About this artwork
In this piece, I've sought to capture the bustling vitality of city life, the swirling dance of light and shadow. Each brushstroke embodies the raw energy of the urban rhythm – the haunting amber glow against the encroaching dusk, the silhouettes bustling with life, and the stories written in the rain-soaked streets. It's a vivid, impressionistic celebration that will bring an ambiance of dynamism and warmth to any space.
Back in 2016, I took the… photo which this painting was based on after work. It was a rainy evening, everyone couldn't wait to get back home. Somehow I was very excited about testing the new camera and didn't mind the rain at all. Specifically remembered the shutter speed set was 1/30 sec., you could see the different degrees of motion blur on the pedestrians and the CTA bus. The "L" train wasn't in the photo, but I really wanted it to be included in the painting so just had to imagine it. The original photo will be posted in the comment section for comparison.

Chiang was introduced to the oil medium at the age of thirteen. He was immediately taken by its versatility and slow-drying attributes. It was a time before the digital mediums became highly developed and widely accessible. The freedom of adding layers and blending colors opened up unprecedented possibilities for him. His fascination for the oil medium has been consistent even after the arrival of the digital age of art creation. To him, oil's organic brushstrokes are irreplaceable no matter how close the digital tools could deliver.
Painting helps Chiang maintain his inner piece, meditate on life, and seek wonders in the mundane. He believes, “Beauty is everywhere, it only takes the eyes to see, the mind to perceive, and the heart to appreciate.”
