Mingyi Gan is a New York-based illustrator, graphic designer, and zine maker. She is currently pursuing a BFA Illustration degree at School of Visual Arts.

Specializing in vibrant color and fashionable composition, Mingyi also excels in human body modeling and line quality. Her works are both visually captivating and intellectually stimulating, reflecting her exploration of the world through the lens of neoteric surrealism.

Rather than drawing direct inspiration from contemporary illustrators, Mingyi finds creative fuel in diverse fields such as music, architecture, graphic design, and fashion. She extracts the essence of these influences to craft her distinct artistic language, continually pushing the boundaries of her practice. Living in the East Village, she draws inspiration from every step, from graffiti to vintage shop displays. For Mingyi, New York is a living canvas, offering tangible resources she eagerly assimilates through exploration and experience.

She has primarily worked on posters and cover art designs. She has also worked on graphic design projects.
