Yang Yongliang Chinese, born 1980 Herding Horses, 2011 Giclee print on fine Art paper On loan from Yang Yongliang EL2026.26.2 Drawing on the long artistic tradition of imperial horse imagery, Yang Yongliang situates ancient-style herders and eight horses within a ruined contemporary landscape. What first appears like a classical panorama dissolves into collapsed earth, dead trees, abandoned cars, and mountains built from stacked high-rises and industrial structures. The ancient symbolism of the "Eight Steeds"-once associated with imperial virtue and talent recruitment-is hollowed out and reconfigured as a scene of cultural dislocation. The work exposes the impossibility of transplanting traditional ideals into a fractured modern environment, turning the noble horse into an emblem of displacement and loss.
