Exposition:

Graduating from the Si Chuan Art School, Yang Shu is indeed a talented art wiz. Oil paintings and composition are his main focus. They are his interpretation of scenery or the life-long realization of art or internal impulse while he taught. A natural abstract presentation inspired his artwork.

“Colors and brushstrokes are the language of painting, presenting the relationship between viewers and the artworks.” Therefore he greatly utilized abstract elements, symbols, Chinese characters and alphabets in his artworks. This “Scrawl” may seem simple and direct; however, it expresses the confusion he has in life and completely differentiated from the literal meaning. Even though it is mere presentation of alphabets and lines but when the contrasting elements gather together and presenting on this non-traditional composition, the artwork has become more than meaning and can be explored even more deeply.
