HERO

Inspired by the culture thoughts of western from
Classic Period to the Age of enlightenment, Yang
Maoyuan developed a unique way of sculpting. He
cited the concept of "beauty" from the western
culture, only for questioning it. To counter the
western discourse, Yang grinded and polished
all the edges and details of western classical
sculptures, reinterpreted them with the "inner
looking" eastern culture views.Yang Maoyuan
takes China's traditional culture and philosophy
as his inspiration. His works often express his
understanding on the sources of culture and the
core of life.
