Yang Jen-Ming (Taiwan, b. 1962), born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, currently lives and works in Taipei. He holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts. His artistic practice has evolved through various stages. His early series, “Black Water” and “Intellectuals,” employed murky, chaotic, and heavy imagery to reflect the atmosphere of the times. In his mid-career series, “Unstable Connections,” he explored infinite possibilities through minimalist geometry, fragmentation, and layering. Yang views painting as a continuous process of contemplation, with the final moment of stopping his brush signifying a state of condensation. His recent works create meditative spaces, using subtle shifts in monochromatic tones to build blurred visual fields. At the lower edge of his canvases, he incorporates square formats as a rational cut, balancing emotional intensity with structured clarity, oscillating between dreamlike and realistic realms. Yang’s works are permanently collected by institutions such as National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.
Yang Jen-Ming centers his creative practice around symbolic language, exploring how thought manifests throughout the process of existence. His works are largely grounded in geometric vocabulary, refined through formal treatment to express a tension and balance between rationality and emotion. This formal exploration is not only evident in his compositions but also extends to his creative methods, which intertwine three-dimensional cutting with painting, reflecting a deep concern for the relationship between form and meaning. The work "Thoughts and Words: Back and Forth" presents the psychological journey of thought from inception to realization through abstract painting. The scattered composition and rhythm in the piece symbolize the movement and transformation of thoughts across different mental states, aiming to capture the fluid, interdependent relationship between thinking and action.
