Aesther Chang is a Taiwanese-American artist currently based in New York City.

Her work has been exhibited at prestigious galleries across the US and Europe, including Numeroventi in Florence.

Aesther Chang is known for her nuanced and subtle abstract paintings. Her drawings and oil paintings often depict the spatialpsychological deconstruction and fragmentation of the figure. Her works experiment with textures and colors, and the play between linear and ethereal elements. Made over long stretches of time with layers of natural pigments, her paintings capture observations on the impermanence of life and explore the intrinsic relationship between the human spirit and organic material.

Aesther Chang’s ethereal drawings and oil paintings offer a subtle and nuanced approach to portraiture that draws inspiration from the Old Masters while challenging traditional forms and aesthetics. Her interest lies in the idea of finding beauty in the dissonance created when the familiar is fractured and distorted. These works explore subtle shifts in value and color, the play between the diaphanous and architectonic, and the linear and ethereal qualities in form. Her evocative works create a crackled tension of unknown space and internal dialect on the canvas, blurring the distinction between fiction and quotation.
