Yehan's contemporary paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and North America. He immigrated to Canada from Shanghai, China in 1995.

To him, art is a partnership in design and color. He uses these aspects to create images in which the process takes precedent. Nothing is more exhilarating than spreading paint over the canvas with large, expressive strokes. He tends to work with Chinese characters & folk arts as an inspiration.

"Random Line" is the soul of his paintings.

He starts from the simplest way to reach the richest effects. His goal is to stay as close to the edge as possible---to keep that sense of organic happening, as if the painting had grown itself rather than having been crafted by him. Yet it is the artist's eye, which seeks to prevail--telling the hand to add that last brush stroke which makes it all happen.

He is inspired by many influential artists include particularly Miro Joan and Wassily Kandinsky. Both of these artists used energy in ways to change how we look at art. As his mature, more and more of his work reflect personal experience. From that experience He see himself striving to achieve his own sense of expression.
