Untitled02

Cheng Chang’s practice examines the relationship between humans, plants, and the wider ecological systems they inhabit.

His paintings frequently challenge anthropocentric ways of understanding nature. Instead of presenting plants as decorative or passive forms, Cheng imagines organic life as active, adaptive, and capable of developing beyond familiar biological boundaries.

In Untitled02, this idea appears through forms that seem simultaneously botanical and anatomical.

The branching structures can suggest roots or veins, while the rounded cavities and layered interior sections resemble cells, organs, seeds, or developing tissue. These visual associations remain deliberately unresolved.

This ambiguity is central to the work.

By allowing plant forms and bodily structures to visually overlap, Cheng Chang questions the boundary between human and non-human life. The painting suggests a speculative ecosystem in which biological identities are fluid rather than fixed.

The intense orange-yellow palette gives this imagined organism a sense of heat and vitality, making Untitled02 distinct from the cooler green and blue atmosphere of the preceding work.

Through this small-scale painting, Cheng transforms organic abstraction into a way of imagining alternative relationships between body, plant life, environment, and future forms of coexistence.

Untitled02 is a small original acrylic painting by Cheng Chang in which warm color, organic structure, and biomorphic abstraction converge within an intimate 15 × 15 cm format. Dominated by luminous yellow, orange, ochre, and earthy red, the composition unfolds through rounded forms, branching contours, and layered internal structures. Certain shapes recall petals, seed chambers, tissue, or anatomical sections, yet none resolves into a fixed biological subject. Instead, Cheng Chang allows these forms to exist between categories. A large segmented structure occupies the upper portion of the painting, while softer rounded forms gather below it. Curving outlines connect these areas, creating the impression of an evolving internal system rather than a conventional landscape or botanical study. The compact scale intensifies this sense of concentration. Rather than presenting an expansive environment, Untitled02 feels like a fragment extracted from an imagined organism—a close observation of growth, mutation, and biological transformation.
