John Y.
Chang expresses the duality of his Chinese and American experiences by
juxtaposing traditional and unconventional symbols and images through the
application of mixed media. Deconstructed
Chinese calligraphy collaged over segments of world history and references to
modern pop-culture depict his personal transformation. Chang’s use of calligraphy here contrasts the
customary usage of Chinese calligraphy.
Where the later has created a conformed expectation of structure and the
beauty of brushwork, John’s expressive characters allow for a freedom of
interpretation.
John Y.
Chang is a mixed media artist, calligrapher and abstract painter originally
from Shanghai, China who now resides in Southern California. www.johnychang.net
