Vitality All Around from the Past to the Future

作品賞析

CHENG Chien-Chang supports the spirit of gaining first-hand experience from everyday life regarding issues related to the soil and the environment, using a unique artistic style to convey his love and concern for the land, culture, and natural landscapes of Taiwan. Vitality All Around from the Past to the Future is an attempt to convey the boundless sources of life throughout history. The character depicted in the composition is tightly bound to a massive block that appears like a human body and a mountain at the same time. The block serves as a metaphor for ancient history and the spirit it represents. The green, human-shaped tubers of a plant, on the other hand, represent boundless vitality. CHENG Chien-Chang uses trees, rocks, and soil that go beyond figurative elements in an attempt to convey challenges and trials experienced by life and to convey his deep emotional ties with the land and its people.
