Artwork Appreciation
KAO Yung-Lung’s Travelling Alone is filled with various symbols and metaphors. The artist transformed himself into a bird to express an emotional tale of travelling alone. The bird is shown flying to a serene forest alone, with its outspread wings depicted in graded tones of blue, white, and yellow to produce a dynamic and elegant pose. The bamboo grove, on the other hand, is depicted with the saturated hues of mineral paint to present a pristine and verdant state. KAO Yung-Lung uses art to convey the boundless vitality of nature and life while seeking spiritual solace.
