Huang Chih-yang has been continually creating a series of original "theme spare parts" in plants' forms since 1988. Through exaggerate, magnifying, characterized transform measures, he transformed the lines, shapes and cracks of plants into semi-abstract brush strokes and images. He treated these image prototypes as spare parts, as cells, make them divided, duplicated, and recreated. This kind of reproduction eventually evolves to a mutated organic life form. And by transforming natural images into art is Huang's basic creation approach. The participation in "Venice Biennial", 1995 and exhibition in Ludwig Museum, Germany, 1996 made Huang even more aware of the source and tradition of his own creations.

"Lover's Library" is finished via water ink techniques on silk papers, as the artist realized water ink art in an irreplaceable core in Chinese art traditions, the aesthetic this kind of art pursues is how an detailed or free and easy feeling of time and trails realized through inks spat on the papers. In order to present "Discourse", he'd chosen two models to redefine men's existence, the value and spirit of culture, given them a ritualized respect. Unlike his previous series, images were created based on concept and topics, not based on the characteristic of each individual image.
