Artworks
Born in Singapore, Ling Yang Chang has been involved in many aspects of
art-making over the last twenty years: artistic creations, group and
solo exhibitions, workshops, public lectures and art teaching. As a
graduate in Chinese Studies, Yang Chang finds a natural affinity for
Chinese brush painting, with its close attention to beauty of lines,
poetical resonance and philosophical depth. In this medium, Yang Chang
is a complete artist in the Chinese scholarly tradition; not only does
he carve his own seals, he also appends his artistic creations with his
own calligraphical writings. Moreover, the steely discipline required
in establishing a solid brush and ink control technique has built a
strong platform for Yang Chang's exploration into other artistic
fields, namely, Contemporary Chinese Art, and Modern and Abstract
Painting. Hence, Yang Chang's work is characterised by a delicate
balance of Chinese and Western influences. Even in the free rein of
Western Abstract expression, the fine lines and tonal qualities of
Chinese painting are never absent.
