ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER
Yang Jiechang (b. 1956, Foshan China) is considered one of the most outstanding contemporary artists emerging from China after the Cultural Revolution. One of his main goals is to integrate Chinese traditional painting, aesthetics and thought in a contemporary context. In 1989, his iconic Hundred Layers of Ink series was selected for the important exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at Pompidou in Paris, garnering him tremendous attention in the international art scene. Since then, he has lived in Paris and Heidelberg. In 2022, Guimet Museum held a major solo exhibition Carte Blanche à Yang Jiechang for Yang, and had a successful solo exhibition of porcelain vases of The Tale of the 11th Day at Sèvres Gallery of National Manufaction and Museum, Paris, France in 2021. And in Germany, Yang's For Bada paintings were included at Humboldt Forum, Germany's iconic museum, for the 2021-2022 exhibition Ethnological Collections and Asian Art.You may also like
