Ye Yongqing "Paint A Bird: Paradox and Reality"
China Square
This event has ended.
Through Ye’s clever stroke, the poetic impression of his birds unites the dreams and mythologies the world over. Recreating the immediacy of his sketches, in large sweeping gestures, Ye develops a style that is both traditional and anew. This series of paradoxical structures curve the frames of birds: depicting stillness and movement. His ephemeral stroke shows a studied knowledge of form and gesture. Like the scholarly art of calligraphy, his exacting movements breeze through the picture plain. Unlike literati art, his stroke stands formed yet fragmented, elegant yet rough, controlled yet whimsical, thick yet thin. These distorted frames of Ye’s create the image of birds and the expansive connections of mythologies. Birds symbolize the power of spirit and are found
throughout legends, both east and west. His birds breathe reality and fantasy, living a world of paradox.
