YANG CHIAO-HUI
Yang Chiao-Hui believes that in our restrictive reality, everyone yearns to break free from the confines of societal expectations. Through her art, Yang expresses a wide spectrum of emotions: hurt, healing, joy, sorrow, and even anger. Many of the unspoken stories that yearn to be understood can perhaps find solace and completion in her work. This is also a process of self-healing for the artist, a retreat from reality into a space of infinite possibilities. Here, dreams, memories, and emotions flow freely without boundaries.
If we were to describe Yang's creations in literary terms, her abstract paintings could be seen as short prose. Each piece stands alone, carrying its own unique narrative. The inspiration for these works stems from the myriad of everyday experiences encountered by the artist. Yang strives to capture fleeting moments of beauty, profound insights, and even social commentary, weaving these tales into her art. She revels in the spontaneity and emotionality of this creative process. Her figurative works, on the other hand, are more akin to long-form novels, requiring prolonged contemplation. They are characterized by greater detail, intricate emotions, and multi-layered narratives, perhaps suggesting that these stories are still unfolding.
