After an incredibly successful Fringe season, including an Adelaide Fringe Cultural Diversity Award, Jake Yang will be at the Nexus Arts Gallery for an artist talk on the final day of his exhibition.
Jake Yang’s art practice explores queer youth culture and the way it sits alongside and intersects with his cultural background, raised in a conservative traditional Chinese culture. In Yang’s work privacy, intimacy, care, and freedom are celebrated in lush, safe natural environments.
In this solo exhibition Yang uses painting and textile sculpture to explore the glorified and fierce Asian figure, and the process of neglect, acceptance, and celebration of culture reflected in his relationship with identity.
Come along to hear personal stories, gain insight into techniques, and deepen your understanding of the exhibited works.
