Yang Yongliang’s new series of works "The Peach Colony" is inspired by the ancient legend of Wuling the fisherman, who discovers a valley inhabited by a group of people who had escaped Tsin Shihe Huang’s tyranny. Yang's photogrpahic technique incorporates a multiute of small photographs of Urban life - from buildings, towers, factories and bridges; elements that are embedded within an ancient Chinese mythical lanscape. Yang transports the viewer into a fascinating dream world. His characters float in an unreal landscape.

Having studied traditional art with the renamed artist Yang Yang; Yang Yongliang takes a new direction with classical Chinese art. Yang's works revisits calligraphy and traditional ink painting, using modern digital photography and computer technology. Yang's work is a marriage of both ancient China and the China of the future.
