This book showcases some of the themes and works of Shanghai-based Chinese artist Yang Yongliang. Using digital technology and photography, Yang incorporates visual elements of the modern urban city into compositions that resemble traditional Chinese literati ink paintings, with mountains made up from thousands of skyscrapers and roads of highways, often resulting into some surrealist works. Developing along the theme of the city, he also makes miniature sculptures of a city built on traditional object, for example a Greek pedestal. To this he attempts to deconstruct the binary between the traditional and the modern.

Includes a biography of the artist.
