(4.11 - 109 votes)About Rimi:
California based artist Rimi Yang’s increasingly sophisticated paintings imbue traditional Asian imagery with a contemporary spin. Intensely emotional, vibrant and often whimsical, Yang’s work shows a technical mastery that can only be achieved through an ardent dedication to the act of painting. For Yang, this act is highly intuitive, and often a celebration of the uncertainties of life.
In addition to her training at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, Rimi Yang has studied at Otis College of Art and Design, and spent a summer in Florence, Italy, studying at the Florence Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited on both coasts, most notably in New York and Los Angeles, and she has been featured numerous times in the Kyoto Journal.

Don’t care for the simplicity of composition. Cannot abide the splotchy/drippy paint thing – just looks sloppy.
That being said, I still find these paintings oddly compelling to look at.

These are lovely paintings. I love the combination of pastels and strong colors which seem to show both the tough and tender characteristics of women.

I love the combination of soft pastels and bright colors.
Rimi, you are especially talented. You bring out both the tender and tough sides of women.

I love that the bottom picture has simplicity with its colors, then the bright orange. I think it make it more appealing to look at :)
I absolutely love the texture of the first painting.. i feel like it makes the painting stand out more.
