Tom Reno Art

American, b. 1948
Tom Reno is an abstract artist originally from Southern California who now resides in New Mexico. He is the paragon of a free-spirited artist who lives much of his life as a nomad traveling across the United States. Reno's spirituality and life philosophy are integral to his creative process. He describes his paintings as “destinations in your mind." Reno was born in Hollywood in 1948 and grew up in California's San Fernando Valley. He was a creative child and often made art, but never with the expectation of one day becoming an artist. After he completed high school, he served for three years in the United States Army in Vietnam— an experience which he ironically referred to as “enlightening.” Reno's time in the military gave him a renewed appreciation for life and freedom. He sought to live life entirely on his own terms from then on. The day he left the military, he tore off his shirt, jumped in his car, and drove straight to Denver to ski with his friends. The fervor for living life to the fullest hasn't left him to this day. Before Reno became a professional artist, he was a sign painter for many years. Sign painting was, what he called, a “freedom job". He could make a living while traveling around the United States, free of bosses and obligations. He found businesses looking to have their old signs restored and, and he offered to paint them. He felt satisfaction with “becoming a little part of each town." Reno's goal for painting is to "tap into the energy of the moment". He starts by looking at a canvas and waiting patiently for inspiration. Suddenly, he sees a color combination or compositional pattern and begins working. “It’s almost like a place in your mind that you go that you can’t describe." Reno’s opinion is that abstract art is a pure form of expression and an energetic practice. He believes excellence in abstract art is a function of life experience rather than technical knowledge. When asked about whether he received any formal training, he responded “I'm not really a formal training kind of guy.” Reno describes his art as the antithesis to his work as a sign painter. Sign painting is repetitive and highly controlled. Conversely, abstract paintings are spontaneous and physical like a dance. He draws an analogy to life, and describes: "Paintings encapsulate a mini lifetime on each canvas: there's the rush of starting- some things work, and others don't, and in the end it all seems to be about perseverance."

Yang Chi-hung was born on 25 October 1947, in Chungli, Taiwan. He developed an interest in art in early childhood, and found inspirations to pursue an artist career after reading Lust for Life – The Life of Vincent van Gogh, translated by poet Yu Kuang-chung, in junior high school. Between 1965 and 1968, he attended the National Taiwan College of Art, developing a sound foundation in oil painting under the tutelage of famous Taiwanese artists of the Japanese Colonial period, such as Liao Chi-chun, Li Mei-shu and Yang San-lang. Meanwhile, he actively attended events organized by the modern art groups of Taiwan, namely the Fifth Moon Group and Ton Fan Group, only to find himself both intimidated and dissatisfied with the then relatively conservative art environment in Taiwan. In 1979, he emigrated to the United States of America with his wife, Jane, and their son, Daniel. His pioneering works soon landed him the “Outstanding Asian-American Artist” award. The concept and style of abstract expressionism as represented by the works of Jackson Pollock in the 1950s had great impact on Yang’s work. With the sense of nihilism that gave rise to abstract expressionism in the post-war period, artists no longer clamored to depict the external environment, but rather chose to focus on their own inner experience. Yang Chihung embraced this spirit about the early 1990s when his style turned abstract. In 1984–85 and again in 1985–86, he was twice awarded a year's residency at The Clocktower Studio in New York City by MoMA P.S.1. In 2013, Yang, along with Xu Bing, Zhang Huan, and Li Chen, were the four artists featured in the Discovery Channel Asia documentary series, Chineseness, a multi-series production that focused on postwar Chinese contemporary artists. He is of the generation of artists such as Chen Tingshi, Liang Yifeng, Yang Yuyu, Pang Jiun, Yinhui Chen, Jui-Ling Hung, De-Jinn Shiy, Yong-ik Cho, Wan Chuan Chang, Kuosung Liu, Sanlang Yang, Chetsai Shen, Fu-sheng Ku, Chunxiang Zhao, Ming Ju, Ming-Che Huang, Jiutong Liu, In-Ting Ran, George Chann, Yi Hong, Tzu-Chi Yeh, Max Liu, Yi-Hsiung Chang, Che Chuang Awards and recognition 1989, Outstanding Asian American Artist Award, by Governor of New York 1984–1986, MoMA P.S.1 National Studio Program, Residency at Clocktower Studio, New York SELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS 1969 Contemporary Young Artists Exhibition, U.
