Memories under the Big Tree

作品賞析

CHIEN Meng-Jin’s painting depicts the good times in memory. The work, Memories under the Big Tree, uses trees as the main subject. There are too many stories and childhood memories under the trees. The big tree is mainly surrounded by sketches, recording the scenary from childhood. There are houses connected to the roads in the fields, village towns with closely linked buildings, and children who are watching fish along the river. The deliberately simplified lines in the picture shape the innocence and straightforwardness similar to children's drawings; the bubbles made of paint leave a petal-like mark. In addition to the abstract symbolic code, it also creates a child-like delight and richness. CHIEN Meng-Jin shows the beautiful scene in memory in the form of collages such as montage.
