"In the present series titled Self and Structure, Chuang's experiences inform his titles. Key Performance Indicator and Benchmark refer to the effect of corporate structure upon the work environment and by extension on the individual. It is fascinating to see how this visually translates into the hovering forms of color. The sense of boundaries both imposed from without and within begin to diffuse, allowing the imagination and the psyche to emerge. The new paintings very much reflect the notion of productivity by simply being present, absent of imposed structure."
