Taiwan artist paints to a classical beat

Yang Chihung, an artist from Taiwan, likes symphonies and he listens to them when he paints. His favorite musicians include Bach, Beethoven, Mahler and Shostakovich.

He weaves the rhythmic and metric features of music into abstract paintings with acrylics on canvas.

"I don't visualize music notes. What I want is to present the same energy, depth and blending of layers as that of music," he says at his solo exhibition at Asia Art Center's space in Beijing.
