Artist Chang Chun-Hao, who won the Kaohsiung Award in 2017, presents his solo exhibition this time with the theme of "Ubiquitous Net". Through his personal perspective on observing life, Chunhao uses the character "Ubiquitous Net" as a creative motif, focusing on the visual form rather than its literal meaning. He extends it to four dimensions related to "people": "People and Environment," "People and Society," "People and Family," and "People and Intimacy." Here, "people" refers to the broader sense of self, starting from the individual's small social position and expanding to the people and things around oneself. It is also an exploration and study of various aspects of oneself and a quest for self-understanding.
Continuing the extension of the "Soul Container" series from 2015 and 2016, Chang Chun-Hao uses metaphorical techniques to juxtapose two heterogeneous works on double screens: one black and white, one color; one figurative, one abstract; one real, one virtual. At first glance, they depict different individuals or even conflicts. However, deliberately arranged details create connections in form and meaning, offering infinite imaginative space visually.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the artist employs the technique of "partial enlargement" of objects, akin to painting in a "microscopic" manner. By magnifying the objects, they take on unfamiliar appearances, disrupting the viewer's familiar perception and causing visual and psychological unfamiliarity and abstraction. Through this approach, the artist aims to present effects that go beyond mere photographic realism and instead generate visual and perceptual conflicts, resulting in a final presentation reminiscent of abstract paintings. These familiar yet unfamiliar images provide people with new sensory stimulation within the realm of the ordinary, attempting to awaken their perception of everyday life objects.
