Description
This is an abstract from an exhibition catalogue. The author, Hou Hanru, a celebrated Chinese critic and curator who lives and works in Europe and the US, discusses how Jie-Chang Yang used his calligraphy and ink paintings to deconstruct the exoticized image of Chinese art. Some manufacturing details of Yang's work are introduced later in the essay. Jie-Chang Yang's idea of the relationship between man and nature as well as man and culture is embodied via these arts, according to the author. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
