Misty Forest

作品賞析

HSIEH Yi-Shan studied Eastern gouache at Tunghai University, and she chose her familiar scenes as the themes of sketches. There was a broad Taiwan acacia forest in the campus, and the various appearances of the forest became one of her painting themes. The work Misty Forest depicts the Taiwan acacia forest in the mist. In the legend, “acacia” is the symbol of a couple loving each other but being forced to depart. Two trees embrace each other, so they are named “missing” in Chinese. The artist presents the misty atmosphere of the splendid forest with pink. The overall image is delicate and plaintive. Through the piling of colors, it seems to tell the initial admiration and touch of creation in the flowing of time.
