New Media Chinese Art from Yang Yongliang

How do you update an ancient art tradition? With Photoshop, of course. New media artist Yang Yongliang was classically trained in Chinese painting and calligraphy from a very young age but uses digital tools to capture that time-tested aesthetic. View the amazing results in the video above.

Shanghai-based artist Yang Yongliang has taken the eyes and heart of the more traditional Chinese landscape and calligraphy, and invested it with the expressive ability of the newest technology and techniques, including digital manipulation, video and photography.

"As long as the characteristics don't change, the media you use to express the art doesn't matter."

​I think these landscapes in Chinese Porcelain are pretty amazing, and I am absolutely in love with the video landscapes.
