Duyi Han (1994) creates objects, images, and environments as “neuroaesthetic prescriptions”—visual and spatial compositions designed to evoke emotion, engage the psychological conditions of contemporary life, and examine the evolving structures of human visual culture.
His practice synthesizes the visual strategies of fashion, the symbolic structures of belief systems, and the experimental logic of pharmaceutical science. Drawing from art history, scientific theory, and cultural systems, he recombines visual languages into “aesthetic compounds” that investigate how form and image shape emotion, meaning, and worldview.
Informed by Taoist concepts of transformation and impermanence, Duyi Han treats the history of visual culture as active material—subject to constant reinterpretation and recontextualization. He positions art and design not only as emotional catalysts but also as research tools for reimagining visual heritage and its future.
Duyi Han’s work has been recognized by multidisciplinary awards and media platforms in more than 20 languages. His work is in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). His Ordinance of the Subconscious Treatment is named among the 12 best installations at Milan Design Week by Architectural Digest. Duyi Han’s work has been in numerous international exhibitions. He has served as a judge at international design competitions and as an advisor at leading art and design schools. He has collaborated with brands including Dior.
Duyi Han studied architecture at Cornell University. He currently produces work in Shanghai and travels internationally.
