Mountains are a potent metaphor for constancy in a changing world. Yang Jinsong returns to Sydney with Mountain Song, his first exhibition since his show in 2013 at the Ray Hughes gallery.

Trained at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and Kassel College of Art (KhK), Yang has incorporated both Eastern and Western perspectives in his art. The dynamic strokes of black and grey lines are inherited from the calligraphy tradition, which Yang practices daily. His works remind us of artists such as Cy Twombly who explore the lines between drawing and writing. They also draw on the sublime landscape paintings and poetry of the Song Dynasty and give the title of the exhibition, Mountain Song, its double meaning.

Internationally renowned German art critic, Ursula Panhans-Bühler wrote: “Yang Jinsong brings the audience in contact with a richness of experience which is often hidden behind many everyday duties that have overridden its deepness. That is the role of an artist.”
