Artwork Appreciation
KAO Ya-Ting’s works have always focused upon the contradictory attraction and separation between the human race and nature. KAO Ya-Ting made use of art to illustrate her fantasies and imaginations, and is skilled in using bright, pastel colors to create a seemingly natural visuals of abstract realism. Queenbee No. 6 of the Hive series used bright neon colors to create a portrait of a lady whose body is covered by a layer of brightly colored bees, leaving only her hair and face exposed. People naturally won’t willingly allow their bodies to be covered in bees. But to KAO Ya-Ting, the work depicts mankind and their fantasy to conquer nature. KAO Ya-Ting’s works communicate her ideas and emotions as well as her imaginations and observations of both urban and natural landscapes.
