Biography
Born in 1980 in Old Town Jiading, Shanghai, Yang Yongliang studied Chinese painting since childhood. In the early 2000s, he graduated from Shanghai Institute of Design of China Academy of Art and started his experiments in multidisciplinary art. Yang currently lives and works in New York and Shanghai.
Decades ago, his own birthplace, an ancient water town with traditional houses was swallowed by the ever-expanding Shanghai suburbs and upon returning from university, almost everything he remembered had vanished. This traumatic erasure of personal history lays at the heart of Yongliang’s works. Fascinated and appalled by this transformation, his re-constructs landscapes drawing inspiration from Song Dynasty paintings, intertwining with evidence of the perpetual cycle of demolition and construction, as a lament for all that has been lost, and a warning for the future.
Yang’s digital Chinese landscapes have redefined traditional landscape paintings, featuring a massive amount of urban images reconstructed, and recomposed. Poetic and quaint as it appears to be when seen from a distance, it unfolds a fable of modern civilization if one takes a closer look.
His works have been exhibited internationally and collected by public institutions worldwide, including Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the British Museum in London, Paris Museum of Modern Art and National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
