Perception with Concern

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. Perception with Concern shows two individuals poking their heads and squinting their eyes as they focus on the tender shoots sprouting from the sweet potato. The sweet potato symbolizes Taiwan, while the shoots represent opportunity and life. The loving and caring gaze of the two individuals harbor hopes for the healthy growth of the land. CHENG Chien-Chang uses a rustic and powerful style to create works that contemplate personal identity from a political and historical perspective, convey the hardworking, honest, and straight forward characteristics of the Taiwanese people, and share his deep emotional ties with the land and its denizens.
