Yang (Andrew) Heng

YANG (Andrew) Heng is a painter and educator based in Canada. He currently serves as the Vice Principal of SA Institute of Montreal and is a board member of the Atlantic Centre for Creativity (ACC). He received formal art training in China and has taught art at the post-secondary level for many years.

His artistic practice bridges traditional techniques and contemporary approaches, focusing on land-scape, nature, and multicultural experience. His works explore the emotional and visual tension between wildness and tranquility, shaped by his engagement with the natural environment. His artworks have been exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Asia.

Yang's work draws primarily from the natural landscapes of Canada's East Coast and Quebec, developed through on-site observation and reflective reworking. His paintings continuously record changes in light, season, and terrain, focusing on moments such as early spring thaw, summer lake bays, coastal edges, and the quiet margins of urban space-scenes that are ordinary yet charged with perceptual tension. Through loose, rhythmically driven brushwork, he translates clarity, warmth, and movement found in nature into layered chromatic structures imbued with emotional resonance. Moving fluidly between representation and abstraction, his practice emphasizes the rhythm
