Warm Winter

作品賞析

The subject matter for HUANG Mei-Yun’s painting comes primarily from her observations of daily life, for she believes the most beautiful things are often those found right next to us. The surroundings of our hometown, potted plants in our courtyard—these familiar scenes are tightly bound up with our memories and contain within them the philosophy and our feelings about life itself. In Warm Winter the artist lays out the painting’s keynote with broad swaths of pale red color, projecting warmth in light and temperature. She then depicts plants in deep red, symbolizing the fact that in winter plants still exhibit a vital force, and also giving expression to the life experienced by the artist in central Taiwan. HUANG Mei-Yun has lived more than 30 years in central Taiwan, where she has developed a fondness for the warm winters and the people living there and has populated the inner world of her paintings with her feelings of joy. From this tranquil atmosphere, HUANG Mei-Yun sends forth the unique emotional appeal of central Taiwan.
