Yulia Hap

Yulia Hap (b. 1998) is a Polish painter who graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a BA (Hons) in 2025. She views her practice as taxidermy, recording the present as history: snapshots of a world preserved in anticipation of its disappearance. Selected for the Royal Scottish Academy New Contemporaries 2026, she received the RSA Art Prize and completed a Royal Drawing School residency at Dumfries House, with work acquired by Dumfries House Collection. Most recently she was chosen as a finalist to exhibit at Artevol 2026 at the Saatchi Gallery.
