Parallel Space-Time Gymnast

作品賞析

CHANG Yu-Chia’s Parallel Space-Time Gymnast is an oil painting on a pine panel that portrays gymnastics and how it relates to various situations in life. A cross-shaped balancing beam is portrayed in the artwork, while a young, male gymnast stands at the intersection with a standard pose. Other young, male gymnasts are depicted in various poses at the respective ends of the beams. Gymnastics performance is graded by judges, just like many things in our daily lives where accomplishments could only be obtained with the acknowledgment of other people. CHANG Yu-Chia uses a humorous vocabulary to create a surreal depiction of the daily life of a young male gymnast and to convey various encounters in life that cannot be described with words.
