Earth Roots. Paintings 1985-1999
INK Studio, Beijing
INK Studio, the critically-acclaimed Beijing art gallery, is proud to present Earth Roots, the first systematic survey of internationally renowned artist Yang Jiechang’s One Hundred Layers of Ink series. A stunning statement in its inception in 1989, the series has been extremely influential on the development of contemporary Chinese art, anticipating now-commonplace strategies like repetition, inarticulacy, traceless action, and monumentality. Earth Roots delves into the foundations of One Hundred Layers of Ink in Yang’s calligraphy and early abstractions, and traces its multifaceted evolution through the late 1980′s and 1990′s. Please join us for the opening reception on:
Saturday, June 10th
4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
[Artist walk-through at 5:00pm]
