Chang-Ling's world of flesh
-Flesh, Source, Smile

Chang-Ling was born in Hualien City in 1975. During his childhood he was greatly influenced by his father Yang Wei-Chung and was educated in close contact with the arts. He began his first exhibition at the Hualien Cultural Center (a joint exhibition of Yang Wei-Chung and Yang Chang-Ling) in 1996. In the same year he was admitted to the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Bourges and then got the D.N.A.P (BAC+3) degree in 2000. And he entered Ecole Nationale Superieure Beaux-Art de Paris in the very year, studied under Christian Boltanski, Jean-Luc Vilmouth and Jean-Marc Bustamante, then got the D.N.S.A.P (BAC+5) degree in 2004. During his sojourn in France Chang-Ling became interested in the difference between social systems and structures in the east and the west and he engaged in artistic creations from the angle of art. His art works such as Political Flowering, I Love Nature Chicken and Upper Class Practicing Device, etc show his interpretation of serious social issues with unique humor.

Since 2001 Chang-Ling has held exhibitions in Europe and America and won first prizes at MontrougeYouth Artists Salon in photography ...
