This AAPI Month we’re highlighting an artist who created a movement and redefined modern art! After immigrating from China to San Francisco as a teenager, Yun Gee became a rising force in the city’s modern art scene, eventually creating his own philosophy of painting called “Diamondism.” His paintings transformed Chinatown streets into glowing geometric worlds while also challenging ideas about race and identity. Today, Gee’s work is finally being recognized as a groundbreaking contribution to modern art. Swipe to learn about this story. 🎨🖌️ 📍Yun Gee’s work is on view at the Oakland Museum of CA #AAPIMonth #ArtHistory #BayAreaArt #OaklandMuseumCA #YunGee
