Yuan Jai 袁旃
Fair and Clear II 好顏容II
2006
Yuan Jai’s painting career began to flourish while she worked as a conservator at Taipei's National Palace Museum, a post sheheld for more than thirty years. Different from most ink painters of her generation, Yuan creates playful and exuberant works, exploring the inter sections between material culture, classical paintings, and daily experiences. In this painting, she transforms bundles of fabric and swirls of ribbon, which usually play supporting roles in Chinese figurative painting, in to pink peonies,a traditional symbolof prosperity in Chinese visual culture.
