+ OVERVIEW
Tzu-chi Yeh has created many renditions of the subject of gazing on mountains. There have been reverences from afar, elaborate depictions up close, and captures of shades of green in the misty fog. Not only has he introduced a new perspective to the contemporary art of landscapes, he has also created his own unique and intimate aesthetic of scenery.
Yeh’s mountain paintings clearly reflect an attachment to his earlier days, manifested in the stretches of mountains and forests he paints. He hails from Hualien and Taroko, but spent his schooling years in Yangmingshan and Mt. Shamao. These mountains embody the artist's intimate connection to and affectionate gaze upon his native land.
"Looking Up to the Mountain" represents the artist's profound connection to the scenic beauty of their hometown in Hualien, blending Eastern expressiveness with Western realism. Through meticulous color transitions and delicate brushwork, the painting reveals rich textures and depth, evoking a sense of serenity and poetry. The artist skillfully incorporates metaphors and symbols, seamlessly merging natural landscapes with inner emotions, expressing a deep affection for their homeland. Additionally, the artwork presents a unique interpretation of contemporary and classical aesthetics.
