Seven YCH 喜歡探索事物的矛盾之處。他擁抱寒冷中的溫暖，接受混亂中的偶然，從微觀通往宏觀，從確定性中喚起抽象性。他認為唯一能夠實現空虛的是詩意感。近年來，他潛心研究混合內在與外在景觀的新領域，描繪心理狀態的現實，並提出了有趣的無邊際的故事的獨特圖像。
YCH is interested in exploring the contrariety of the objects. He likes to embrace the warmth in the coldness and to accept the serendipity amidst the chaos, to evoke the immensity from the insignificance as well as the abstract from the certainty. He believes the only thing that can fulfill the emptiness is the poetic sentiment. In late years, he dives into a new territory of mixing inner and outer landscapes, depicting the realities of mental state, and comes out with intriguing unique images of spacious stories.
此次展出的系列作品，藝術家持續進行對於「質地」的思考。而在人類腦袋裡迂迴飛轉並脫俗超凡的，是名為想像力的透明「質地」，深深吸引著他。運用想像，可以讓水成為鏡子再成為自我的虛像；想像可以是從前是現在也是以後；想像墊高了科學、藝術、以及文明的維度；想像是隱喻的也是象徵的；想像是藝術家欣然接受並戴上的一頂王冕，而這頂神聖的王冕，讓宇宙中任何人，皆有能力往來俗世和宇宙時空之間，不費微力。人，生為一種俗世裡的「物質」，卻被給予了超越俗世位階的權柄，詩意因此存在。
From the exhibited series of works, YCH continues the exploration of “Texture”. He is trying to see through the “Substance” in mankind with the collage images and the poetic shadows. In his images, referring the imagination as the “Texture”, lead the viewers to fly effortlessly into a transparent spacious land. From the artist’s point of view, the ability of mankind to imagine can be considered as a marvelous gift that allows us to travel through time and space, from a momento to eternity, from the beginning till the end.
