The new expo for Anding District Office’s Stairwell Art Gallery began at the onset of the Chinese New Year. The office is collaborating with the National Tainan Living Art Center in putting on The Aesthetics of Illustration—An Exhibition of Illustrations and Sketches. Featuring a diversity of bright colors and gentle brushstrokes that truly are endearing, the exhibition seeks to take viewers into a colorful world overflowing with what delights children. The exhibition will run until March 10.
“This is the cutest stairwell art gallery exhibition we’ve ever had”—many of the district office’s employees have expressed praise like this, as the exhibition’s artworks often cause them to stop in their tracks. The art pieces effuse with impressive detail and their fondness for the paintings has made it hard for them to take their eyes off these canvases. This year’s exhibition invited the following four artists: Wang Guo-xuan, Wu Fen-niang, Lin Yi-qi, and Cai Xin-yi. Although they have different painting styles, their illustrations share the same trait of displaying a variety of emotions and their observations of society.
District Chief Liu Shih-Hsiung stated that past stairwell art gallery exhibitions have featured oil paintings, pastels, ink wash paintings, multimedia pieces, and photographs. This year marks the first time there was an illustration exhibition with a central theme that focuses on things that interest children, and the art pieces are very innovative and charming. Liu welcomes Anding District residents to take a walk around the district office so they can admire these illustrations, which are extremely powerful and full of profound meaning.
This exhibition will run from now until March 10 and will be open to the public at the following times: 8am-noon and 1pm-5pm.
