Artist Huang Ming-Chang was born in Hualian County. In 1977, he entered Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris to pursue advanced studies and returned to Taiwan in 1985. Huang transformed his training in the solid traditional technique of European painting to take a natural scene and make it into an object of reverent exploration. He unleashed his true feelings about sea, flowers, and green rice fields through his paintings. The exhibition, which will continue at Taipei Fine Arts Museum until June 17, 2012 (http://www.tfam.museum/TFAM_Exhibition/exhibitionDetail.aspx?PMN=1&ExhibitionId=422&PMId=422), is Huang’s most significant solo exhibition in the past 20 years. It features the series of "Gazing Out," "Paddyfield," and "Gazing at the Sea" as well as works from his Paris days and rarely seen early works.
