“If painting cannot be used as a language, words that cannot be said will turn into tears.”
When reviewing artist Guan-Jhen Wang's painting creations from 2014 to 2022, 2020 is a turning point. Previously, she mainly used acrylic paint as a medium, and after 2020, she began to use oil paint to create. In addition to plane painting, there were also space installations and painting cloth atlases developed from painting, covering a variety of art forms. In the portrayal of figures and scenes, her works showed a unique style of painting consciousness and implication.
Although the exhibition "Breathing Ghost" has the name of "Ghost," her paintings are not portrayals of spirits and ghosts, nor are they collections of strange themes and contents. However, for artists, painting always has an aspect that is difficult to see, and even a complex perception beyond words.
