Man and Cat Sculpture

Received traditional Taiwanese academic training, but I had been interested in Expressionist and Fauvist painting. I truly discovered the humanistic and imaginative creative spirit of modern art when I went to study at the La Cambre Art Academy in Belgium in 1982. The man who had the most influence upon my works was one of the founders of the Cobra Group, Mr. Noiret. The Cobra Group was founded in 1948. Its name was made up with the first syllables from the names of the cities of Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. It was an highly active European art movement. Its members pursued an unrestricted expression, wanted to interact with the world in a direct and emotive way, and made works using paint and other mixed materials. The Cobra artists carried on the tradition of Northern European Expressionism, resulting in highly subjective paintings with strong colors and bold outline. My early paintings during this period were very grand and bold, clearly under the influence of the Cobra style. I build up my own visual language to express my thoughts on nature, animals, and humans with intersecting structures of primal colors. My works are straightforward expressions of my inner mental world. I believe my works can bring you different visual experience. Enjoy!
