Yu DeWei is an artist based in London. Since studying BA menswear at Central Saint Martins, he has utilised natural materials and found objects from flea markets to craft garments, accessories, and sculptures. Driven by an intense fear of death, his work centres on the distortion and dissection of the human body, imbuing his pieces with a sense of ‘disharmony.’ He believes this disharmony captivates viewers, provoking introspection and gradually challenging deeply ingrained notions. His art prompts contemplation on finding life’s potential amidst decay and mortality’s inevitability. Using materials like cotton, linen, wool, leather, and metal, his creations capture the ravages of time, alongside salvaged waste and ages objects, each with its own narrative. Through his ongoing creative process, he seeks to confront and alleviate the fear of death, offering solace to others who share this anxiety.
