蔡志榮生於1957年，台灣雲林，創作形態涉足多元領域，其觀念上與大眾生活息息相關，是當代藝術的實像呈現，蔡志榮不僅是位個性化的當代藝術家，蔡志榮更是一個社會化的藝術家。特別強調“社會”二字，是因為從他所倡導的“環境-動力美學”的幾次作品執行實踐中受到巨大震撼，在台灣當代藝術的發展史上，這或許是蔡志榮特殊的意義所在。毫無疑問，蔡志榮是在台北良好的藝術氛圍中成長的，1976年他的名字出現在台北“地下室畫會”的聯展開始，三十多年來，他一直就是繼五、六十年代東方畫會和現代畫盛行之後，活躍於八、九十年代台灣藝壇上新生代藝術家的代表之一。從最初帶有原始野性和情緒宣洩的那個題為“原始與動機”的個展開始一件件巨大的畫幅、粗獷的筆觸、強烈的色彩、堆疊擠壓的形象和率性的風格，都典型地表現出“憤青”強烈的精神反叛和情感宣洩的表達特徵，後來他以電腦符語編碼作為新的繪畫語言，把外泄的情感內斂在電腦符碼所滲透（參悟）的自然景物、城市意象和人生感悟之中，蔡志榮在追求從圖像到象徵的繪畫歷經過程中，經歷了社會的變遷和自己精神的轉化。這是一個憤怒地從現實的擠壓和堆疊中掙脫出來，又以擠壓和堆疊回饋(還擊)現實的藝術青年，走向以冷雋神密的電腦-符碼語系，解讀符碼一樣冷雋神密的現實的藝術中年，充滿了敏銳的激情和熱力四射的沖勁與包容心。
Chih Rong Tsai is not only an artist with style, according to my perspective, but also a socialized artist. Especially I emphasize the word “socialize” because I was shocked by his advocating and sponsorship of “environment- dynamics” on several occasions. I am convinced that it is where the meaning of Chih-Rong Tsai lie, in the development contemporary art history of Taiwan.
Doubtless, Chih-Rong Tsai was cultivated in the location Taipei, where provide the best artistic atmosphere for the growth of an artist. Since 1976, his name appeared in the “Basement Studio Joint Exhibition” when he was nineteen, for more than twenty years, he is still an active and one of the representative artists in the 80s and 90s, after the Oriental Painters’ Club and the lads of modernist painting. Starting from the primitive and direct expression of personal feelings in the “Primitive and Motive”, a huge painting with brushstrokes, vivid color, and stacked and compressed images, his paintings tended to convey his rebellions and overflow of power feeling temperament of being an “angry youth”. Later, he employed computer codes as his new painting language, transforming direct outburst of feeling into retrospection of scenes city image, and life through computer codes. From Chih-Rong Tsai pursuit from image to symbols, he experienced social and spiritual changes. He is a young artist that struggled away from the compression and stacking of reality and feedback the reality with compression and stacking with the terse and mysterious computer –hermeneutics series. I like deciphering of computer codes, the middle aged realistic artist is still full of sensitive passion, energetic drive, and an understanding heart.
