November 1-December 13, 2008 Opening Reception: Saturday, November 1, 3 - 5 p.m. Rooted in the fashions of the 20th Century yet grounded firmly in tradition, modern Taiwanese art boasts a history of surprising diversity and change. In the face of increasing Western influence, artists completely broke with tradition and embraced the avant-garde movement of the 1960s. Among them are Liao Shiou-Ping, Li Shi-Chi and Chu Wei-Bor, three widely celebrated artists who have developed distinctively individual styles through decades of exploration and innovation, successfully making breakthroughs in their quest to keep step with modernism while holding on to their roots in Taiwanese heritage and Chinese influence. This joint exhibition displays works on canvas, paper, wood and lacquer. Curator: Suewhei Shieh
