“Unearthing Light” With Miner Painter Hung Jui-Lin

TAIPEI — Hung Jui-Lin (1912–1996) holds an important position in the history of Taiwanese art. The last time when there was a largest-scale exhibition dedicated to the artist was back in 1997 — in memory of his death anniversary. 25 years later, this long-overdue retrospective exhibition of Hung Jui-Lin is on now view at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (TFAM), thanks to a collection donation from the artist’s son in 2020. At the entrance to the exhibition, Unearthing Light: Hung Jui-Lin, visitor comes to an arched opening in the mustard yellow wall. Like a miner who sets foot into the tunnel to access the underground ores, visitors walk into the exhibition through this inviting doorway that leads to the artistic world of Taiwan’s one and only miner painter: Hung Jui-Lin. <a href="https://medium.com/@shaopeng.wanders/art-exhibition-unearthing-light-with-miner-painter-hung-jui-lin-4e765f54194a">Website</a>
