STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擳he unique paintings and drawings of Jingshuo Yang are on display at 海角社区 through Feb. 6.
Titled 鈥淚nsight,鈥 the art department-sponsored exhibit is located in the Colvard Student Union Fine Art Gallery. To honor Yang, a reception will be held Tuesday [Jan. 26] from 5-6:30 p.m. on the second floor of the Union. Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
A Starkville resident, Yang received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou in 2008. In 2011, she received a Master of Fine Arts from the renowned Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. As a student, Yang won an 鈥淥utstanding Award鈥 at the International Student Championship in Hangzhou. Additionally, she was awarded both a First Prize Undergraduate Scholarship and a National Graduate Scholarship.
Yang attributes her initial interest in art to the natural beauty she observed growing up in China鈥檚 countryside. Such observations continue to inspire her to explore the fascinating relationship between nature and humankind through her exquisite drawings and paintings. Yang鈥檚 works represent both traditional and modern artistic styles, which transform her pieces into powerful, yet delicate works of art.
As a professional artist, Yang enjoys teaching workshops and working with art students, some of whom have been MSU art majors. She also is a member of the Starkville Area Arts Council. 鈥淚nsight鈥 is her first one-person exhibit.
