Huang Zhiyang graduated from the Taipiei Chinese Cultural University in 1989 majoring in Chinese traditional ink painting. He is renowned for his ink and oil paintings of repetitive triangular organic shapes, a form he has employed in his works, from figurative scroll paintings, to the phallic sculptures shown in the Taiwan Pavilion at the 1995 Venice Biennale.

Huang’s triangular shapes are the artist’s absract expression of patterns found on leaves and in microscopic views of bacteria. They are likewise a reference to the texture stroke technique employed in ink landscape paintings, combining a traditional technique with contemporary aesthetic.
