Artwork Appreciation
WU Yu-Jou’s Landscapes of The Scenery of the Hometown I reflects upon how people coexist with nature. Orange, red, and yellow strips were layered over each other to create an abstract composition with a warm color tone. These brightly colored patches with sharp, distinct edges represent ever-changing buildings that forever transform the once serene plains of grass. Patches and lines construct a gradually evolving landscape, generating an abstract artwork to show the prosperous co-existence of humans and nature while reflecting upon the seeds of destruction sown upon this seemingly beautiful landscape.
