ARTISTS STATEMENT
"I have always felt compelled to communicate my views regarding the human condition.
The human figure has always been the central focal point of my work. My objective as an artist is to convey visually what is inside the mind, and the influence of society on the individual. My sculpture is an investigation into materials and how they interact and juxtapose each other.
It is my hope that the viewer will join me in delving deeper into the human psyche through the medium of sculpture."
The skill and inspiration for Orlando Chiang’s sculptural work derives from many organic sources. His formal career is in physical therapy. He remains a life-long student of anatomy—especially the skeleton or armature. His training in painting, drawing and sculpture has taken him on a path from representational to metaphoric ruminations on the meaning of life. The figure is now implied, and he creates installations in which the human form of the viewer completes the work.
Chiang was born in Chile of Chinese parents. He attended Catholic school, yet now is a practicing Buddhist. That breadth of exposure and connection helps fuel the desire to express his views concerning the human condition. and his appreciation for layers of meaning. Orlando studied art for many years at the Armory. He had a solo exhibition there, "Son of a ..." in 2013. He is now a Board Member of the Armory Art Center. |
