YANGYANG PAN

I recently discovered the work of Yangyang Pan (b. 1976) via The Jealous Curator, and was struck by the beautiful painterly quality of the works, made modern by electric color.

Pan was born and trained artistically in Sichuan, China, and now lives and works in Ontario, Canada.

Her website describes her paintings as "full of satisfaction" and relates her use of brushstrokes to Chinese calligraphy, which she uses to represent landscape and flora.

Personally, I find the oil-on-canvas works to be reminiscent of one of my very favorite Abstract Expressionist artists, Joan Mitchell. View my Mitchell post here.

Pan's work is currently on view at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art.

MIDDAY

Me, midday, 2012

Anthony Caro, Midday, 1964

People have asked me to describe what my sculpture is about and I keep on saying its like music. What I think I mean by that is that Im trying to take out the whole business of it being pieces of steel that are used in engineering, pieces of steel that are used in architecture. I just happen to use those materials instead of using notes.
