…then you zoom in On first appearance Yang Yongliang’s works have the compositional arrangement and style of ‘shansui’ landscape painting. In ‘shansui’ painting the shades and textures of rocks and mountains are made up of light ink strokes or ‘cun’. In Yang Yongliang’s works the surface is rendered with digital motifs, repeated in minute detail to form mountains made of skyscrapers and forests made from power towers or construction cranes. The digital motifs/brushstrokes create a tactile surface that gives the audience the impression of landscape. The audience is enticed by the sublimely beautiful remote mountain scenes, or by the waterfalls that cascade down the slopes of lofty peaks, to initially mistake these works as contemporary versions of traditional Song Dynasty (960-1179 AD) ink paintings. source and video installation -- source link
