This is a sketch of the street view of  a place that around 1770 S. William Street, Denver.

Reflection (04/16/2013) – Zhicheng Yang

I made this painting only by black ink. I got this idea when I saw my reflection on the surface of the head part of an long lamp. I thought it was pretty interesting and I decided to make an artwork of this moment.

Heart (05/23/2013) – Zhicheng Yang

For this project, I would like to show an idea of humanity that I understand personally. I mainly focus on two-point perspective to create this artwork. In this art piece, the structure of blue represent “Pure”,  the structure of red represent “Hope”, and the dark structure represent “Darkness”. I want to show an idea that even people have some “Darkness” parts somewhere inside the hearts of themselves, “Pure” and “Hope” are important elements that surround the darkness, and provide human from evil in maybe different kind of ways.

 

 

Chimera (02/10/2014) – Zhicheng Yang

At the beginning of thinking the idea of this artwork, I would like to create another version of a “Medusa”- a monster in Greek mythology. However, after I did some researches I found that Medusa was not a monster with aesthetic beauty. So I redo the research of Chimera- A combination of different monsters. Finally I decided to use body of a snack, body of a human, and a wings from raven for my artwork. The story for this Chimera is that: with the fast improvement of science, after maybe hundreds of years, genes of different species may combine, and new species may exist on Earth.
