Chiang Han-tung:80th Anniversary Retrospective Art Tour

This event exhibits a collection of over 100 pieces of artworks by Chiang Han-tung since 1963 as his retrospective exhibition at 80. The artworks combined oil paintings, printmaking and the early ink paintings. Lee Chun-Shan was once his mentor. In the enlightenment period being influenced by the western Cubism, Chiang Han-tung mainly painted folklore and narration but in a nontraditional way exquisitely presented three dimensional figures with fresh and pure colors and rich construction, which brought out the busy and fancy side of the folk traditions, to form his own style. Chiang Han-tung has long suffered from the eye problem. For an art creator, it no doubt is the biggest obstruct. With his limited eyesight, he has to be close to the painting in order to complete it in a slow way. Instead, the body limitation gives him a larger imagination space. He paints the stories and biographies that he learnt when he was young so the figures under his brush project a kind of fun of the early days. While fighting against the fading out of the sight, Chiang Han-tung made a colorful world in the garden created by himself in the hope of the viewers could feel the mixed feelings of life.
