Concept
This painting captures a tranquil and ethereal landscape, blending elements of traditional Chinese ink and color painting. Layers of distant mountains, veiled in mist, create a dreamlike atmosphere, evoking a sense of mystery and vastness. The calm lake reflects lush greenery and gentle ripples, enhancing the serenity of the scene. A small fishing boat drifts across the water, with a lone fisherman paddling—a poetic representation of solitude and a peaceful way of life, away from worldly distractions. The birds soaring in the sky add a dynamic touch, symbolizing freedom and an unrestrained spirit. This artwork embodies the Chinese philosophical tradition of finding solace in nature and illustrates the harmony between humans and the natural world.

About the artist

Kevin Tseng
Kevin Tseng uses oil painting and watercolor to express the local culture and customs of Taiwan. Instead of soft brushes, he employs sturdy palette knives, layering thick and vibrant oil paints. He incorporates the blending techniques of gongbi painting, ingeniously fusing two seemingly unrelated media to create a novel form of expression.
From 2021, due to the impact of the pandemic, his creative direction underwent a significant change. The fragility and impermanence of life suddenly seemed to come very close to us. The continuation and cherishing of emotions gradually became evident in his works. He began focusing on themes of mother-child and father-child affection among animals, projecting these onto human emotional connections.
The delicate layering of paint highlights light, shadow, and texture, while the rich color combinations imbue the paintings with a wild vitality. His artworks now emphasize the continuation and preciousness of emotional bonds, reflecting the closer proximity we've felt to life's fragility and unpredictability in recent times.
Kevin Tseng's works are not just images on a canvas; they are an expression of emotion. He combines his feelings with his brush, using the language of art to convey the depth and richness of life. His paintings serve as a window, allowing viewers to gain a deeper understanding of the diversity of the world and the continuity of emotions.
