CURRENT at Tang Contemporary Art Singapore Space - Yang MaoYuan’s Solo Exhibition - “Unforeseen Encounters” YangMaoyuan
Featuring a new body of paintings and sculptures, this exhibition brings together works from the Pot People, Balloon People, and Faces series, introducing Singapore audiences to one of the most influential figures in post-1989 Chinese contemporary art.
“Art is not the most important thing. Using art to understand people may be much more interesting. I don’t really think in terms of the logic of art history; I think in terms of human logic—my own logic.”
Yang’s ‘Unforeseen Encounters’, takes its title from an ancient Chinese phrase. As Guliang Zhuan observes, “An encounter is a meeting without prior arrangement.” For Yang, encounters are the starting point of his artistic practice. Experiences gathered over many years, from archaeological sites and historic architecture to regional landscapes and everyday objects, become the foundation for works that are shaped through the process of making rather than a fixed narrative. Yang Maoyuan’s: Unforeseen Encounters marks an important presentation of the artist’s work in Singapore and offers audiences the opportunity to engage with a practice that has had a lasting impact on contemporary Chinese art.
