In Yan Ge’s works, we can also see a nostalgic form of Romanticism. The images he chooses are often reminiscent of Grecian classical figures, typically forming a surreal, theatrical-like setting, presenting a mythological classicism.

When we recall the meaning represented by the concept of ‘myth’, it is ‘an image meditated by the soul in relative tranquility, and also something passed down through generations, transforming with human evolution yet remaining eternal… It’s both static and boundless.’ It can be said that another aspect of Romanticism is to recreate myths from myths.
