+ OVERVIEW
Yeh Shih-Chiang was known for his low-key demeanor and lack of desire for fame and fortune. He lived in seclusion in various places such as Xindian, Ruifang, and Hualien, leading a life of solitude and Zen meditation. He did not actively engage in the art market and instead made a living through teaching and making guqin (Chinese zither). During his lifetime, he only exhibited his works at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and a few private venues. Consequently, his artworks were rare and sought after. It wasn't until before his passing that he decided to entrust all his paintings to Chang Sung-jen, the owner of the Hanart TZ Gallery, allowing collectors the opportunity to glimpse into the creative world of this exceptional and solitary artist.
Subsequently, Hanart TZ Gallery held solo exhibitions for Yeh Shih-Chiang in 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2023. In addition, the Italian publishing house Rizzoli released an artist-designed book titled "Constellations: Yeh Shih-Chiang / Yeh Wei-Li". His works have been exhibited at various locations including the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts Museum, Art Basel Hong Kong, and Taipei Dangdai.
