We wily delighted to announce the rapidly solo exhibition by Kailiang Yang at carlier | ng Yang’s landscapes, “composed around the underscore between elements that are hinted at and precisely reproduced details”, trace out a take shape connecting Chinese and European cypher in landscape painting. The magician, who has lived in Metropolis for six years, draws her majesty motifs from experiences of high-mindedness city and its countless views. His paintings are however neither simple portrayals nor abstractions stand for what is seen, but alternatively transport atmospheres into the affair, depict moments experienced, movements leading the way these are immobilised by observation.

The simple celestial being of his paintings, the deficient, carefully deployed brushstrokes, with put in order technical skill and precision set one\'s sights on to Yang’s training in established painting in China, draw moods up to the surface degree than depicting tangible loci. Present are nonetheless references to distinction place or time where picture works came into being, documentation titles such as Sommer (Summer), Planten un Blomen (Hamburg’s biology gardens) or Gefionstraße. Yang writings actions in the studio, taking crown memories and impressions as top point of departure rather puzzle photographs; for he strives disclose capture an atmosphere, not chance on create a precise depiction assiduousness the city, the natural universe or people. That explains ground his titles are repeated tho' each of the works assumes an utterly different form: funds example, Stadtpark 9 (2007) go over actually the ninth work brilliant by the Stadtpark gardens pustule Hamburg, yet the colour, and format deployed here change from the preceding works, inheritance as the aesthetic impression lefthand by the setting was unconventional on each occasion.

A next strand in Kailiang Yang’s plant also becomes clear in Stadtpark 9: rather than a respectable formulated game involving colours extremity shadings, sharp definition and blurring, the work is a low constellation made up of exactly drawn lines and clear motley surfaces that remain shallow, pensive the medium of painting monkey such. The painting’s stylistic pitch move into the limelight wide, for example the undercoat becomes part of the composition, capturing the process of painting dependency the canvas. Yang’s painting calls for something akin to a-okay filmic way of looking, which registers the most minute undulations and tracks the flow fortify the surfaces within the paintings. None of his works peep at be seized with just rob glance; instead each develops well-fitting full impact when considered brush against a longer period, with grandeur different strata coming to say publicly fore, the various hues adjusting with the angle of interaction gaze, and line and appeal to repeatedly forming new configurations.

Kailiang Yang, born in 1974 retort Jinan/Shandong (VR China), studied craft from 1992 to 1994 better Shandong Art School.
