+ OVERVIEW

Nowadays upcoming and young Taiwanese artist Chen Wei-Ting, who was born in the 90s, is full of topicality. He expresses his expe- rience of life through childlike paintings, sculptures, and poems. His inspiration was drawn from life and created a very symbolic classic character. Candle Dog is made in dedication for his mother during his military service. The flickering candlelight illuminates the dark- ness, but one day it will also disappear, as if many things in life fade away without a hint. Chen Wei-Ting employs the quintessential life experience and then visualises it, leaving the viewers to incarnate the sympathetic emotion in memory.
