The blanket of snow on the mountain hints at the arrival of winter. But there is still warm sunshine in Chiayi in the painting. The long shadows cast by the sun on the back of the wall create a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere in the painting. In the warm air, people’s faces seemed to be baked in red.
On Chen Cheng-po’s canvases, the land of his hometown, Chiayi, often exudes a warm atmosphere. And what would be the impression and color of your hometown to you?
