DONG YANG Dong Yang was born in Tianjin, China and moved to Los Angeles in 2022. Although he is an experienced, multi-talented artist, he is new to the American scene. His work, both monumental and table-top sculpture and paintings, depict a variety of subjects including animals, people, and abstract artworks. Yang’s fascination with animals and artistic talent began as a youth who closely observed horses, bulls, and birds, and admired his grandfather’s collection of European sculptures and photographs. These inspired him to make little models of animals out of plasticine. As a young man, Yang attended the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts and after graduating in 1990 enrolled in the Central Academy of Arts in Beijing for training. The head of the sculpture department then was the famous artist Mr. Qian Shao Wu. Recognizing Yang’s extraordinary talent, he appointed Yang as his assistant and they collaborated on many projects together for over 8 years. In 1996, Yang moved to Shanghai and his career began to take off. His first notable commission was the sculpture “Happy Family” located at the entrance of East Nanjing Road, one of the busiest pedestrian roads in Shanghai. Important works Yang created during these years were the pair of lions in front of the HSBC Bank, and the sculptures “Clock” and “Equestrian - Beyond,” both of which are located in Shanghai’s 80,000-seat stadium. Since 2008, Yang has created over 100 shelf sculptures and commissions for sculptures in iconic 60 His Majesty-Storm, 24x36, Oil on Canvas
DONG YANG locations in many cities. These sculptures have been exhibited throughout China and around the world and have garnered him numerous awards. Some of his on-shelf sculptures won first or the second place in a variety of domestic and international exhibitions. One work is “Fortune,” created in 2009, which was exhibited in the 86th Salon de Antonio Timeless, 16x10x7, Bronze Grace, 25x20x5, Bronze in Madrid in 2019. Sculpture “Whisky” won second place in the animal category at the 16th National Portrait Society in 2020. And the sculpture “Afar” won first place in the American Art Award; it also won honorable mention at the Professional League of America Artists; he was invited to Florence Biennale 2021. Over the course of his career, Yang has developed his own style that integrates Western sculptural language with Eastern humanistic qualities. Yang’s sculptures reflect his worldview towards life and nature. 61
