Exhibition Description:
The exhibition of works of art themed around conceptions of superior simplicity and complexity, exposing forms of intelligence as the highest ruling powers. Especially noted are inspired by LEGO blocks, minimalist sculptures of the atomic grids, and much more complex sculptures of the medieval deadman. Other works include the futuristic investigation of ideas for artful exploration of outer space and creating artificial, self-sustaining mini-greenhouse environments suitable to survive on different planets. Nicholaas Chiao recognizes his Conceptual Artworks as the most critical part of his practice, although as of 2024, these works were not privileged to be included in physical exhibitions. They have yet to be fabricated and exist as digital Art and computer renderings. His conceptual work elegantly represents our society and issues of evolution, education, technology, competition, ethics, and life and death in all glittering complexity. Artists such as Damien Hirst and minimalist Donald Judd were stated as influences of Nicholaas Chiao. Nicholaas Chiao's contribution to Conceptual Art is the adaptation of Conceptual Art motives to sound themes and realities of the 2020ies, including propaganda of ethical ideas in art, interest in using geometry in composition, and a precise approach to the use of color theory in art.
