Returning to Hong Kong after his last major solo exhibition “Enlightened Blackness: Ink Paintings by Yang Jiechang” at the University Museum and Art Gallery, University of Hong Kong in 2001, the new solo show “Good Morning Hong Kong” at the Hong Kong Central Library will feature his most recent works. Through this exhibition, Yang wishes to bring positivity to Hong Kong, because he believes “we live in a time of conflict and unpredictable change, where feelings of insecurity and disorientation prevail”.
