The New York Times covers Oscar yi Hou’s Brooklyn Museum exhibition
When a prolific artist has only turned 24, it’s probably safe to say that his pieces can be considered “early work.”
Despite his youth, the New York–based British artist Oscar yi Hou has a recently opened exhibition of 11 paintings at the Brooklyn Museum, making him one of the youngest artists to have a solo show at a major New York museum. “Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon” will be on view through Sept. 17, 2023.

The exhibition is part of the Uovo Prize for Brooklyn artists, sponsored by the art storage company Uovo, won by Mr. yi Hou this year.
