Coffee Shop

作品賞析

CHANG Ching-Wen uses glue painting to depict urban spaces in order to express the isolation and helplessness of modern life. Coffee Shop depicts a road side cafe using whitish and subsumed shades. Tables and chairs are neatly arranged, while the French windows reflect the bustling street scene outside. Contrasted against this busy street scene is the completely deserted cafe, awkwardly silent and quiet. CHANG Ching-Wen believes that coffee shop are transient locations that people go through in their lives. By illustrating these temporary sanctities, CHANG Ching-Wen hopes to bring our focus to the isolation, separation, and mode of interactions between individuals living in the modern society.
