Artwork Description:
This neo-cubist portrait of the artist’s father unfolds in the liminal space of the kitchen, the figure rendered weary, suspended between wakefulness and dream. Warm hues interlace with bluish accents, producing a near-pointillist interplay of color—blue, yellow, ochre—across the faceted surface. The father, a figure of both intimacy and discord, is geometrized and surrounded by the motif of radio waves, a recurring cipher in Chiao’s practice, suggesting the invisible transmissions of memory and emotion.
