A piece of work by Yang Erming
|
Some of Yang's critics in China, however, still consider his work to more "Western-style". Yang's allegiance to the traditional aspect of his craft is exhibited through his paintings. He uses colors in a way that makes them look conciliatory and not contradictory.
"That's what ink-and-wash is good at. It is hazy and implicit. We don't want to lose any of our traditional Chinese flavor, like the gentle outlines of oriental faces and figures, or the faint aroma of tea."
The central theme of tranquility runs through all his works, he says.
Or, as Laureillard puts it: "With Yang's delicate brushwork, all these scenes that might seem banal are magnified, creating an explosion of colors, whose poetry and refinement draw us in."
