Welcome to Utterly Art

While Ling Yang Chang’s early Chinese ink paintings were artful studies in economy of size and subject, his current series shows his artistic maturity captured in a quintessential display of his decades-long exploration in less treaded grounds. In his expression of 20th century Southeast-Asian infrastructure, a picturesque skyline is done up by dark and aggressive brush strokes, and pacified by a delicate gradient of tones and shades to inject vigour and vitality into the aged buildings. The naturalistic paintings reveal a depth of wonderment at the grand beauty of Creation and inspire an inexplicable yearning for travel. Placed together, this series of works is borne of ruminations of the past and an artist’s untamable wanderlust.
