Opening: Yang Yang’s “Beyond Dimensions”

In 1984 Yang Yang left his home in Nanchang, China and came to the U.S. to expand his studies in the arts and embark on his journey to become the renowned contemporary artist that he is today. His works are characterized by mythical settings where animals and humans share an existence of ambiguity – capturing an unconstrained perception of humanity through a combination of monochromatic colors, textures, and figures that transcend racial and ethnic assignment.

Seeking to provoke a story inside each viewer, Yang Yang’s works conduct a constantly growing narrative shaped by the mystique and internal interpretation of its viewers – bringing us into an illusory world beyond dimensions.

“There is no answer. You just have to think about it. If the artist does not tell the story, there will be a thousand stories.” – Yang Yang

Yang Yang’s works have exhibited in world class museums including the Xi’an Art Museum (2004), the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (2007), and the ShanDong Art Museum (2014).
