Gazing at the Twisting Paths Beyond: Taiwan Realism from 1960鈥檚
Each Modern is very happy to announce the group show "Gazing at the Twisting Paths Beyond: Taiwan Realism from the 1960s," featuring 8 important Taiwanese artists, at King Card Cultural and Art Center. This exhibition coinciding with" A Foreign Cloud in Another Sky锛歍aiwan Abstraction from 1960鈥檚" at Each Modern aim to reclaim and reevaluate the provocative attitude of Taiwan realism and Abstract paintings.
In his doctoral dissertation, 鈥� Xie-Shi (Realism) in Art of Taiwan (1910-1954) : Contextual Formation and Its History,鈥� Prof. Wu YuTang offers a comprehensive analysis of realism, highlighting that its fluid definition in Taiwanese art arises from misinterpretations of modern Asia's context and Taiwan's unique art history. This has led to a conservative view of realism, opposing abstraction and avant-garde art, and creating a perception of realism that diverges from European and Japanese influences, as well as from China's development. Our past interpretations of realism reflect the social constraints faced by art. This exhibition aims to transcend these limitations by rediscovering artists from the past fifty years who viewed realism as a form of resistance, much like the refusal to conform seen in realism within Taiwanese literature during the Japanese colonial period. It also seeks to explore the question of what realism means in the twenty-first century.
