(English below) 約在1945年的臺南市,這是根據好幾百張舊照片和實地走訪遺跡所完成的作品,限量檔案高質感版本已可購買囉 (30大的, 30一半的)! 這件作品是我幾年前一件台北中部作品的姐妹作. 我很享受去深入了解這座城市,相較作品中已經非常現代跟做過都市計劃的老台北;台南中部充滿了許多蜿蜒的巷弄. 還有很多清朝及日代期留下的美麗建築,讓我很享受創作的過程,我最喜歡的是高等法院還有宮古座戲院,但很可惜的宮古座戲院已經不在了。無庸置疑地,這次繪製過程所費心力不貲,這也是我至今最為精細的作品。印刷作品可在這裡:overthecityshop.com/products/historic-tainan-1945 或這裡 etsy.com/uk/listing/661044657/historic-tainan-hand-drawn-pictorial 買到,或者直接與我聯繫,此款鉛筆原作也即將可以購買. 請分享這個, 謝謝!
This is Tainan City in about 1945. It was drawn from hundreds of old photos and walks around what remains. Limited edition archival quality prints available (30 big, 30 half size)! It's a twin to the drawing of central Taipei I made a couple of years ago. I wanted to create a unique view of the city right before it changed forever. I've enjoyed getting to know this city. The area of old Taipei I drew was very planned and modern while the center of Tainan is full of atmospheric winding lanes. A lot of the architecture from the Qing and Japanese eras was beautiful and enjoyable to draw. My favorite is the high court building, which I'm happy still exists, and the Miyako Theater, which sadly doesn't. Apart from the landmarks, photos were quite difficult to locate for this drawing. This stalled me a few times. Prints are available from here: etsy.com/uk/listing/661044657/historic-tainan-hand-drawn-pictorial or here: overthecityshop.com/products/historic-tainan-1945 , or just message me. The original pencil drawing will be available soon too. A share would be appreciated!

What inspired me?
When I first moved to Shanghai, I stumbled upon an old residential alleyway and saw bamboo sticks poking out of windows with laundry hanging onto them, waving in the air.
To me, that was incredibly beautiful. And the amazing thing is seeing something so traditional in a modern, fast-paced city like Shanghai. When I told locals how I was fascinated by these, they said, 'You crazy! This is so ugly!' Haha.
Zhang Yimou is a famous Chinese film director, who directed the movies Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Raise the Red Lantern, and also was the art director for the Beijing Olympics. Many of his movies reflect the beauty of the Chinese culture, through the use of bamboos and traditional costumes. I thought Zhang Yimou's portrait done in a Shanghainese laneway, with bamboo and laundry would be perfect for this project.
I ended up using 750 pairs of socks because shirts were too big and expensive, plus I found an interesting way to pin the socks together, creating a diamond-shaped piece of skin. It was interesting to see the different angles of shadows casted on it throughout the day.
Also, notice the quirks of the local Chinese living in that area! Many of them were really curious and came to help. What started off as a personal piece became a community project! It was amazing seeing how they were excited to see this piece come into completion...and this was also how I got to know my neighbours in Shanghai! :)
