• Exhibited artist: Chang Tsui-Jung

From traditional ink painting to contemporary art, Chang Tsui-Jung makes a departure from the early traditions of sketching after accepting the baptism of Western culture. Based on figurative forms, she uses symbolic imagery of plants and animals extensively to convey perceptions of secular phenomenon and stir inner emotions. Anthropomorphic imagery and conditions draw viewers into an imaginary and unrestrained space. Through this approach, one sees her conduct an even more in-depth and restrained interpretation.

In her contemporary surrealist paintings, Chang still brings a hint of the delicate brushwork common to Eastern ink and brush renderings, blending objects that are struggling to transform. Each painting comprises a “themed set of paintings” that is regulated by a system, and allows people to experience an abundant creative energy. The co-existence of form and meaning “comes from the heart and stems from the will,” signifying that Chang’s creative works are ready to hit yet another milestone.
