YveYANG

About the Gallery
Founded in 2022, YveYANG is dedicated to discovering emerging artists and historically overlooked practices from around the world. Located in a former sewing machine factory at the border of SoHo and Tribeca in New York City, the gallery focuses on materially distinct and critically engaged work. YveYANG builds its program through close dialogue with its artists, shaped by a sensitivity to form, context, and intensity, and bolsters it through a meaningful international presence.

About the Presentation
YveYANG will present work by Anna-Maria Škroba and Raphael Egil in a duo presentation at Independent. Škroba’s portraits distill the figure into an intensified state of presence, using spatial ambiguity and restraint to convey psychological tension without narrative closure. Egil’s paintings likewise resist fixed form, combining close observation with poetic abstraction to transform everyday motifs and art-historical references into atmospherically unstable scenes. Together, their practices point to a renewed attention to slowness, duration, and perceptual uncertainty—qualities that feel increasingly urgent in a moment shaped by speed, clarity, and over-articulation.
