Choi’s subtle works implicitly contain the artist’s broad worldview and in-depth reflects of the reality.
Using the fluidity of the Chinese traditional ink drawings and the contemporary influenced composition, Yang Kai seeks an individualized manner to define and present his judgments and emotions toward culture.
