Eugene Yang was born in China and
has received training in art since middle school. He has a master in Education
of Fine Art and has taught at schools until he moved to the United States. He has
created an oil painting daily of contemporary still life since 2008. These
paintings are quite small, no bigger than 11” X 14” canvases. About two
thousand of these paintings have been sold all over the world to various
collectors. His still life paintings consist of food in an isolated setting.
Yang’s goal is to capture lighting and beauty in simplicity of everyday objects
he observes.
I find his artwork inspiring
because there are such beautiful details in such tiny, simple works. I love how
he explores different ways to paint an object. For example, when we think of an
orange we think of it whole but he has painted it peeled or sliced in half,
creating something more interesting to look at. His use of color in order to
create unity between the objects is wonderful. I also love his style too
because it isn’t super realistic, it’s more painterly.
