Yang Jianyong | Mountain, Unseen

Mountain, Unseen is Yang Jianyong’s first exhibition in Australia. Known for pioneering the language of “Song Painting Deconstruction,” Yang draws inspiration from Song-dynasty masters while reinterpreting their spatial structures and philosophical principles through a contemporary lens.

In his recent work, the “mountain” is no longer a physical topography but a landscape shaped by perception and memory. Using translucent washes of pigment, Yang creates scenes where forms appear light and atmospheric, inviting viewers to slow down, observe closely, and consider how landscape can be felt as much as it is seen.

《空山》是杨建勇在澳大利亚的首次个展。他以开创“宋画解构”的技法而闻名，从宋代名师之处汲取灵感，并以当代的视角重新诠释其空间结构与哲思道法。

在他最近的作品中，“山”不再只是地貌的形体，而是一种由感知与记忆共同塑造的景象。用半透明颜料的反复渲染，艺术家创造出形象轻盈朦胧的场景，以此邀请观众放慢脚步、静心凝望，并在观看的过程里体会山水如何被“感知”，而非单纯被“看见”。
