Through depicting his state of mind naturally, Yang Chi Hung had a deep realization about the passing of time. He once said, “the older I get, the stronger I feel about time. Time files and you have to be living in the moment to feel it. Everything in the universe changes spontaneously.” Recently, Yang released a lot of space in his painting hoping to tell more and enable the viewers to see infinite possibilities. This is his attempt after becoming more simple and far-sighted. The content has become richer and more touching. We can see time but it truly exists, and the artist wishes to grasp the moment to leave a seep memory in life.

Epic of Tome shows a strong contrast between black and white. The dark brings out the strong reflection of white. It’s like the passing of time, spontaneous and turbulent. With strong energy flowing within, the artist blended the outside world with his believes and brings the viewers into a stirring time and space. The sophisticated layer changes are visual and spatial and even and even spiritual tension. Transforming the initial impact and speed into a delicate realization of life, the artist perfectly froze time and enabled the viewers to reinterpret their experience.
