Artwork Appreciation
CHEN Yen-Ping’s creation attempts to explore the feelings of the fading and rebirth of life as well as the process of self-reflection. The work, Field of Ruins in Silence, uses bleach as the medium, and through its erosive nature, creates traces of the corrosion. The abstract geometric shapes in the picture are derived from the world he creates from his observation of humans, architecture, and decorative symbols. The beads sewn on the canvas link together the emotions of a family handicraft industry as well as the illusory space of illusions and real materials. CHEN Yen-Ping creates a ruin that seems to be constructed through digital codes, transforming into a sleepwalker and walking in the illusion of the subconscious mind to guide viewers into a world of illusions.
