杨伯都，1986年生于天津，现于北京生活及工作。2008年于天津美术学院本科毕业，2012年于宾夕法尼亚美术学院取得艺术硕士。
她的作品被形容为在精神层面上游离的 “艺术景观”。她笔下的当代艺术在充满刺激的同时却问题重重：观赏画作是个隐私的过程，艺术家却将此经验挪移到全然公共的空间，将观众传送到孤寂的环境中。许多作品的内容都关注在博物馆或美术馆空间，将这个抽象的、空荡荡的、理想化的空间既作为人类行动的舞台，又作为一种不在场状态的庆祝。在过去的几年里，杨伯都一直在观察这些光线均匀，构造奇妙的建筑空间，并以此作为其个人绘画的基础场景。她的创作就发生在这个介于私人与公共，创造与凝视，以及观看与观看的奇妙空间中。2011年，获颁 Justine Cretella 纪念奖学金，2012年凭借在PAFA学生周年展览上出众的表现，赢得 Fellowship Trust Prize。

Yang Bodu (b. 1986, Tianjin; lives and works in Beijing, China) received her BFA in 2008 from Tianjin Academy of Art, followed by her MFA from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 2012.
Yang’s work was described as departing from the ‘art scene’ mentality that renders contemporary art both exciting and problematic, and transports viewers to an isolated environment where viewing an artwork is a private activity in an entirely public space. Many works focus on the space of the museum or the art gallery, embracing this abstracted, emptied, idealized space as both a stage for human action and a celebration of its absence. For the past several years Yang Bodu has looked at these evenly lit, dramatically constructed architectural moments as ways of seeing as well as the eventual foundations for individual material paintings. Her practice takes place in this uncanny space between private and public, between making and viewing, and between seeing and being seen. In 2011, Yang was the recipient of the Justine Cretella Memorial Scholarship. In 2012, she won the Fellowship Trust Prize for her outstanding presentation in PAFA’s Annual Student Exhibition.
