Yang Maolin (Chinese: 楊茂林; pinyin: Yáng Màolín; born 1953) is a noted contemporary Taiwanese artist.
Biography
Yang was born in 1953 in Changhua, Taiwan. His father had served in the Japanese Army and was imprisoned by the Kuomintang after World War II, while his relatives were involved in the February 28 incident.[1] Yang's mother and father worked as laborers, and the family struggled financially.[2]
Yang studied painting at the Chinese Culture University from 1975 to 1979, and attended graduate school at the National Institute of the Arts in Taipei from 1999 to 2002.[3] From 1995, Yang was represented by Lin & Keng Gallery.[4]
Career
Yang co-founded several artists groups linked to the Transavantgarde movement in Taiwan: 101 and the Taipei Group in the 1980s, and Hantooshe in the late 1990s. He is chiefly known for his politically charged paintings of the 1980s, and his decade-long investigation into the political, the historical and cultural aspects of Taiwanese identity during the 1990s. After the turn of the millennium he started to explore sculpture, blending buddhist iconology with manga icons.[5] Beyond numerous museum shows in Taiwan and Asia, he participated three times at the Venice Biennale: in 1999 he took part in the collateral event VOC- Handle with Care, in 2009 he staged his solo show Temple of Sublime Beauty, Made in Taiwan and in 2011 he participated at Future Pass.
