This year Impromptu is a solo representation within the group exhibition Still of Peace at the Scuderie Ducali di Palazzo Acquaviva in Atri. For this solo exhibition Chang will develop and extend the calligraphy conception from his early series and experiment with the Western medium to amalgamate the East and the West. For this site-specific exhibition, Chang will reside in Atri for two weeks to create a new series of works that stems from this early conception of Impromptus Form and explore further into the state of subconscious and imbue it into a gestural painting manner.
“I have specific preference for wild cursive, running scripts and the ink-splashing techniques when it comes to ink-wash painting. I enjoy expressing the racing impulse of ideas that occur to me with rapid movement of brushwork. In the creation of this series, I painted wherever I was inspired. The brushes moved when and where my thoughts flew. Blended in the ink and brushwork was my consciousness. My heart danced with my hand as I found a delirium of joy.” ——Yahon Chang, 2005
