Don Quixote’s Journey through Illusions
Date of exhibition: 2024 24 Jan.~2024 15 Apr.
The novel of Don Quixote unfolds like a fantastical dream, traversing the labyrinth of time and space, guiding readers to explore uncharted territories. His adventurous journey is a spiritual odyssey, depicting the intertwining of courage and imagination with the stroke of a pen. This is not merely a narrative of a story but also a profound reflection on humanity, culture, and society.
In this exhibition, Don Quixote finds artistic resonance within Hualien’s Taroko Gorge. It captures the enchanting moment when literature meets nature and art harmonizes with the earth—a magical interplay. The message is, “Taiwan, full of fantasy and poetry, is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered and explored.”
Creative Concept
In the “Don Quixote’s Faithful Tango” series, we blend a deep literary passion with the perspective of Spanish culture, embarking on a fantastical journey that transcends both novel and art.
It is a crossover between literature and art, expressing emotions towards the island environment. Each stroke of oil paint allows us to rediscover the beauty and uniqueness of this land, savoring the dynamic spirit of Don Quixote’s adventurous soul leaping onto the canvas. Each painting is the artist’s sincere presentation of the spirit of the knight.
