+ OVERVIEW

In Yang's painting, the image produced from symbols of leaf, stump, axe, wild animal, shell, and people's head, interweave a strongly hinting picture that telling human's original sins and desires, also the build-up responsibility incurring upon human. Yang's disorderly and delicate metaphor is like a deeply lode source waiting for detonation. The molding of its consciousness images comes with deep romantic colors and fabulous symbol of a myth. (Yang's works during this same period is also collected by Taipei Fine Arts Museum)
