Wild Broken Cursive (2020–present)

Recently Yahon Chang has created a radically expressive style that he calls Wild Broken Cursive script, for the broken brush tips resulting from the energy directed through the brush to paper. Wild Cursive script dates to China’s Tang dynasty (618–907). Antithetical to the balance valued in other scripts, it was nevertheless recognized as something remarkable, and Chang’s Wild Broken Cursive marks
a step beyond the historical script. As he has aged, Chang’s power has grown, and he invests that great power into his calligraphic works: recent dynamic compositions are created through a discharge of explosive expressive bursts. Since August 2020, Chang has contrived to produce small-scale works containing the power of his large-scale calligraphy, with dramatic results.
