Artwork Appreciation
HSIEH Chi-Chang’s Travel Writing series is a collection of works based upon rapid sketches and graffiti that were then incorporated with subconscious visual imageries to investigate links between abstract forms and innermost desires. Travel Writing 03 employed a range of coffee color tones as the background, creating wide, white-colored brush strokes that were repeatedly applied and overlapped with black color patches to create four-sided blocks. HSIEH Chi-Chang employs spontaneous brushstrokes to present the development of time and distance, transforming the rich yet fleeting sensations experienced during his trips into an abstract study of the spiritual self.
