In 2019, he graduated from the Sculpture Department of Hubei Institute of Fine Arts with a master's degree.
Fang Yang's creations are rooted in the current social landscape, and his ongoing interest lies in observing and reflecting on daily life and the surrounding environment. He utilizes concise forms and readily available materials to find relatively free expressions within limitations. Land, plants, buildings, and everyday objects gradually become spiritual symbols in his creative practice. He uses them to record stories from the past and present, transforming them into works of art.
Fang Yang has participated in numerous exhibitions, including the "2nd Suzhou Sculpture Exhibition," "Growth - Young Artists Invitational Exhibition," "2nd Donghu International Eco-Sculpture Biennale," "City of Light: Shanghai Contemporary Sculpture and Installation Art Expo," and the "3rd Hubei Youth Sculpture Biennale." He has received several prestigious awards, such as the finalist award of the 11th "Tomorrow Sculpture Award," the Excellence Award at the "Praise the New Era - Hubei Youth Art Exhibition and Contemporary Trendy Art Exhibition," the first K11 Emerging Art Creation Award, and the finalist award for the annual SAP (China) Iconic Style Art Award. His works are collected by He Art Museum, Zhi Art Space, and various private collectors.
