| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 視覺藝術學系研究所 === 104 === The study aims to explore the art creation of Chien-Chang Cheng, a local artiest in Chiayi. The artwork of Chien-Chang Cheng is full of unique Taiwanese consciousness due to the poverty in the childhood and political and social changes in Taiwan. The study will explore the connection between Cheng’s art creation and Taiwanese society and cultures and analyze the background and significance of Cheng’s artwork in order to understand the connection between Cheng’s art and the migration of ancestors from China and the significance of the Times.
The study will explore the influence of upbringing, art education, and time background of Chien-Chang Cheng on his art creation and understand how Taiwanese consciousness became one of his main focuses on art creation. Taiwan has diverse cultures derived from migrant ancestors and cultures of Republic of China after WWII. These cultures have deeply rooted in Taiwanese consciousness and influenced the development of Taiwanese art. The study will explore how Cheng’s artwork touched the audience’s heart and aroused Taiwanese people’s cultural memories through images of ancestral cultures.
The study found that Cheng responded to the evolution of the times and presented Taiwanese consciousness through characters, images, and signs. Filled with Taiwanese consciousness, his work shows the identification with Taiwanese cultures. In his recent works, Cheng integrated eastern philosophies into his care for human beings and the environment based on the viewpoint of Mahatman (which means Greater I). In addition to continuous pursuit of artistic innovation, Cheng extends the identification with Taiwanese consciousness to the care for entire human beings and the environment. Such spirit is worth learning and handing down to younger artists.
