Snapline H., created by Hung Yao, is a giant step forward for modern art, reveling in courage, wisdom, and innovation. Inspired by Minimalism, Geometric Abstract Art, Constructivism and Dutch School, Hung Yao skillfully transforms traditional Chinese paintings into abstract art.

The concept of snapline, originated from Chinese carpentry techniques over two thousand years ago, has been applied by Hung Yao since 1977. It has successfully become a yardstick in the art world. The waves he cast command determination and concentration, are full of wisdom and passion, and simultaneously conjure solemnity and romance. The art of Snapline by Hung Yao embodies the Chinese philosophy of Ying and Yang with the implied re-awakening of the western aesthetics.

Hung Yao’s work expresses aesthetic appeal through the concepts of coexistence and harmony. Intertwining the realism with the abstract, Hung’s art depicts the beauty of nature and various aspects of life. As a bridge between the East and the West, Snapline H. enlightens the restoration of art beyond boundaries.
