Yahon Chang in residence with Outset in London 28 January – 9 February 2019
Outset welcomes Taipei based artist Yahon Chang as its artist-in-residence in London from 28 January – 9 February 2019.
Exploring painting as performance, Chang uses elements from classical Chinese painting with gestural Western expressionism in a highly physical manner. Brought up in Taiwan after Japanese colonial rule, his works portray a particular visual language voicing agony, adversity and acceptance, whilst striving for higher spirituality and peace. Through the act of painting, both cultural and spiritual values are embodied in an intensely personal manner. Harking to Chinese ink-wash traditions, Chang uses a large ink brush to create powerful strokes on canvas or Chinese paper.

Exhibition
Poetry of the Flow, Collateral event at Manifesta 12,
Palermo
In the exhibition Poetry of the Flow, Yahon Chang’s site-specific installation converts the monumental space of the Sala delle Armi in Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri into an interactive environment, tackling philosophical, spiritual and existential issues that revolve around the contemporary human condition. Employing Chinese ink painting techniques, Poetry of the Flow shows multiple large-scale ink paintings that cover the entirety of the exhibition space that surround the viewer.
Over the last 2,000 years, Palermo has been occupied by numerous European countries and has long-term connections with North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. The artist draws inspiration from the social context.
