Intricate Digital Collage Turns Chinese Landscape Into Sprawling Wonderland

These 'shan shui'-inspired photo-collages by Yang Yongliang immerse the spectator in a landscape of unchecked, organic urban sprawl.

Neither stranger to creating wonderment nor to The Creators Project, Chinese artist Yang Yongliang has constructed a new series of digitally-manipulated photographic collages that include sprawling urban landscapes embedded in shan shui-esque terrain.

From the New World, Yongliang's newest collage is so large and intricate, the 13' x 26' Ultragiclee print stretches the effective length of an extra-large Uhaul moving truck. It's a massive feat of digital manipulation, albeit one not unusual for Yongliang's practice.
