The power of painting is the ability and weight to continuously intervene in vision. This intervention not only tells all the known history and reality of mankind, but also relies on images, the exploration of vision and the resulting impact on the human soul and The control of wisdom. Similarly, we can call all painters today graphic artists. Their work is rooted in visual images and on the boundaries of multiple disciplines, reconstructing the concept and nature of pictorial language and its analyzable symbolic history. And ultimately presents the composite meaning of the empirical and transcendent worlds.

Zi Jiao, one of the pre-Qin scholars, said, "The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe." Regarding the present, past and future of time, as well as the all directions of space Both top and bottom are included in the macro-structure of Wang Chang's artistic expression, which is both traditional and contemporary, oriental and global, grand and micro.
All this comes from the artist Wang Chang, who has been silently and firmly searching for a unique artistic path. His style, composition, color, line, technique, as well as his precise control of his personal painting language, have neither a teacher nor a master. Having no friends sometimes reminds us of Morandi, an outlier in the history of Western art. No one was like him before him, and no one was like him after him. He was an isolated case in the galaxy of art. It is also the lone pine on the top of the mountains. Like that lonely star in the night sky, it constantly emits its own persistent light. Wang Chang is such an artist. He is so self-contained, unique, and different. "There are no ancients before and no newcomers since." But no one needs to shed tears for this, because we are all witnesses of art.
Wang Chang's exhibition "Heaven's Secret Map" will continue until November 18.
