Deputy Director-general Yang Tong-hui of National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memo-rial Hall said the hall and Tainan City Government have long-term close interac-tions and promote art and cultural events together. “2022 Chungshan Youth Art Awards Traveling Exhibition” was held at Tainan Municipal Xinying Cultural Center in March this year. This time, Tainan City Government Cultural Affairs Bureau sends the splendid works of the outstanding artists in southern Taiwan, Lin Wen-yueh and Yang Hui-hua, to northern Taiwan and displays their works jointly through the theme of “Fresh Breeze, Suspense.” Welcome more outstand-ing Tainan artists to exhibit their works at the hall in the future so that the art lovers will enjoy the beauty of Tainan art at a close distance. She sincerely wel-comes the fellows of the art world to appreciate the works. Deputy Director-general Chen Hsiu-cheng of Tainan City Government Cultural Affairs Bureau said Lin Wen-yueh comes from Baihe District, the lotus town, and has painted more than hundred thousand lotuses so far. His ink wash works famous for lo-tuses feature the barren and freehand style. His pottery makes good use of the lo-cal lotus seed pods and Guanziling hot spring mud to develop the glaze colors of “Baihe white” and “Guanling green.” Yang Hui-hua was born in Danei District of Tainan City. After the experiences of work and family, she fully dedicates herself to art creation. Her works are with exquisiteness and tenacity. She started her ca-reer late, but her works won the instant success and recognition of the major awards such as “Nanying Award” and “Tainan Fine Arts Association Award.”
