Liu De-Lang: Ridgelines of Life
Renowned Taiwanese mountain artist LIU De-Lang returns to Liang Gallery with his third solo exhibition. Through monumental oil paintings, from towering peaks to surging tides, he not only expresses his profound contemplation of this land but also bears witness to Taiwan鈥檚 geographical marvel鈥 a remarkable island of merely 36,000 square kilometres that cradles more than 268 peaks above 3,000 metres, representing the world鈥檚 highest density of mountain summits.
LIU De-Lang approaches his subject matter with contemplative detachment, transforming geographical observation into artistic revelation. To him, artistic creation is a lifelong journey, a pure dialogue between emotion and vision. Each work emerges from genuine inner resonance, embodying a fearless creative venture that breaks free from traditional landscape conventions to reveal an unprecedented perspective of Taiwan鈥檚 mountainous beauty.
Landscapes are eternally on the road, present in every moment. As a mountaineer who has conquered Taiwan鈥檚 hundred peaks, LIU De-Lang has continued to venture deep into Taiwan鈥檚 mountain forests over the years. Each ascent becomes meditative journeys 鈥 each step, each glance, each moment of silence transforms into artistic expression. From Taiwan鈥檚 highest peak Jade Mountain to the magnificent Nanhu Mountain, from the precipitous Mount Chungyangjian to the distinctive Dabajian Mountain, his works transcend mere documentation to become profound artistic testimony.
