The Artist's Story:
“From Past to Present” is a series of new watercolor paintings made from observations of photos, printed materials, and still image from videos.
You will explore Hsiao’s personal connections with his cultural background from Taiwan and direct links to the close memories he has made with his family, past and present.

This new work series marks a major transition from different eras of Hsiao’s watercolor painting practice. Before 2020, his artwork would depict nature – images created from time spent in botanical gardens.
But during the 2020, his work became confined to his studio, and his window outside became the photographs living in his computer, be they his own or references taken from online.
Thus was his painting series “New Phase” born. You will see those works as part of his exhibition.
