When Taiwanese artists cross boundaries, they not only create paintings in different world views but also reflect on the values of their roots. Whether in the art paradise of Paris or in the cosmopolitan Shanghai, these artists were inspired by foreign cultures and abundant art trends. Base on the firm foundation of art training, they boldly exploited their potential and developed wider dimensions of their own creating styles, adding various themes and stimuli to the development of Taiwan art. Regardless of whether they went back to Taiwan or stayed abroad after finishing their training, these artists kept referring the natural and cultural spirit of their country through artwork, continually promoting the arts and cultures of Taiwan.
