Taipei Dandai 2022 : Taipei World Trade Center

Mind Set Art Center is honored to present the works of its top artists at the Galleries section of Taipei Dangdai 2022. The artists include Marina CRUZ, Rao FU, SHI Jin-hua, TANG Jo-hung and Lee YANG. The exhibition will run from May 20 through May 22, 2022 at the Taipei World Trade Center. A preview session is scheduled for 2 p.m. on May 19. We extend a cordial invitation to you to join us at the event.

At Booth A09 in the Galleries section, Mind Set Art Center is set to present Rao FU’s latest show called “Nameless Planet” as an exhibition-within-a-exhibition. The artist reflects on the global turmoil and the life-and-death situations that many have to face, and explores the nature of man that transcends life itself. Next to FU’s exhibit is a group show called “The Landscape of Man”, consisting of the works from Marina CRUZ, SHI Jin-hua, TANG Jo-hung and Lee YANG. The artists, each in their own way, interpret key objects in their surroundings that preserve family memories such as writings and photographs. By transforming these mediums into their own artworks in this pivotal time in history, the artists explore the depth of life in the present day, and hope to inspire us all to reflect more deeply on the life we live.

“The Landscape of Man” consists of the artworks from Marina CRUZ, SHI Jin-hua, TANG Jo-hung and Lee YANG. In “Pen Walking #179 – Seeing Compassion Lake Around Mount Kailash”, concept artist SHI Jin-hua sticks the shavings of pencils he used in a drawing on the paper to create a landscape with unique texture. The artist displays the pencils’ trail as a metaphor of his own life-long Buddhist practice. His other painting, “Rock Landscape”, was made for his 2021 exhibition in the Taitung Art Museum. It is a reinterpretation of his earlier concept art “X Yoga Tree 034”, which was exhibited in the museum during the early stage of his career. The artists used pencil, graphite and ink to paint the details and texture of the rocks. It was also during this period of paying fastidious attention to his subjects that he rediscovered the value of his own creation.
