NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of Leonard Yang in the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition. The exhibition opens on August 19, 2017, and runs through August 30, 2017, with an opening reception on Saturday, August 19, from 6-8 pm.
Leonard Yang, a Singaporean artist currently residing in New York, is set to feature his unique photographic works at the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition. Inspired by the unpredictable and often sudden weather changes in Singapore, Yang manipulates his location photographs to reflect these dynamic weather patterns. By altering hues and tones, he creates visual representations that pay homage to the sudden rain showers and the purple-hued skies that often blanket the city.
Yang's work is a tribute to the fast-paced yet beautifully captivating moments of Singapore. His photographs capture the essence of the city’s weather, from the sudden downpours to the particulate-laden skies. This series is a testament to his ability to find beauty in the everyday and the unexpected.
Leonard Yang will be pursuing a Master's in Fine Art at Parsons School of Design starting in the Fall of 2017. His academic journey is expected to further refine his artistic skills and expand his creative horizons.
The exhibition will also feature works from a diverse group of artists, including:
