Shih-Chiang Yeh

Yeh’s works span oil painting, ink wash, calligraphy,

and guqin making. Using simple, flowing lines,

color, and spatial conception, he expressed

profound reflections on life and existence. His style

blends the traditions of Eastern literati with

modern artistic ideas, utilizing distinctive personal

techniques such as deliberate blank spaces and

dialogues between objects to create dynamic

tension and a sense of space between reality and

illusion. Yeh’s ink wash paintings often feature bold

splashes of ink on large sheets of paper, with

backgrounds that highlight the main themes. Using

monochromatic systems, he conveyed layers and

spatial depth. His compositions commonly display

hazy, ethereal, and delicate changes of light and

shadow, symbolizing the fleeting and eternal

moments of life, expanding the finite canvas into an

infinite spiritual realm.
