Turn back the time for you
Date of exhibition: 2021 27 Apr.~2021 25 Jul.
My beloved her is no longer in the azure blue – Marine pollution has faded her brilliance and color away. Only if time can go back for you, what would be the first thing for you to do within your own point of view for our natural environment? Our Mother Nature.
Po-Chun Cheng creates his works and studies the ecosystem in ocean-wide and the transformation of our mother nature by using the marine debris. “Turn back the time for you” accounts the deep-sea pollutions that we try to avoid, hoping to remind the society’s awareness of the environmental issues within his art pieces. “Super Power” created by Hua Shan Din by Cosmos Creation, is based on the image of the hotel’s mascot, Baobby, by using marine debris and created with the surrealistic technique will also be displayed exclusively for this exhibition.
Philosophy of Art Creation
The increment in wastes of resources leading by the growth of technologies, and with the continuous impact and climate changes from global warming, the beauty of ocean from Cheng’s childhood memories has also been fading away. With his love for this land, Cheng has utilized these easily retrievable wastes, e.g., newspaper, cement, plastic bottles, and other existing materials by the seashore, and has given them new lives by upcycling through paper sculptures. The marine ecosystem and transformation of Mother Nature have now become the core concepts of this collection of his art works. “Super Power” created by Hua Shan Din by Cosmos Creation, is based on the image of the hotel’s mascot, Baobby, by using marine debris and created with the surrealistic technique will also be displayed exclusively for this exhibition.
