1990年生于陕西，生活工作于北京。本科及硕士毕业于中央美术学院油画系，2017年毕业于纽约Pratt Institute 获纯艺术硕士学位。叶江的作品始终围绕对绘画的理解与个人经验的转译，视绘画为将视觉理解图像化、物质化的手段。他认为，当代生活中的认知皆是被建构的，一手经验也非事物本身。绘画则在变化中留下印记，如刻舟求剑般，求剑是契机，刻痕才是真实。在此过程中，艺术家抛却观众对真实的执着，尝试以绘画赋予虚拟图像真实的质感，从而介入现实。
Born in Shaanxi in 1990, lives and works in Beijing. He graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and a master’s degree in Pratt Institute, New York in 2017. Ye Jiang's works are always centered on the understanding of painting and the translation of personal experience, seeing painting as a means to visualize and materialize visual understanding. He believes that all perceptions in contemporary life are constructed, and that first-hand experience is not the thing itself. Painting, on the other hand, leaves a mark in the midst of change, like a sword in a boat, where the sword is the opportunity and the mark is the reality. In this process, the artist puts aside the viewer's obsession with reality and tries to intervene in reality by using painting to give a real texture to virtual images.
