Shenzhong Yang

Shenzhong Yang was born in Fujian, China in 1973 and graduated from the China Art Academy. Yang's “City” series compares the development of urban culture to the development of a biological organism because both evolve according to similar patterns. Thus, the city in its rapid modernization becomes an independent cultural entity but suffers the loss of humanistic spirit. Yang's artworks criticize rapid urbanization and pose questions concerning the fate of the human soul.
