Sketching Dog

Yang Shaobin melds the nature of the violence. It is always a direct and material physical suffering. Sketching Dog is the representative work of Yang's. Yang captures it in its most immediate state: in daily life, in books, in the newspaper or on television. Yang searches for moments of transition, processes and fragments of violence that he plucks from their context and places between parentheses. He erases the space surrounding violence. Yang pierces the fog of history to put us in direct confrontation with its core.
