Revelation

This painting combines semi-abstract forms, “V” shapes, overlapping triangles, and complexly woven vertical and horizontal images, a warm, elegant palette, and fantastically dynamic clouds to provide the viewer with a multiply changeable visual space. Negative and positive blocks of color are used, plus lines that subtly echo one another. The artist cleverly combines the images of oxen and of farmers pleased with the harvest. Whether plowing, sowing, threshing, raising animals, or gathering the harvest, their forms dance and are at one with nature. The painting is a tribute to humanity. This painting won First Prize in the first mural competition organized by the Taiwan Museum of Art (now named National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts).
