(2024年7月10日 / VENTS MAGAZINE) In these challenging times, Chinese ink painting is engaging with the global art market at an unprecedented speed and scale. Particularly, the works of Taiwanese artists, with their unique cultural backgrounds and creative styles, have garnered widespread attention and acclaim in exhibitions. This summer, the Vueling Onboart Exhibition became a major highlight in the global art scene. Taiwanese artists, with their distinct styles and profound impact, infused the entire exhibition with vitality and creativity.
The exhibition featured numerous international artists, including Irena Orlov from the United States, Kohlben Vodden from the United Kingdom, Veronika Slivova from the Czech Republic, Riitta Hellen-Vuoti from Finland, Akshita Lad from the United Arab Emirates, Rania Abulhasan from Kuwait, and Francis Akpata from France. These artists employed various media, such as acrylic, oil, and mixed. Notably, a group of Taiwanese artists presented traditional Chinese paintings rendered in colorful ink. The charm of Chinese ink painting transported the audience into the majestic landscapes depicted in the artworks.
Taiwanese artists Tsai Yu-Yun and Chien Hsuan-Ming collaborated on “Fantastic Benevolent Moral Integrity,” employing bold brushstrokes that oscillate between abstraction and realism to portray mountains and lands. Their use of daring lines concealed figures and animals within the scenery, elevating Chinese ink painting to new heights. In contrast, Taiwanese artist Men-Chieh Wang’s “Enjoy the Golden Moment” features delicate lines, creating landscapes through repeated overlays. This innovative technique transforms abstract forms into concrete images, showcasing new techniques in Chinese ink painting.
These Chinese ink paintings exude strong Eastern colors and cultural symbols, allowing Western visitors not only to appreciate Asian artworks but also to experience the beauty of their culture through the expression and techniques of these pieces. For example, Tsai Yu-Yun and Chien Hsuan-Ming’s passionate brushstrokes showcase the rich expressiveness of Eastern paintings, making the audience feel as if they are in the wondrous world of nature. Meanwhile, Men-Chieh Wang’s repetitive engraving technique highlights the line aesthetics of Eastern art.
A quick search for the Onboart Exhibition reveals that it has received extensive attention and praise from the international art community. Media and critics have commended the innovation and depth of the Asian artists, acknowledging their role in expanding Western audiences’ understanding and perception of Asian art. According to ARTnews, despite the general slump in the global art market, Asia has taken a distinctly different path. Not only has Asia hosted numerous large international art fairs, but the total sales of some auctions have also been impressive, indicating its increasingly important position on the global art stage.
