Taiwanese digital artist Guo Yichen continues to explore life issues through his creations and has also established the artist studio residency platform STUPIN, opening doors for Taiwanese artists to the world.
The road of artistic creation is often mixed with a bitter history, and it cannot be separated from perseverance and waiting for an opportunity to be seen. In contrast, Xu Zhihong (Hom) seems to have no such script on him. He humbly calls himself lucky. He only received formal art training in college and served in the military after graduation. During the year, he continued to draw and self-recommended to publishing houses. Before his discharge, he had already received an invitation from a publishing house to collaborate, naturally becoming an illustrator. In 2016, he won the highest honor in the publishing industry, the Golden Tripod Award for Book Illustration.
The lifespan of artworks can be extended indefinitely, thanks to the expertise of interdisciplinary conservators who combine art and science to heal various art pieces. In this episode of "Art City Travelogue," we come to Taiwan to meet art conservator Cai Shunren and embark on a journey to explore the art restoration stories of this land.
