2019.7.18-7.21
Art Taichung is a major annual cultural event in Taiwan held every July. This year, DaGuan is proud to present the exceptional works of six artists to art lovers: Takeshi Shikama, Li Tingting, Cheng Tan-Shan, Cheuk Ka-Wai, Chan Sui Ying, and Yen Chun.
Each artist takes viewers on a creative journey woven with dreamlike visions. These works arise from a fusion of real-life experiences and unconscious impressions, refined through meticulous craftsmanship to form surreal yet intimate landscapes that reflect the essence of life. Takeshi Shikama transforms real scenery into poetic, painting-like photography; Li Tingting uses blue-toned landscapes to depict the progression and creases of time; Cheuk Ka-Wai portrays the myriad beings of the earthly world; Cheng Tan-Shan delicately renders the textures of daily life layer by layer; Chan Sui Ying subtly captures the shifting of seasons through symbolic objects; and Yen Chun uses lingering scents of life to trace another living soul.
