Andy starts his creative process with first composing a different set of colors based on the emotions and feelings of the day along with soundscapes and music playing in his subconscious mind. Totally led by inspirations generated from the emotions, music and color fields all taking place in his subconsciousness, Andy then translated these onto the canvasses via energetic air blown strokes, bold splashes of paints, interspersed with sudden burst of colors, all working together in a rhythmic flow which sometimes seem to carry on indefinitely beyond the confines of the canvasses.
Often times, meditation on the music and feelings will inspire a sudden burst of creative energy and this is evident is some pieces where you see focused areas of 'activities' on the canvasses. As apparent in Andy's works, bright colors are used sporadically with darker colors or vice-versa to depict a dramatic effect on the paintings.
About Andy Yang
Andy has been working as a professional Illustrator/Artist over the last 11 years, supporting advertising and design agencies both locally and internationally and has garnered quite a number of prestigious advertising awards under his wings, from D&AD UK to Communication Arts US and the latest, Cannes Lions. The visual impacts of his works are derived from his expressive techniques of mixing mediums and clashing colours. Sometimes they also escape the formal confines of the canvas and extend onto the frames, highlighting the capriciousness of his thought process. Influenced by the exuberance of everyday life, music (especially) and fascination in nature and its landscapes, it’s his need for exploring his personal style and interest in unexpected juxtapositions that has led Andy to push his craft progressively, a trait he has come to be well-known for.
Always the passionate Artist, Andy is constantly exploring new mediums and pushing boundaries. His latest fascination in human emotions and nature has led him to his latest series of oil/ acrylic paintings interpreting emotions, strongly rooted in abstract expressionism. In his ongoing passion to paint with music using a wide array of musical instruments, Andy composed a piece of music for each of the artwork he has in mind. Each artwork was then created with the music that he has recorded looping in the background. Each brush stroke that he transferred onto the canvasses was a reaction of his emotions to the pieces of music created.
