Introduction
"Beside the Mountain, There Lies Immortality (Ink Flow)" by Yang Min-Lang is an acrylic masterpiece that transitions from realistic portraiture to poetic landscape, marking a significant phase in his artistic trajectory. The painting employs a rich layering of hues and rugged strokes to mimic the heavy texture of cement, reminiscent of a mason's vigorous application. By reinterpreting traditional materials, Yang breaks the conventional boundaries of ink painting, ushering the viewer into a tranquil, yet profound natural realm. This work not only reflects Yang's deep appreciation for natural beauty but also his bold innovation in material usage.
