+ OVERVIEW
Liao Chi-chun’s painting, whether its shape, color, touch or texture, have received positive response in the painters’ circle. In particular, his color usage was exceptional, as he often uses pink, stone green, water blue, light blue, light yellow, and above all, the contrast between red and green, in order to make the whole work looks warmer. Liao’s style is all about beauty, and he particularly use sceneries in Taiwan as his topic, including the Confucius Temple, Xiaonanmen, Tamsui, Yehliu, Guishan Island, Spring and Autumn Pavilions and Love River.
In this painting, the Spring and Autumn Pavilions, is located in Zuoying, Kaohsiung. It was one of Liao’s favorite attractions. The work expresses the color contrast of traditional Taiwanese buildings. The artist also added some clumsy yet interesting expressions, like the tree on the left, whose trunk and leaves were portrayed with strong and straight lines, responding to the red pavilion. The boat on the right added some motion to the whole picture, giving the whole piece more vitality.
