Yang Shu (b. 1965) was born in Chongqing, graduated from oil painting department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with master‘s degree in 1988. Then he worked as a professor in the institute. Yang spent one year doing research in Amsterdam Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Netherlands 1995. He participated in the landmark exhibition “China / Avant-Garde” held at the National Art Museum of China in 1989. Yang Shu's innate talent for modeling and a solid foundation in college realism helped him establish an in-depth knowledge of the structure and color of abstraction. Yang’s works have been exhibited in many museums, cultural institutions both at home and overseas, such as National Art Museum of China, CAFA Art Museum, Network of International Culturalink Entities, Long Museum, Kulturbahnhof, Stadtführungen in Düsseldorf, Japan-China Friendship Center etc.. Since the 1990s, Yang's creations have gradually evolved from non-figurative works influenced by Expressionism to today's uniquely charismatic “Yang-style” visual creations. His creations are not only concerned with the changes in the real world, but also integrate the critical spirit and aesthetic creation, transforming the destruction of flat structures into the reorganization of comprehensive materials, and condensing a cold and explosive poetry.
