+ OVERVIEW
As one of the "The Eight Bandits" of Ton Fan Group, Wu Hao's works span two significant periods in Taiwanese art development: the "Modern Painting Movement" of the late 1950s and the "Local Movement" of the 1970s. Wu Hao demonstrates the transition of eras, illustrating how innovation and tradition can evolve with the times, reflecting the artist's unique experiences of caring for the land and understanding life. Unlike creators who come from an academic background, Wu Hao is not constrained by established schools or rigid concepts. Although he is not classified as an outsider artist, he draws inspiration from his life experiences and expresses his observations and feelings with a pure and natural attitude, embodying a similar spirit. Wu Hao's works
primarily focus on childhood games, traditional opera, festive celebrations, and rural life, channeling his nostalgia for his hometown into his creations.
They also symbolize a precious microcosm of Taiwan's historical journey through significant eras. The artwork, "Musicians," depicts a festive scene of a folk
band rich in imagery. The artist employs a square composition, flattening the contours of the figures and the spatial depth. The painter repeatedly utilizes vibrant colors such as vermilion, royal blue, bright yellow, emerald green, and violet, along with continuously repeated line patterns, enriching the sense of visual order in the painting and capturing the lively atmosphere of the festive season.
