Artwork Appreciation
CHEN Wei-Ming’s Colored Language Image-4 is a series of artwork that represents an attempt to explore the spatial framework and spirituality of abstract paintings. The seven musical notes were used as the creative element to generate varying degrees of colors and opacity. Horizontal and vertical color blocks were assembled with speedy brushstrokes and clear-cut lines to build the formative elements shown on the canvas. The symbols that represent plants crisscross the composition to disassemble the abstract color blocks. The final artwork serves as a metaphor of the isolation experienced by urban dwellers. CHEN Wei-Ming uses unique brushstroke techniques as a metaphor for our disturbed sub-consciousness.
