Born in 1953 in Changhua, Taiwan, Yang studied painting at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei. He co-founded several artists groups linked to the Transavantgarde movement in Taiwan: 101 and the Taipei Group in the 1980s, and Hantooshe in the late 1990s. He is chiefly known for his politically charged paintings of the 1980´s, and his decade-long investigation into the political, the historical and cultural aspects of Taiwanese identity during the 1990s. After the turn of the millennium he started to explore sculpture, blending buddhist iconology with manga icons. Beyond numerous museum shows in Taiwan and Asia, he participated three times at the Venice Biennale: in 1999 he took part in the collateral event VOC- Handle with Care, in 2009 he staged his solo show Temple of Sublime Beauty, Made in Taiwan and in 2011 he participated at Future Pass.
