Artist: Yang Tze Yun (Taiwan)









Yang Tze Yun has become a pioneer of calligraphic body-expressionism, and he renewed the interpretation of Asian calligraphy. He started his career in Europe in 1994, participating in Lineart (International Art Fair in Gent, Belgium) in 1995 till now. 

The evolution of writing characters, as is most commonly known in calligraphy, to this non-character based expressionism has brought Chinese calligraphy to a new domain. The symbols are no longer oriental, and have become universally perceived. Yang breathes a contemporary soul into his calligraphy, releasing his energy into the writing and giving much more power to the symbols.
