Recent Paintings by Yang Jin Long
Running Jan 23 through April 18th, 2010.
Dallas, Texas
As a child of the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, Yang Jin Long grew up in a society that not only stifled creativity, but forced its intellectuals and artists to be "re-educated" to serve as laborers in the fields and factories. Now, he filters the traditions of his homeland through a Western pop sensibility, often pairing hypermodern and fabled human figures with the detritus of pop culture iconography in surreal situations that defy immediate logic. Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art.
