Ngai Ning Yu - Echo

Ngai Ning Yu (b.2003, Hong Kong) was awarded a Bachelors degree in Fine Art Painting with First Class Honours at the University of the Arts London. In 2025, Yu was longlisted for the Jackson’s Art Prize and was recognised in Plaster Magazine x Royal Academy of Arts ‘The best of London Degree Shows’. Her practice explores the notion of ‘home’ as an emotional space of belonging, where memory can be revisited through shadow. Rooted in a profoundly nostalgic and often detached perspective, her paintings exist in the grey area between memory and invention, preserving the impermanence of lived experiences.

"In ‘Echo’, I think back to the living room of my previous family home, where I would watch the sheer curtains drifting as the sun had almost set. I believe that the absence of something can often make it feel more tangible, charging the space with a certain heaviness. Although I will never return to that previous home, its existence becomes an echo of a memory I carry around."

Delphian Gallery’s Open Call is an annual free-to-enter online competition with the intention of discovering the most captivating and challenging work by emerging and early-career artists. This year's judging was incredibly hard, but we have managed to choose works by these 36 incredibly exciting artists for the 2025 winners exhibition.

These are available as prints for a limited time only. We don't take a commission from our open-call prints, with 100% of the profits going directly to the artist.
