Arnold Chang uses white ground as a structural element in many of his works. In the center of his work Gazing after Glow (2019), thrusting lines give form to a meandering central ridge, where rock formations on the mountaintops are visible. As viewers move their gaze from the center to the periphery, the mountain ridges morph from solid to airy. The formless clouds not only create an aerial perspective of the upper reaches of mountains surrounded by masses of clouds and mists, but also connect various ridges emerging out of the clouds. Chang has also applied light color washes of yellow, purple, and green to the painting, which might remind viewers of light refractions in mist.
