He Works Of Chou Yu-Cheng Mainly Criticize Images In The Mass Media And The Way In Which They Are Produced. Today, With Digital Images Practically Everywhere We Look, The Artist Looks At How Our Perceptual Experience Accepts Or Rejects This Situation, Expressing Concern At The Objectives Behind The Production Model That Produces These Images. In This Context, Chou’s Images Do Not Offer A Direct Narrative Or Clear Satire, In His Works Some Images Are Imbued With Poetry Whilst Others Are Just Nothing More Than Slightly Altered Images Or Semiotics From Elsewhere, An Approach That Allows The Problem To Slowly Reveal Itself Of Its Own Accord. Indeed, His Use Of Images Has Long Since Strayed From The Opposition Of Pop Art To Modernism Or The Manipulation Of Iconic Images.

For Chou Yu-Cheng The Images That Surround Us Have Long Since Become Part Of The Landscape Of Today. Where They Differ From Natural Landscape Is That Is That The Images We Accept And Use Are Bit By Bit Changing Our Experience And Ideology Of The World In Which We Live. As Such, Chou’s Works Can In One Sense Be Viewed As A Field Study, As He Attempt To Point Out Potential The Hidden Rhythms Or Structure Of Public Images. Advances In Video Or Imagining Technology Also Signifies A Revolution In Visual Experience And Through His Familiarity With Digital Image Technology The Artist Attempts To Create A Virtual Landscape. Although His Image Works Sometimes Directly Challenge Our Sensory Experience, Chou Sometimes Also Seeks To Wake Us From Our Reverie To Show Us The Existence Of Truth.
