Little Hall, Hamilton, NY 13346, USA
Yang Hongwei lives and works in Beijing based at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He earned his PhD at CAFA in 2015, studying under the mentorship of renowned artist Xu Bing. Over the past 10 years, Yang has been extending and expanding the vocabulary of woodcut and wood engraving printmaking through his Pixel Analysis Project, which combines Chinese and Western traditional wood engraving techniques with the principles of analog movable type and digital dot-matrix display technology. For the Pixel Analysis Project, Yang has hand carved over 100,000 pearwood “pixel modules” of various sizes, colors, and shading – a finite set of elements able to generate infinite sets of images. Yang has exhibited at galleries and museums all over China.
