TEXTS FOR CATALOGUES OF 2004 AND 2008

SIMPLE SHAPES

Transparent Tanya Yang in antique clothes.Fragile, beating, with a radiant smile, graceful and mobile.He likes to drive a car, over potholes, without slowing down.It's all so airy, it almost doesn't touch the ground.But when he takes up the brush, where does it all go?The hardness of the hand, the density, and the air is material, no semitones, understatement – clarity. At the same time, everything is given for a reason. The result of a struggle with space, multiple drastic changes, a wall-to-wall battle. It's worth a lot.Static and completeness, condensation of matter. The sky is as thick as a mud wall. Egypt is solved with two or three colors, two or three objects.The sun, sand, and fruits are a gift from the gods.

Stand in silence all around: we consecrate the fields and the harvest.A ceremonious rite, bequeathed to you from ancient times.

The ancient theater of objects, clear simple forms, majorness.Grapes, pomegranates, figs. Affirmation of the fullness of life, forced matter.

Gray, oh, Hope, me and heaps of rash harvest me, Full bowls of ley wort of thick wine. (Albius Tibullus)

NATURE – SIGN – ORNAMENT

Tanya Yan is light, sometimes antique, sometimes watercolor with a radiant smile, so powerful and fierce in her work – daring.Her tables, fish, pomegranates, figs, flowers represent the solemn, sublime meaning of the subject. Fragments of the ornament, emerging parts of the fresco, gestures – everything is symbolic. She talks about all this only the way she wants to – dazzlingly, majorly, large.The attack on the viewer, originating from the canvas, is the delight of the artist herself from what she saw.
