young age, Yuli had already shown signs of
artistic talent, producing a picture of a simple orange segment containing both
pip and pulp, drawn, at age five, and a huge duck, thrice larger than his then
tiny self.
Having Asperger’s has certainly not been a hindrance to this
young 27-year old artist. In fact, it gives him a unique sense of creativity,
allowing him to be taken seriously as a professional artist. His ability to
recast classic mythologies with a seamless mix of more contemporary icons is
testament to this.
From 2012 to 2013 Yuli became an understudy to Korean artist
Yang Dong Kyu, and this has helped the young artist to venture into the use of
other media for his art.
Mythologies is Yuli’s second solo exhibition, and is a
showcase of vibrant pen and colored marker works on paper, depicting myths and
legends reimagined, and certain icons of popular culture rendered in full
mythological splendor.
Fifteen of his vibrant colored marker pen works will be
showcased in Mythologies until Christmas.
