Yang Yongliang's Podcast by Schoeni Art Gallery Schoeni Art Gallery's Podcast

    • Visual Arts

This podcast is part of Schoeni Art Gallery's Conversation series, that was produced in celebration of the gallery's 20th Anniversary in November 2013.

Having been exposed to traditional Chinese art from an early age and training in painting and calligraphy for over a decade has definitely left its mark on Yang Yonglian's artistic expressions. Nevertheless, post-1980's technological advancements crept into his process of art making; resulting in contradictory usual representations of the rapid urbanization of Chinese cities imbued with aesthetics of ancient Chinese art. Finding new ways for Chinese art to thrive and continue to flourish, Yang Yongliang uses new media and photography to render the characteristics of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting.

This podcast is in Chinese. If you're knowledge of the Chinese language is not good enough to understand what the artist is saying, please visit our YouTube channel where we have created the same podcast but with images and subtitles. http://www.youtube.com/user/schoeniartgalleryhk
