Artwork Appreciation
CHEN Chien-Jung’s recent works are mainly focused upon illustrations of an architectural space. His creations include personal experiences and his current surroundings that have been internalized to form his urban personality. Landscape 80 is focused upon public transport. Subway train cars and rails are converted into abstract blocks and lines of different sizes. Automatist techniques were employed to create dripping flows. Repeated rubbing and changes create a composition with multiple overlapping memories and imageries. It is hoped that the combination would help create a familiar yet diverse memory of our urban life while leaving plenty of spaces for readers to interpret the visual messages conveyed.
