NOTES ON HER WORK

Alice Chang uses various techniques, vibrant colours, and dynamic brushstrokes to convey her emotions on canvas, offering a unique interpretation of humanity through her subjects.

 

Working primarily with acrylics, she favours light pastel colours and soft hues, creating striking contrasts with her distinctive use of strokes and shades, which highlight light and shadow.

 

Chang's work aims not to reproduce reality but to present her interpretation of it, challenging our perceptions. She takes viewers on a visual journey, where one can initially see a positive image with vivid colours and tones. Through clever juxtaposition, a negative transition can also be perceived. Her use of chromatic differences, sometimes aggressive and shocking, along with the contrast between light and shade, pale and dark shapes, engages viewers' senses and emotions.

​

In her early years, Chang focused mainly on animals, reflecting her desire to express human emotions and feelings through them, presenting her unique vision of various animal types.

 

As her career progressed, her professional background influenced her work, leading to a more conceptual approach through abstract art. Currently, Alice strives to offer a broader interpretation of her perspectives to the public. She believes that art must be subjectively perceived and that interpretation is the foundation of her work, not its consequence.
