A World of Angels — Solo | Neptune Gallery

Snippet of Dao Ming Chuang's solo exhibition

2023.05.13 — 06.18
Neptune Gallery
Taipei, Taiwan


Continuing from last year's piece titled “A Place of Peace”, this exhibition extends the metaphor of “angels” as a symbol of peace. Building upon the initial wing-shaped design, I incorporated various symbols to create chubby, endearing characters, incorporating the architectural elements of a medieval church ceiling that evokes a sense of pilgrimage. By combining totems with spiritual symbolism, I portray a simple, happy, lively, and abundant world of angels, just as I perceive peace: "Peace is the source of inner satisfaction that brings vitality to life."

The English word "Angel" originates from the Greek "Angelos," meaning messenger. Therefore, I hope to convey a blessing through the A World of Angels series of works — a hope that everyone may find inner peace and attain spiritual abundance.
