Artist's comments

This painting series, a collaboration with Feng Yi-Gang from Taiwan's Comedians Workshop, includes five pieces from fourteen. They tell "A Nightmare of Xiqi." In the series, a resident of an ancient Taiwanese city dreams of visiting his father's birthplace, Chang'an. The paintings show food and wine from Chang'an turning into monsters. The dreamer wonders how he dreams of memories he never had, expressing emotions of family, homeland, and culture through vivid, hallucinatory art.

 

 審査員評

I love the uses of organic shapes in the paintings; they add such a natural, fluid feel to the work. Thr ability to mimic traditional Asian ink painting is spot-on The subtle color gradients the artist employs bring a unique and captivating flavor to the illustrations. The work stands out for its blend of traditional techniques and modern creativity, making each piece both striking and memorable.

The illustrations successfully portray a dreamlike state through their composition, balance of details, color combinations, and designs. The style, reminiscent of traditional paintings, further enhances the artworks.

This serie is a vivid depiction of a dream world. It's surreal and whimsical. The shape of clouds, and graphic elements are beautiflly illustrated and influenced by Chinese culture.

It is very interesting how everything comes alive and interacts in unexpected ways with reality, losing the notion of reality in an impeccable style, where the white outline works very well, as opposed to the normal way of drawing with black, that invites to think in the inversion of what is normal or common, and enhances the atmosphere of the hallucinatory experience. The way of painting and the color palettes are, psychedelic at times, surreal at others, and all of that is in a very good domain by the skill of the artist. Beyond the chaos of what the story expresses, the way of making art with it, is in an order, harmonies and well-achieved compositions.

This series of illustrations showcases the artist's rich imagination and artistic skill. The entire set of images is imbued with a fantasy atmosphere.
