FRAN CHANG (1990)
1990; Poços de Caldas, MG; Vive e trabalha em São Paulo, SP [Lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil].
Fran Chang (1990, Poços de Caldas, Brazil) builds land- scapes through painting in which the atmospheric expanse of the horizon contrasts with the dimensions of the canvas. The art- ist’s works are inspired by inhospitable places, devoid of human figures and vegetation, and depict ethereal and lunar scenarios where steam, water and ice predominate. The choice of silk as a surface for pictorial creation—a medium that dialogues with her Taiwanese ancestry—reinforc- es the diaphanous character of her works and reveals the un- derlying structure, thus establishing a dialog with the tradition of painting. Chang’s work speaks about the contemporary experience of a relationship with nature mediated by digital images, the in- tangibility of the natural world, and the ambiguous potential of si- lence and solitude by depicting scenes of a dissipating world. Fran Chang has a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts. She also has an academic extension in Astrophysics and Astronautics from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. In 2024, she held Zenith, a solo show at Millan. Her work is part of the collections of the Saint Louis Art Museum, in St. Louis, USA, and the Museu de Arte do Rio, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2020, she was a recipient of Itaú Cultural’s Arte como Respiro public award
