There Are Monsters

作品賞析

Artist WU Yen-I studied classic painting in France for years. Her painting skill focuses on cautious composition and emphasizes the gradation of light and shadow. Her work There Are Monsters reflects the utter innocence of an artist. The canvas is divided into two parts by the window frame. The small toys inside the window symbolize the experience and feeling of the foreign life. The flourishing colors deliver the pleasurable memory. The window glass reflects the landscape outside the window. There seems to be a Western classic building. The artist tries to create the interaction between small toys and the solemn building through the reflection of the glass. The delicate interaction forms a funny dialogue and releases the leisurely atmosphere in the afternoon. WU Yen-I’s works contain certain poetic cultivation which condenses time, light, and shadow in the image and presenting a dialogue between the mind and the space for audiences to stop for appreciation.
