Existence ‧Horse

作品賞析

The artist Wang Chih-Pin is adept with the super-realist style. By repeated layering of the oil paint and the depiction of detail, he brings animal images and environmental issues in daily life together in paintings that are both realistic and fantastic. Existence．White Horse continues the theme of nature and environmental protection. A gentle-eyed white horse made of recycled aluminum cans stands before a dense forest—the contrast gives the composition its visual impact. The white horse conveys a harmless, positive impression, though it is made of aluminum cans representing man-made garbage that damages the environment. The aluminum cans also relate closely to the “existence” in the title, where the artist wants to convey the idea of “existence, but no comment.”
