Description
Tang Contemporary Art Hong Kong is proud to present “Blue-green: Yin Zhaoyang New Works”. The exhibition will showcase oil paintings from his Landscape series, sculptures, and installations reflecting the artist’s all new experiments with materials.
It has been nearly ten years since Yin Zhaoyang began making his Landscape series in 2011. As a theme, landscape is a vast realm that has been embraced in China and the West for more than one thousand years, and re-examining and re-interpreting something so ancient is where the creativity lies. Yin diligently examined and copied ancient Chinese literati paintings, then he studied the beginnings and later development of Impressionism and Expressionism in China, focusing on the comparative study of the language of painting. Yin Zhaoyang is an immensely talented and confident artist, and he has a careful, thorough understanding of the Chinese and Western traditions. Almost from the beginning of this series, he created immensely individual landscapes. With dynamic creativity, he has broken barriers and experimented for ten years, advancing the techniques and implications in his paintings. Thick textures, deep colours, and tight structures give the landscapes a fierce, direct visual effect. The language of Western Abstract Expressionism is fused with Eastern visual imagery, presenting a valiant power and vigorous tone. “I used a famous mountain as a starting point for seeing myself and completing myself.” Yin Zhaoyang’s landscapes draw from the ancients and from nature, and in the end, their uniqueness stems from his self-projection.
