A grand celebration of art—spanning abstraction, contemporary ink, and cultural synthesis—is set to open at Capital Art Center from September 09 to November 08, 2025. This landmark exhibition brings together four iconic figures of Taiwanese modern art: Max LIU, Shi-Chi LEE, Chen-Yen WU, and Kuo-Sung LIU, showcasing their ongoing explorations and innovations in tradition, culture, and artistic media within a contemporary context.

Max LIU is renowned for his vibrant and life-filled brushwork, which conveys a raw aesthetic rooted in indigenous cultures, expressing his profound connection to both nature and humanity.

Shi-Chi LEE, on the other hand, merges calligraphy with abstract forms to develop a unique visual language—infusing Eastern aesthetics with new vitality in the realm of contemporary art.

Chen-Yen WU, a student of Bei-Hong XU, stands as a leading figure in Taiwanese impressionism and realism, and is widely recognized among the “Cross-Strait” generation of painters.

Kuo-Sung LIU, a pioneering force in modern ink painting, has pushed the boundaries of traditional brush-and-ink techniques with his experimental spirit, earning global acclaim for his redefinition of the genre.

This joint exhibition is not only a powerful convergence of the creative energies of these master artists, but also a cross-generational, cross-cultural visual journey. It invites viewers to rethink the dynamic interplay between art and its era, East and West, tradition and modernity.
