The series draws from Taitung’s vivid colors. “These pieces appear simpler and more decisive in form, with many details stripped away,” Chiang says. “Most importantly, they reflect the feelings of my life in recent years – filled with powerful energy.”
Named after Debussy’s music, this series evokes a forest veiled in mist, where a breeze stirs the leaves and light dances through the branches. Paul Chiang captures the shifting play of light and shadow, rendering the ever-changing forest scene within the music.
Often regarded as an important voice in Impressionist music, Debussy composed works that bathe listeners in morning light or immerse them in moonlit waters. Paul Chiang’s "Debussy" captures sound in motion—trembling, settling, and fading away like light in a dream.
Inspired by the sacred calm of temples and churches, Paul Chiang’s "Hundred Year Temple" series transforms motifs like dragon columns and candlelight into abstract symbols of spiritual light—a work of nearly three decades of artistic exploration.
Since his student years, Paul Chiang has been drawn to the solitude and resilience in Giacometti’s sculptures. In Self-Portrait, the tall, slender figure and blurred contours suggest an introspective gaze—an echo of Chiang’s state of mind at the time.
This series is Paul Chiang’s meditation on human existence and the boundlessness of time. Some works depict vast cosmic scenes that echo his reflections on life’s meaning and the eternal; others, created in the wake of 9/11, portray destruction alongside words like “compassion,” “humanity,” and “love”—conveying his deep hopes for the world.
The "Jazz-Jinzun" series began during the construction of the Paul Chiang Art Center. Limited by time and space, Chiang turned to a more spontaneous and minimal approach—translating everyday moments into vibrant blocks of color and rhythmic lines, much like the jazz music he loves.
In 2006, Paul Chiang created "Silver Lake" for the first time, marking a significant turning point in his artistic journey—from struggle to clarity, and from gazing into darkness to discovering hope. Silver Lake is, in fact, a reservoir in California. Inspired by the interplay of moonlight and shadows on its surface, Chiang transformed the scene into a powerful work, revealing the richness of his imagination.
Classical music has been an important companion throughout Paul Chiang’s life. The "On Wings of Song" series, created after he settled in Taitung, was inspired by a poem by German poet Heinrich Heine and the famous musical setting by Mendelssohn. The soft, vibrant bubbles floating across the canvas seem to carry melodies through the air, full of rhythm and movement.
“Light” lies at the heart of Paul Chiang’s art, symbolizing hope. In "Death in the Distance," it becomes the divine glow of heaven; in "Hundred Year Temple," it evokes the sacred atmosphere of worship; and in "Saint Sulpice," it emerges as a spiritual radiance that transcends the material world.
