Taiwanese-American artist Eric Chiang lives and works in Connecticut. A man bewitched by his deep inclinations to art, Eric had been awakened from mundanity to self-awareness in which he has sought to recognize music and visual shape and color, which led to his own mountain and wave magnanimity. Using seemingly textured paint, Eric mixes abstraction and realism to achieve a point of its own elegance. He conceals rustic blue-black continuing mountains with ribs in coarse strokes, and his waves spring up to tower in the mist and white wind, as in Blue Matterhorn . The dregs of life come against the infinite music, and then cascade down to meet the river. Clutching nothing material, their business seems to be with the void. Eric Chiang's life has expanded our horizons by delineating times where the painted image is distant from than the monetary world. The combination of his sources advance with a proud grace as if rejecting mere representation. The black and white paint is transformed from dripping and splashed spots on the canvas by way of the imagination, They seem to stroke the invisible, while without petition they also address the infinite and the universe.
This year, he created a new series called The Year 2020 , taking the as pandemic subject; in it, the barbed wire hoop assaults the hospital bed Somehow in angry darkness a sort of gigantic coronavirus earth is loosed upon the solar system and an insignificant space-walking astronaut.
To glance at Eric's earlier realistic practice, it encapsulates the enfolding light of Christ while denying the significance of the destruction of worldly things. Gazing upon those pieces, we see he has left a violin or cello or saxophone abandoned in the air or flowing water or outer space and the whole composition is devoid of humans. We have to congratulate him for seeing though the pretense. Eric crystallized his thought in vision.
