Read Full Biography +
Andrew Yang is a Canadian-based visual artist, photographer, and curator whose practice is shaped by landscape, movement, and cross-cultural experience. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and has developed a multidisciplinary practice across painting, photography, and curatorial projects.
Andrew’s paintings are rooted in landscape, but they are not simply descriptive. His work often moves between realism and abstraction, combining expressive brushwork, layered color, and atmospheric light to create scenes that feel both observed and imagined. Through shifting skies, open horizons, seasonal changes, and quiet natural forms, his paintings explore the emotional rhythm of nature and the subtle tension between stillness and energy.
A lifelong explorer of the natural world, Andrew is also an experienced mountaineer and certified ski instructor. His experiences in remote mountains and high-altitude landscapes have influenced the way he approaches nature — not as a distant subject, but as something physically felt and emotionally lived. This direct relationship with the natural world gives his work a distinctive sense of scale, atmosphere, and inner movement.
In addition to his studio practice, Andrew is active as a curator and cultural organizer. He has contributed to cross-cultural exhibitions, community art initiatives, and creative workshops in Canada, with a focus on bringing artists, audiences, and diverse cultural perspectives into meaningful dialogue. Through his work, Andrew continues to explore art as a bridge between landscape and memory, personal experience and shared space, tradition and contemporary visual expression.
