Biography
Yang Guangnan (b. 1980, Hebei, China) graduated from the Sculpture Department of the China Academy of Art with B.A in 2006, and the Sculpture Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts with M.A in 2009. She currently lives and works in Beijing.
Taking the traditional language of sculpture as her starting point, Yang Guangnan gradually expands her artistic medium to installation and video. She investigates and elaborates upon personal experience in the everyday life, developing artworks that are charged with an emotional strength. Actively dealing with an individual’ s living condition, identity, affects and temporal experience, the artworks are seemingly spontaneous and casual; also present and pervading in the artworks however, is a distinct, delicate, sharp, unyielding and resilient consciousness, that renders Yang’ s practice utterly and patently singular.
