The 2nd Seven Years: Quilt of the Dead, Flora & Fauna IV, Narratives
The title of visual artist Chang Yoong Chia’s latest solo exhibition reflects the guy’s practice: chock-full of stuff. His work betrays an obsessive-compulsive’s need to accumulate and cram. But this visual busy-ness is what makes his work startlingly beautiful, in the same way an illuminated page from medieval times might be. In his 2006 Rimbun Dahan exhibition, “The Final Voyage of C.Y.C” was a seashell a mere 5cm across – yet it was a miniature painted world of stormy seas, in which a dead, gossamer-wrapped bug was making its ultimate journey.
Death is one of Chang’s obsessions. He began “Quilt of the Dead” in 2003; the next year, he was seen still working on this work, sewing faces taken from obituary pages even as the events of Urbanscapes 2004 roared around him. The current show will showcase Chang’s work from that period, till the present day, exploring themes of memory, imagination and history.
