The Bronx Museum 2025 AIM Fellow
V Yeh
ARTIST STATEMENT
V Yeh (he/him) makes conceptual, often satirical, work to interrogate normativity and cultural and scientific biases. Sometimes this takes the form of a life-sized figurative painting, other times a sutured sculpture, or even a math test. These multiple entryways into the work provide access to different viewers and point to how interconnected these issues are. Yeh crafts each work in a way that thinks with the viewer rather than for, which he finds integral to art’s unique ability to critique and reshape systems of pedagogy and power from the outside.
Biography
V Yeh (b. 1996, USA) is an artist whose practice/praxis is in dialogue with science, medicine, and the visual and performance arts. His multimodal work grapples with normativity, scientific and cultural biases, and the material reality of specific bodyminds. Yeh was awarded the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts and Eugene Leake Award upon graduating from Johns Hopkins University in 2019 with a BA in Medicine, Science, and the Humanities, and holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art. He received a 2025 AIM Fellowship at The Bronx Museum.
