Earth Roots

Ink Studio, Beijing

10.06.2017 — 12.08.2017

NK studio is proud to present Earth Roots, the first systematic survey of internationally renowned artist Yang Jiechang's One Hundred Layers of Ink series. A stunning statement in its inception in 1989, the series has been highly influential to the development of contemporary Chinese art, anticipating now-commonplace strategies like repetition, inarticulacy, traceless action, and manipulations of monumentality. Earth Roots delves into the foundations of One Hundred Layers of Ink in Yang's calligraphy and early abstractions, and traces its multifaceted evolution through the late 1980's and 1990's. Curated by Artistic Director Britta Erickson with the assistance of Alan Yeung, the exhibition runs from June 10 through August 12, 2017.
