Cheng, Chien-Chang focuses his creative thinking to reverently portray the land, the people and everything. He has always been concerned with the relationship between people and society; the relationship between people and the land; and the spirit of people and nature. He examines those relationships that echo the ancients’ exploration of the value and significance of life itself and how these contemporary relationships point to the future.

When he is creating, Cheng considers the links between history and present-day life through his attention to the Taiwanese character and interpreting” the inner workings of power” in the universe. He is committed to construct, at the same time, an image of the modern Taiwanese and a Taiwanese artistic viewpoint. This new vision interprets the meaning of the modern spirit and pursues the inside of the mind at ease.

Formally, he takes the elements of the tangible people, mountains, island, land , rivers, trees and clouds to express the invisible and the infinite spiritual body through deformation and metaphor. By using replacement techniques of identity symbols, he let go to existential dialogue and shows the pursuit of spiritual freedom beyond physical bondage. He usually shows austere strength through pure color with generous shadowing applied to emphasize density, dimension and shape. Furthermore, size is often contrasted in characters. The small character represent humans reverent in their insignificance to the great characters that throb with unlimited power.
