Yilan

作品賞析

CHEN Ming-Te often uses the living environment and home-building materials of ordinary Taiwanese people as his creative subjects. “Yilan” presents a Japanese-style ordinary residence created using acrylic paint, cardboard, wooden panels, and other media. The surfaces of the residence are recreated with great variety, and include the textures of corrugated metal sheets, wood, and both new and old window frames. The outside area of the house is provided with a utility pole, stacks of random items, a shop sign, and a parked truck, further creating a mundane landscape of an ordinary household. CHEN Ming-Te combines the characteristics of different media and painting techniques, piecing them together in an unrestrained approach to recreate familiar structures that correspond to the pursuit of independent development based on the needs of actual building owners in real life.
