Yang Yanling 楊雁翎

Overview

An emerging Chinese artist who is known for her skillful gongbi technique in traditional ink painting, Yang Yanling has a very focused motif in her art – microscopic view of flowers. Having graduated from the traditional Chinese painting department of Shandong University of Arts, Yang has adopted an exquisite classical style that has its root in the Song dynasty; however, her extremely detailed depiction of isolated flowers, enlarged to fill the picture plane and rendered at various angles, almost makes her works reach the level of abstraction, merging traditional value with contemporary expression and offering viewers space for their imagination.
