Galerie Grand Siècle is very pleased to announce Chang Teng-Yuan’s first solo exhibition in Taipei.  The winner of both Kaohsiung and Taipei Art Awards, Chang Teng-Yuan will present an array of stimulating animation installations and paintings.

How far is the edge that one’s sight could reach? Chang Teng-Yuan conceives an “art” of gazing that penetrates not only objects but also the viewer’s own sight.

His work vigorously challenges our habitual experiences in viewing—he is an artist, but sometimes you can’t help thinking that there is this side of a maverick scientist of him. Through exquisitely designed viewing devices and highly stylized images, he artfully slips information, with a strategy of non-stop image guerilla, into the folds of the viewer’s brain. As information accumulates, the switch to ignite some long-forgotten sensory experiences is rediscovered.

“Excavation of the invisible is the most precious in the process of an artistic construction. The core of Chang Teng-Yuan’s art is to sift through sensory phenomena that are intricately woven in the depth of our anatomic lens,” comments Chen Yi-Chun, an art critic.  Abundant in information and hints, the colorful images in fact suggest some subtle anxiety.  Under such weight of anxiety, the viewer’s perceptions, however, are lithely lifted to a floating divergence.

Opening Reception:  Dec 18, 19:00 – 21:30
