The Old Tree of Hometown series is a body of works created by Kaohsiung-based artist Wang Chia-nung (also known as Mi-li-tsun Nan) from 2008. The series explores the artist’s nostalgia towards his old home, in particular the scenery he enjoyed from the courtyard. His work is characterised by the humbleness of the subject shown through its intricate form, the creation of an expansive spatial dimension, and a subtle nuance of ink tones that reflect the infiltration of light. Using an emulsifier to thicken the ink and acrylic on canvas, Wang adds a layer of depth and mystique to his painting which resonates a solemn sense of longing and beauty.
Wang has held solo and group exhibitions at established institutions in Taiwan such as the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and the National Museum of History. He is one of the participating artists in the exhibition series Tension of White Line which toured to Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong in 2013-2014.
