2024 Westbund "The Golden Age" Solo Exhibition


From November 7th to November 10, 2024, artist Irene Chang's solo exhibition "The Golden Age" is prominently featured at Hall B325 of the Shanghai West Bund Art & Design Fair. This exhibition, presented in collaboration with Artrue Gallery, proudly showcases over 10 of Irene’s latest paintings created in 2024, including: "The Golden Age," "Burst of Joy," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Joy," and "Untitled." In her second appearance at the Shanghai West Bund Art & Design Fair, artist Irene Chang reflects on her recent creative journey, engaging in a dialogue between artistic creation and life philosophy.

Irene Chang has lived in cities such as Taipei, Hong Kong, New York, and Paris. Benefiting from the energy and cultural nourishment of these different lands, her work presents diverse artistic facets. However, she holds a special fondness for Shanghai, where she lived for fifteen years. Looking back on her life and creative journey, Shanghai represents a crucial milestone. This City not only opened a new chapter in her artistic creation, but also made her realize that the evolution of her work is closely connected to the pulse of this City, hence naming this solo exhibition "The Golden Age."

In balancing family, career, and artistic creation, Irene has found her most suitable state, "focusing on the present" and presenting her best level possible within limited time. Her works, combining spirituality and imagination, are also her "translation" of the real world. As she describes: "I am sometimes passionate and unrestrained, sometimes quiet and reserved. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and also cherish the tranquility of creating alone." In the deep blue background, birds sing in the forest. The expression, both stable and emotional, seems contradictory yet achieves a certain harmony in her works.
