Silence

作品賞析

CHIANG Chin-Lan is skilled in using Western art media to portray intimate details of Eastern philosophy and its broad humanist approaches. Silence employs the color pink as the basic underlying tone against which subsumed and formless shades of black, gray, and white are overlapped to generate a rational atmosphere integrated with emotional elements. The artist has transformed these colors into abstract blocks arrayed horizontally atop the image and created multi-layered textures to avoid generating a monotonous image. The horizontal and stable composition offers a serene sensation of emptiness and spiritual attainment, manifesting desires for attaining life’s accomplishments and detachment from the chaotic and superficialities of mortal life. CHIANG Chin-Lan has made use of this interesting block montage with elegant colors as well as calligraphic lines of energy and beauty, leading viewers beyond the figurative world and into the realms of abstract art.
