Yixiao Du (b. 1995) is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, illustration, and installation.
Yixiao Du’s practice explores alienation, identity, and emotional fragility in contemporary society through visual storytelling. Her work is deeply informed by her experience as a Chinese Mongolian diasporic artist navigating cross-cultural environments. Through a raw and emotionally charged visual language, she examines the complex entanglements of identity, cultural dislocation, and the subtle pressures of sociopolitical systems on the inner self.
Rooted in critical reflection, Du’s work reveals how systemic violence seeps into intimate life and challenges invisible hierarchies that shape identity and voice. Her practice becomes a subtle yet insistent form of resistance—tracing how memory and affect reclaim agency within oppressive structures.
