Yang Tze-Yun
1954 born in Taiwan
Intro
A famous calligrapher and painter living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He has been active in Europe with modern calligraphy since 1994. He is a pioneer of calligraphy modernism. In recent years, he is known as the father of modern calligraphy in Taiwan. He is the same as Liu Guosong, the father of modern ink painting and the father of modern abstract painting. Li Zhongsheng, complement each other.
Yang has dissolved the essence of three thousand years of Chinese seal script, official script and regular script, abandoned the constraints of three thousand years of writing and returned to pure line expression. The expressive lines of this work allow for the "moment" and "rhythm" of traditional calligraphy aesthetics, as well as the spatial tension of freehand painting. It is a modern and original form with profound traditions. As a pioneer of calligraphy modernism, Yang's modern calligraphy skills are as bold and straightforward as his person. The form is rooted in traditional calligraphy, but completely free of text symbols, and has strong metaphysical appeals; the passion of life and the confrontation between rationality and irrationality are revealed between the casual stippling, and it presents an extremely concise yet mysterious image. of infinite meaning.
Since 1994, Yang Tze-Yun has been active on the international stage, holding international exhibitions in Belgium, Italy, Spain, Beijing, Tokyo, Taipei, etc., as well as solo exhibitions in Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands. His distinctive, unique and highly expressive modern calligraphy art often becomes the focus of attention in international exhibitions. He successfully transformed traditional calligraphy, which is familiar to Easterners but incomprehensible to Westerners, into a modern form that Westerners can intuitively appreciate without having to explain it in words.
