Hanart TZ Gallery is honoured this September to present ‘Constructing Eternity’, an exhibition of ink paintings by late Taiwanese master artist Yeh Shih-Chiang (1926-2012).
Yeh Shih-Chiang was born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, China, and died in Taipei in 2012. He was among the last class of students at the Guangzhou Municipal Junior Art College under the directorship of the illustrious ink painter Gao Jianfu. In 1949, Yeh and a few classmates planned an art expedition to the famous Dunhuang Grottoes, but they were frustrated in the effort due to China’s civil war, which prompted them to redirect their journey to Taiwan instead; but here Yeh was caught up with the retreat of the National Republic government, and spent the rest of his life in Taiwan.
Opening and Mid-Autumn Reception: 14 September, Saturday, 2-6pm
Galler address: 2C Mai On Industrial Building, 17-21 Kung Yip Street, Kwai Chung
