Chang-Ling is an artist with full of artistic soul. His studies brought him to France in 1996, and there he quickly latched on to new movements in contemporary art. And since returning to Taiwan in 2005, he has not let go of his intellectual pursuit and exploration of creative freedom and subjectivity in contemporary Taiwanese culture. In his perspective of this memory, which reflects the artist's self, is also part of the unique creative style of his motherland, which brings his practice back to its original inspiration: Nature.

“Pork Belly Series — Meaty Landscape” incorporates deposits from the shores of Chang-Ling’s mind and the artist’s innovative approach to painting, along with advancements in broader Eastern thought. The combination creates a fantasy landscape of a distinctly Chang- Ling-style aesthetic. We see in the work piles of meat in mountains of different pinks and demonstrating the artist’s technical prowess with the brush, a strip of road appears like a wisp of cloud or mist and is as emotive as the sea. At a time when the technology of human civilisation brings about new changes each day The meaty landscape is not a representation of traditional landscape painting, it is a work that means to be a call for the conservation of the earth and present environment.

A groundbreaking work by Chang-Ling, “Waterside – Flower Figure” not only alludes to the unforeseen wonder and allegories of ancient mythology, it also contains in its composition a certain textural dimension and aesthetic from the expansive landscapes of classical Chinese painting and calligraphy. A large space on the canvas is left blank as if to impart on viewers the notion that Chang- Ling's painting presents a landscape of contemporary times.
