      杨先生，来自美丽的中国山东海滨城市青岛，是一位勤恳耕耘的书画家。杨先生童年始学习诗书画，研修汉字的真草隶篆各种书体。中学时期，他先后拜了几位名师，学习西画、国画、楹联学和古诗词，打下了坚实的国学基础。杨先生对书画艺术的热爱扎根于博大精深的中华文化土壤里，其写意花鸟山水画中的一木一石，翎毛花卉，都反映出画家对生活的认知和感情。杨先生的画有的优雅婉约，有的热情豪放，既融汇了西画写实之长，又发挥了国画写意之妙。画家的思绪情感寄托期间，意境脱俗，清新扑面。经过众多名师指点，古人作品的临摹借鉴，再加上自己几十年如一日的刻苦磨练， 杨先生形成了自己的风格特点。他用古朴苍劲，洒脱飘逸的笔触将大自然的花鸟山水，生活中的情趣百态刻画得淋漓尽致。借用“外枯中膏，质而实绮”来形容他的画风恰到好处：古拙的外形流露出厚重的质地和耐人寻味的内涵，画面的整体灵动和绮丽跃然纸上。
      杨先生从事艺术设计，美术创作多年，硕果累累成绩斐然。他的诗书画印作品曾多次发表在国内的各级出版物上，并有众多作品参展获奖。。如今，杨先生同家人一起长居北美，雄浑瑰丽的落基山脉赋予了画家新的灵感，他将用他的诗书画印染尽情描绘大自然的无限美景，记录下人间的动人时刻，抒发他对生活的感悟和热爱。
      杨先生在卡尔加里“中加文教协会中文学校、卡城华人文化社等开设国书画班，传授国画技艺。并多次画展，受到中外艺术家与艺术爱好者的好平、肯定并收藏。 杨先生还积极参与当地华人社团的文化活动，为弘扬中华文化孜孜不倦，笔耕不辍。其信条：一个中国书画家应诗书画印齐铭。
      Mr. Fengju Yang, a Chinese artist, was born in 1938 in Qingdao, a picturesque coastal city of Shandong Provice, China. At six, he first became immersed in poetry, calligraphy and painting of Chinese heritage. During his high school time, he was introduced to some adepts, who provided him with private instructions to both traditional Chinese painting and western art.
      Through nearly 50 years of practice, Yang has developed his own distinctive style. Many of his admirers say that his paintings glow with a natural light. Tremendous richness is conveyed through the form of simplicity. He interprets natural reflections in the masters’ tradition through glazing techniques that integrate the prime of western art into Chinese heritage. Flowers, birds and landscapes inspire the images captured either in oils or in inks.
      Yang’s art works can be found in private collections, reputable prints and exhibitions, which have aroused significant repercussions not only in China but also across Asia. Among tons of his paintings, “Five Happy Birds in Spring” was honored the award of excellence by Chinese Culture Association and collected in Chinese Famous Artists’ Works and Contemporary Chinese Painting Collections. “The Coming of Spring” has been collected in the World Catalog of Chinese Artists.
       Today, Yang lives in Calgary, Canada with his family. The wondrous Rockies and southwest setting provides the inspiration and opportunity to capture the images of western setting through his Chinese brushstroke. Yang considers a real Chinese artist is one who masters all forms of Chinese artistic expression including painting, handwriting, seal cutting and poetry. He is on an endless quest, bringing life and the spirit of Chinese culture to the two-dimensional painted.
