David Yang(Yang Te-Hui)
is an artist who has maintained the essence of Chinese brush and ink
painting and calligraphy from a foundation in these traditions through the
Chinese Education he received as a child. Born in Human province, Southern
China, he began his training in art when he was five years old, displaying
early talent and winning school competitions for his painting and
calligraphic work.
David cites the beauty of his
childhood environment-the surrounding hills and mountains of his Hunan village-as having emerged as a significant
influence on his painting in David studied painting for three years at the National Normal University
there. His teachers included such prominent instructors as Huang Chun-pi,
Lin Yu-shan, Chang The-wen and Hu Nien-chu.
David participated in
numerous exhibitions in Taiwan,
and had work selected for exhibition by the National Art Museum.
He continues to return to Taiwan
regularly to show work there, and since the 1970’s also visits the United States to exhibit there at the
invitation of various cultural institutes and galleries including Gallery America
and the Minneapolis Oriental Institute. Whilst David has never considered
himself a “professional painter”, his works are widely represented in
museums and significant private collections.
Since retirement and settling
in Australia he has taken up the life of the Chinese scholar, practising
his calligraphy daily and painting for self-enlightenment, as well as for
friend as well as for friends.
The inherent grace of
the brush is apparent in these works which reflect both the robustness and
the fragility of nature, the elegance and the power of the written word –
strength and serenity combined in the practise of these time-honoured
artistic traditions.
