Cheng Tsai-tung - A Trip to Hualien, County Culture Center, Hualien, 1992

Catalogue Note:

In 1991, Cheng Tsai Tung started to paint Taiwan landscapes with regional features and culture essences from a humanist perspective. After "Northern Wilderness" from 91 and "Pei Tou Affairs" which received Hsiung-Shih Creative Award in 92, Cheng went to Hualien where lies within a vast expanse of sea and sky at the east shore of Taiwan, and created "Hualien Traveling" series or works.

This piece has adapted the layered coloring technique, barely visible lines filled within the picture, separate the canvas into different blocks with base colors in blue and green, those charming sienna and bright green entwined, as if the time stopped at that moment, allowing the viewer having enough time to connect himself into the picture, being the character of the picture, dreams under the blue sky.
