Printmaker Chung-Ming Yang

Chung-Ming Yang is a leading Taiwanese printmaker whose work expands the expressive boundaries of the medium. Educated at the National Taichung University of Education (BFA, 1998) and Tainan National University of the Arts (MFA, 2001), he founded the 324 Print Studio in 2003 as both a creative and pedagogical platform for advancing printmaking in Taiwan. Yang’s practice centres on time, material, and the quiet resonance of form. Working across printmaking, painting, and installation, he approaches technique as a vehicle for thought and emotion rather than mere craftsmanship. His use of handmade paper, fibre structures, and botanical materials reflects a deep sensitivity to process and the passage of time.

Yang’s art has been exhibited widely in Taiwan and abroad, with major solo exhibitions at Gallery de Sol in Taipei and presentations in Europe and Japan. His works are held in prominent collections, including the National Palace Museum in Taipei, where he is the only contemporary printmaker represented. Through a meticulous, meditative approach, Yang reimagines printmaking as a dialogue between material and spirit. His quiet, reflective works bridge traditional craftsmanship and contemporary sensibility, embodying a distinctly Taiwanese vision of time, memory, and making.

Her work has been consistently recognised both internationally and within Taiwan’s fibre art community.
