Liang Ying currently serves as the Chairperson of the Yan Huang Art Museum. She studied at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (University of Fine Arts of Hamburg). She has held touring exhibitions in Germany, the UK, Finland, and Hong Kong, China, as well as solo exhibitions at the Suzhou Museum, the Long Museum in Shanghai, and the Aurora Museum. Her works are held in the collections of renowned art institutions and private collectors both in China and abroad, and have been presented as gifts to the Chinese Consulate in Germany.

As a pioneering female artist in Chinese contemporary art, Liang Ying was one of the earliest group of artists who studied in Germany in the 1980s. She is also one of the first established Chinese artists who forgo oil painting in order to focus on ink painting. Whether it is her early series “Diary Liang Ying”, which depicted modern women in urban settings, or her recent series “Immortals and Legends,” Liang Ying has always innovatively combined the compositional elements and contents of German Neo-Expressionism with the brushwork and subject matters of traditional Chinese Painting, transforming them into myriad phenomenal artworks.In these works, she merges concepts, narrative, and painterly expression in one entity. Like many Chinese artists in the 20th century, Liang Ying devotes herself to exploring the possibility of ink painting, hoping to prove to the world that ink painting is still a vital component of today’s contemporary art world.
