Warren Chang is a highly esteemed California artist, known for his genre paintings, especially those portraying fieldworkers on the Central Coast of California. “I felt this subject had a historical precedent dating as far back as the 16th century with the paintings by Peter Bruegel the Elder and later the work of Francois Millet and the 19th century Naturalist Movement in general. My works, though inspired by the paintings and subjects of the past, are however contemporary records of our times. I depict the farm worker honestly without idealization with an understanding of their plight. In a way I see the farm worker as a tragic figure, a metaphor for all humanity.” Chang’s works have been purchased for the permanent collections of the Monterey Museum and the Hilbert Museum of Art in Orange, California. He was honored with solo exhibitions at the Monterey Museum of Art, the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio, New Museum Los Gatos and at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara. He is a Signature member of the California Art Club and a Master Signature member of the Oil Painters of America.
