Bo-Lo & Stallion - Xu Yun and Yang Zi-Ann /A Collection by Prof.Louis W. Chang
Bo-Lo, in Chinese legend, was a person who could recognize a stallion (horse with great potentials) although that horse was still unnoticed by most common people. Such ability in "foreseeing" long-ranged potentials of an artist's art is the essence in art collection. Indeed, a successful art collection depends more on one's "foresights" than just on one's "financial capability". Prof. Louis W. Chang is a renowned art collector, especially on paintings. He has built an admirable collection of paintings by using his "foresights" on art before many paintings have risen to unreachable values. 102 Gallery is fortunate to get Prof. Chang to share some of his foresights with art lovers in Taiwan. In this Special Exhibition, Prof. Chang will introduce works by two artists, Xu Yun and Yang Zi-Ann, whom he felt to be "hidden stallions" in the world of art.
Both Xu Yun and Yang Zi-Ann are still relatively "young" (under 60 year's old) artists in China. Xu is especially famous for his horse paintings. His horses were painted with splashed ink technique providing the horses with life, spirit, and power. He also liked to paint with sensuality of Tang dynasty: ladies, horses.......... portraying both elegance and grace.
Yang Zi-Ann is the Associate Director of the Zhiangsu Ju-Yung Art Institute in Nanjing. Yang painted his "Chinese" landscape paintings with "western" concepts via unique and self-created techniques. From a distance, one sees "Chinese landscape" paintings with "traditional" floating lines and vibrant colors. However, at close, one sees "contemporary" motifs and delicate textures. Viewers many times would utter: "Ohhh, look at this !" or " Wow, how did he do that ?!".........
Regardless of the "boldness" of Xu Yun or the "delicacy" of Yang Zi-Ann, one will be totally "swallowed" by the arts of these two artists. Come to Prof. Chang's lecture sponsored by 102 Gallery at smile hoo coffee at 9:30AM ,Mar.10,2015 , as well as to the 102 Gallery exhibition between Mar.10 – Apr.26 and experience this wonder. It promises to be an pleasing experience, in either viewing or in purchase, that you will never forget.
