Kuan Chang through April 10th at Chandler Fine Art Sensitive, delicate” and “carefully” crafted are the most common adjectives used to describe the compositions of Kuan Chang. In his own words, his work derives from an admiration of Medieval Chinese and Japanese paintings given a modern minimalist reconciliation with his cultural and intellectual heritage. As surely as Pollock was inspired by the Mexican Muralists and Picasso by African sculpture, Kuan Chang has evolved a unique non-specific referential style and method rooted in the subtleties of an Asian aesthetic. Using minimalist compositions and organic structure, he has created intimate environments inhabited by subtle and mysterious images seen and felt. These works are created on gesso- coated canvas with natural fibers and thread. With these materials, Kuan Chang carefully "draws" on and textures the surface, which is then stained in subtle tones which create depth and reference the passage of time. Kuan Chang was born in Princeton, New Jersey. He currently lives and works in Marin County, Calif. His work has been exhibited in New York, Miami and San Francisco.
