Artwork Appreciation
CHEN Chien-Jung often uses the structural features and outlines of modern architecture as the expressive elements of his paintings. Landscape 105 uses an architectural space as an element to create a 2-dimensional world. Corrected pencil trails and markings highlight the structural features of the composition, giving off a strong sense of incompletion and uncertainty. Rigid lines and color blocks with different expressions of color and brushstroke such as smudges and drips create a unique geometry and abstract aesthetic. CHEN Chien-Jung uses collaging, anachronistic positioning, and reproduced elements to create a seemingly perfect area that is in fact filled with variability. Every still space and moment is actually filled with potential for unlimited changes.
