SPECIAL EVENT
Yang Yongliang 杨泳梁
Renowned for his futuristic yet mesmerising digital landscape paintings, artist Yang Yongliang explores possible urban utopias through the lens of contemporary Shanshui.
In embedding sprawling megacities within quietly idyllic mountains and rivers, Yang Yongliang orchestrates a teeming harmony of nature, modernity, culture and tradition.
Yet beneath the grand high-rise spectacle lie subtle hints of cold dissonance and urban loneliness, as industrial liveliness slowly takes on a rhythm of monotony.
Presented in ArtScience Museum’s lobby LED screen against the wider backdrop of the stunning Marina Bay skyline, A Quiet City and Glows in the Arctic open a digital portal to speculative futures – inviting contemplation on how cities can shape, integrate or transform with our immediate environment.
A Quiet City plays at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm daily.
Glows in the Arctic plays at 6pm daily, with additional showtimes at 7pm and 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
About The Artist
Born in 1980 in Old Town Jiading, Shanghai, Yang Yongliang 杨泳梁 studied Chinese painting since childhood. In the early 2000s, he graduated from Shanghai Institute of Design of China Academy of Art and started his experiments in multidisciplinary art. Yang currently lives and works in New York and Shanghai.
Yang’s digital Chinese landscapes have redefined traditional landscape paintings, featuring a massive amount of urban images reconstructed, and recomposed. Poetic and quaint as it appears to be when seen from a distance, it unfolds a fable of modern civilization if one takes a closer look. His works have been exhibited internationally and collected by public institutions worldwide, including Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the British Museum in London, Paris Museum of Modern Art and National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.
