Jing Han Yang: Cyanotype 2 card

About The Artist

Jing Han Yang

Jing Han Yang is a multidisciplinary artist whose work aims to obscure familiar environments and objects. Yang is inspired by the simultaneousbanality and visual maximalism of commercial media. Many of their works look at themes of interpersonal relationships and bodily autonomy. Clay and printmaking figure as natural mediums for Yang to communicate their ideas. They feel clay can be plastic yet rigid, capturing both the permanence of an environment or object and the impermanence of memory. Printmaking, for Yang, is about replicating symbols, shapes, and ideas and therefore an appropriate medium to use in an investigation of commercialism. Their work has been exhibited at Visual Arts Mississauga, Sheridan College, and the Art Museum. Yang will be pursuing a Master of Fine Arts from Jingdezhen Ceramic University in September of 2023. "I am an artist as much as I am an educator. I am interested in creating work that inspires and drives people to create their own work. I want to encourage people to understand material and texture and to be closer to the objects they interact with every day. I enjoy playing with new forms of media and employing the elements of printmaking to them. I am experimenting with shifting wide-held perspectives on what is commonplace and reconsidering them as spectacular."
