WHY THIS? Episode 9: Jake Yang
<p>Jake Yang is a recent graduate of Adelaide Central School of Art, Kaurna Land, Adelaide. Yang’s practice explores various disciplines, notably painting, sculpture, drawing and photography. Yang’s practice is driven by the continual exploration youth culture in contemporary society, integrated with strong influence from his conservative traditional Chinese culture. Yang challenges the normative assumptions around identity through his exploration of existing within in three very different cultures at once (Chinese, Australian and contemporary cultures). His practice explores the evolving cross-section within himself. Yang’s practice explores contemporary ways of painting, through formal elements influenced by Traditional cultural artefacts and techniques as a way to connect with his neglected cultural identity growing up. In his series of work, he forefronts personal inner conflictions in his life, highlighting intimacy, privacy, freedom and rebellion. This inner struggle speaks to a double-life representation of façades and expectations that derive from conservative cultural upbringings.</p>
