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.
Bzzz from KAO Ya-Ting’s “Hive” series depicts a beekeeper collecting honey from beehives set against a white background. Every plant in the surroundings has been stripped of their contours and outlines, leaving only splotches of color to create a dreamlike world of fantasy. KAO Ya-Ting’s works express mankind’s fantasy of conquering nature and communicates her imaginations and observations of both urban and natural landscapes.
