Yang Shan-Shen
is one of the most representative artists of the second generation of the
Lingnan School of Painting. Specialized in bird and flower, figure,
landscape painting and excelled in calligraphy, he is open-minded to adopt
the strength of archaic and modern, the Eastern and Western painting
techniques. His paintings are therefore considered not entirely conformed to
the original direction of the School. He establishes his own style by the
application of dry textural strokes.
