ABOUT
Lawrence Yang is a Seattle-area artist whose ink and watercolor paintings move between atmospheric imagined worlds and playful character stories. Influenced by graffiti and traditional Chinese painting, he uses expressive line and color to give organic forms a sense of life. His work has been exhibited with Gallery1988, Giant Robot and Spoke Art, and appears in Crazy 4 Cult: Cult Movie Art 2 and Geek-Art: An Anthology.
