Rock-themed paintings

Female artist Wu Yang embraces a style similar to Super-Realism in her oil paintings. She creates illusive images, such as the extensive land, distant mountains and boundless seashore, and among them as the center of her works are rocks. The cold, hard rocks, either piling up on the beach or floating in mid-air, are wrapped by delicate, soft clothing in a variety of colors and patterns. Her current solo exhibition displays these rock-themed paintings, sculptures and videos, in which she blended her life in Canada and past experiences as a cotton print designer and later, fashion designer.
