Cherry & Japanese Grosbeak- Golden

作品賞析

SU Meng-Hung’s Cherry & Japanese Grosbeak-Golden is based on a classical Chinese palace painting of birds and flowers by the Qing Dynasty painter Giuseppe Castiglione. The painting was transformed into a brilliantly colored but jarring visual image. The original technical brushstrokes and colors are completely replaced with excessively colorful yet flat color patches to become a cultural symbol that seeks only to excite the senses. By using the bright yet kitsch elements of pop art to copy and convert traditional works, SU Meng-Hung found that even garish colors can be used to achieve a unique sense of elegance.
