Ingenious Craftsman with Rainbow Enchanted Wonder Li Jiun-Yang Solo Exhibition

Flickering! Rainbow enchanted spiritual phantom spectrum. Loooo~ Rainbow enchanted photo Elysium. The genuine Tai Chi is beautiful as the sun; and that is the origin of Taiwan Tai Chi fish doll. Materials of works in the exhibition Ingenious Craftsman with Rainbow Enchanted Wonder are mostly acrylic on canvas or used wooden panel. These works are paintings done after Fairest Fairies Fair, Phû-lōng-kòng Blossom, which was shortlisted for Taishin Arts Award in 2012. These works are inspired by life drama of the ingenious craftsman and mysterious thinking in art-making; while enlightenment drawing and recreated mythologies serve as the function of frameworks of these works. Works such as “Chang,” “Rainbow Taichi Fish,” “Superman Playing Instruments,” “Chirotheriu Playing Traditional Mythological Animals,” “Old Craftsman,” “Cat the Shooter,” “Retarded Doll” should be read as colorful paintings in temples. His recent works were done in Soulangh Artist Village; and the artist applies the techniques of temple painting, overlying colors with the shimmering effect.
