+ OVERVIEW
After his relocation to Jieshe Yuan in 1992, his works show noticeable change from a carefree style to a peaceful and serene scene from his retirement. This work has a full frame composition of a luscious forest in spring or early summer. Spatial depth was represented through horizontal distance and multi-layered mountain ranges, using a bird's eye view to enhance its visual impact.
A thin layer of turquoise was applied onto the painting to enhance the lush effect. The center of the work features a dense thick forest which echoes with the landscape of Taiwan. Ochre was applied to the cottage to highlight the harmonious and serene environment. Art critic Chiang Hsun once said, "Chiang's work plays with the combination of colours green and ochre. Layers of spatial and abstract depiction excel techniques of conventional ink paintings and highlight a mystic aura of Nature." Through the formation of lines and dots, a harmonious rhythm was depicted, and this is one of the techniques of Chiang, depicting a majestic and lush landscape.
