Taiwan, with 321 years of colonial history, is surrounded by seas, and seeks for international recognition as well as democracy. In the environment with limited resources contemporary Taiwanese art strongly fights for the existence of consciousness. During creative process, one has to adjust to extrinsic and intrinsic pressure. Life’s difficulties and struggle to live by ideals of the future gradually integrate into images, materials or sounds as the features of existence. Freud believed that “I” is an object of conflict. From the birth to death, “life instincts” and “death instincts” constantly compete in order to shape and control our lives, thus making it hard to find a way how to be in peace with ourselves. Depression and pleasure becomes the same one thing, which gives the life its deepest significance.
Exhibition “Reality – Testing” displays contemporary Taiwanese artists, who work with different mediums to express their expectations for innermost life and their search for eternal paradise. Liang Gallery aims to exhibit diverse Taiwanese art and to present comprehensive and creative thinking of the artists.
