“I can’t explain the persistence I have for painting as though it was an in-built gene and triggers my inspiration from time to time; it’s also like an incurable disease.”
After years in his painting career, Yang Shih Hong went through several transformation in his art style: from the contemplation of life and existence in his school years to the exploration of urban civilization when he entered the work force. He experienced cultural difference and pain from illness which derived into his studies in discussing life and death and the origin of the universe. He developed a series of studies in plantation arts and conscience and later sublimated to an astonishment of life. He intended to present the images of his inner self and through intricate allocation the strong lines, ever-changing texture, delicate choice of color, deep contrasts of light and shadow are composed on his canvas. His deep contemplation and continual development in life admires many with his prolific art works.

The composition of 《Fugue》is rational, delicate and smooth. It has a rich and versatile texture; the colors and lights are gentle and explicit. He has subtly sketched a hazy languor in a lively style. His skills are prudent and precise that enabled a perfect balance on a full of tension canvas. A brilliant artist who is also sentimental in his expression and skills; he created a contract between tension and harmony. Complementing, contrasting, tensed, or widespread are all evenly distributed on this art work.
