Artwork Appreciation
HSIEH Chi-Chang’s Travel Writing series is a collection of works based upon rapid sketches and graffiti that were then incorporated with subconscious visual imageries to investigate links between abstract forms and innermost desires. Travel Writing 04 employ light coffee colored patches as the main background theme. These were then crisscrossed by rugged, black, pen strokes and trails of dripping paint interspersed with orange and blue patches. Graffiti-like geometric lines create an intuitive and lively style unfettered by any rule. HSIEH Chi-Chang employs spontaneous brushstrokes to present the development of time and distance, transforming the rich yet fleeting sensations experienced during his trips into an abstract study of the spiritual self.
