Chinese Calligraphy Meets Western Performance In his paintings the
Taiwanese artist Yahon Chang brings together traditional Chinese
ink-wash painting and Western forms of artistic expression to
produce a synthesis of East and West. Typically standing on large
sheets of linen or Xuan paper and wielding a brush almost as long
as he is tall, Chang creates works imbued with performative energy
and characterized by large, sweeping brushstrokes. Drawing on
Chinese literati and Zen (Chan) Buddhist traditions, the artist
understands painting as an activity that connects body and mind.
His entire body functions as an axis for these expressive paintings
and is influenced by his training in calligraphy. This publication
offers the first insight into the artist's extensive oeuvre and
includes exhibition views as well as accompanying texts.
