Lot Essay

The Kaohsiung-based artist Wang Chia-nung uses the name Mi-li-tsun Nan to remember his hometown in Pingtung County. Using an emulsifier to thicken the ink and acrylic on canvas, he builds an almost sculptural pictorial space with subtle nuances of tone that reflect the infiltration of light. A layer of depth and mystique is added to his painting, which conveys a solemn sense of longing. Wang has exhibited in institutions such as the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of History in Taipei, the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and the Shandong Provincial Museum.
