Based on the available archive data for **Yu Lei**, the following can be noted regarding his representative works and creative style:
### Representative Works
- *城堡* (Castle, 2025) – Mixed media on canvas (deer glue, mineral powders, casein tempera, resin, aged ink, carbon nanotube blackbody, acrylic solution)
- *被伽马射线照射过的泰坦* (Titans Irradiated by Gamma Rays, 2024) – Mixed media on canvas (same material combination)
- *Y任* (Y Ren, 2024) – Mixed media on canvas (same material combination)
### Creative Style
Yu Lei works in a highly **experimental** and **conceptually driven** manner, blending elements of **abstract art** with a strong material sensitivity. His practice is characterized by the use of complex, multi-layered mixed media on canvas, incorporating unconventional substances such as deer glue, mineral powders, casein tempera, aged ink, and even carbon nanotube blackbody alongside acrylics. This approach results in textured, almost alchemical surfaces that fuse traditional pigment-based techniques with contemporary synthetic materials. Thematically, his work navigates issues of **cultural identity**, **memory and time**, **social commentary**, and **globalization**, positioning him as a young Asian diaspora artist who bridges personal introspection with broader socio-cultural reflections. Recent exhibitions, including the group show "肌体的编织" (Weaving of the Body) at Hive Center for Contemporary Art (2023/2025), have featured works spanning painting, sculpture, and installation, further underscoring his interdisciplinary, material-led ethos.
