Yehan's
contemporary paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions
in galleries and museums throughout China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan
and North America. He immigrated to Canada from Shanghai, China in
1995.
To
him, art is a partnership in design and color. He uses these aspects
to create images in which the process takes precedent. Nothing is
more exhilarating than spreading paint over the canvas with large,
expressive strokes. He tends to work with Chinese characters & folk
arts as an inspiration.
He
starts from the simplest way to reach the richest effects. His goal
is to stay as close to the edge as possible — to keep that sense
of organic happening, as if the painting had grown itself rather than
having been crafted by him. Yet it is the artist's eye, which seeks
to prevail — telling the hand to add that last brush stroke
which makes it all happen.
He
is inspired by many influential artists include particularly Joan
Mirò and Wassily Kandinsky. Both of these artists used energy
in ways to change how we look at art. As his mature, more and more
of his work reflect personal experience. From that experience He
see
himself striving to achieve his own sense of expression.
