Yichiao Chen
“In my art practice, I explore the changes in natural elements and energy. It cannot be accurately described in all human words. Therefore, I try to present it on the easel painting and dynamic art form with abstraction and impression. I explore and depict the spirit in the distance and creativity in the reach of art. In my opinion, it seems that only the spirit itself is art. 'Whether an audience can achieve an emotional or spiritual connection through art? 'As a mother, during my process of getting pregnant and raising two children, I felt the fragility and preciousness of human life. I discuss the relationship between the mother and child to explore the emotional and spiritual connection through art. I believe love is the foundation of ourlife so we can build other love on this foundation. I explore the classical religious iconography of mother and child. The feeling of mother and child is revealed through artistic creation and imagination to paint my self-portrait, my daughter, and my son. the classical religious iconography of mother and child. As a Taiwanese mother in this generation, I want to create Madonna and Child in the Asian style, exploring the gaze and background to discuss the relationship between the mother and child. Therefore, I use the concept of "transformation "and "hybridization" to explore the idea of race, gender, and cultural identity to reflect the complexity of the image in the 21st contemporary world.”
