Dynamic young artist Pei Yang was born in YangZhou, China in 1971. Pei began his art studies in high school and won a diverse range of prizes both in competitions and for his personal exhibitions. In 1994 Pei relocated to Canada and embarked on a Fine Art course at the Ottowa School of Art and then the Algonquin College in Ottowa.
Pei’s remarkable technical ability as a painter is complemented by his skillful manipulation of colour to create a luminous light that captivates the eye. His striking still lives, interiors and landscapes demonstrate his versatility, but although the genre is varied his style remains highly recognisable, and all his glowing compositions celebrate the medium of paint as well as his chosen subject.
Since 1989 Peis paintings have been exhibited in galleries and government buildings in Canada and China. He has also produced artwork for Columbia Studios and Dreamworks, and has won an Emmy award for his animation. Pei now lives and works in Montreal.
