Seizing the New World presents Yang Jin Long's new paintings created in the last two years. Yang moved to the United States from China three years ago. Since his arrival, Yang has been exploring his new surroundings by creating vibrant, provocative and imaginative paintings. Eight pairs of large canvas paintings, one series depicting the Four Seasons and second series a colorful exploration of bright hues and celebration of good wishes and fortune. A set of smaller paintings of Chinese Zodiac will be included in the exhibition to commemorate the 2010 Year of the Tiger.
Yang’s extensive training in traditional Chinese painting gives him great poetical depth in his approach to oil painting. Yang expressed, "At last, I am able to paint with colors and images with no limitation." These paintings show Yang’s acute talent and ability to transform his new medium to a marvelous visual feast bringing together on the same stage, references to Western and Chinese art masterpieces, music, literature, science, and culture.
