Yang Yongliang | Parallel Metropolis

View through Artsy
'Parallel Metropolis' is the result of the artist’s close observations of New York City, for the first time as a resident. Once a dreamland, it is now a second home to the Shanghai-born artist after relocating to the sprawling city five years ago. On arrival in the dense urban megalopolis, Yang’s compulsive inclination to translate his immediate environment into altered reality landscapes was met by a need to quietly consider the city he now calls home, in a country that calls him migrant.
