Yang Liming (b. 1975, Sichuan, China) is a leading figure in Chinese monochromatic painting, recognized for using traditional Chinese brushes to create oil paintings that integrate "calligraphic curves" distilled from the DNA of Chinese art. Merging Western abstraction with Eastern imagery and the concept of void, he transforms the rhythm of calligraphy into musical cadences on canvas.
His works have been exhibited and collected by major institutions including Fukuoka Art Museum (Japan), Sammlung Essl Museum (Austria), White Rabbit Gallery (Australia), Kunstraum Villa Friede (Germany), Changjiang Museum of Contemporary Art (China), Taylor Artist Association (France), Luzern Contemporary Art Museum (Switzerland), Zhangjiang Contemporary Museum (China), Yuan Art Museum (China), and Edinburgh Art Festival Summerhall (UK).
