Chiayi in Painting

"Chiayi Park (4)", year unknown
Tan Ting-pho created rough brush strokes in oil on the wooden board so that in between the branches and the greenery, the sudden glimpse of the red Torii Gate and Sacred Bridge can guide the viewer's line of sight to the other side of the pond. Wooden boards were one of the painting base materials often used by Tan. The artist enjoyed painting outdoors and emphasized that "research should be done first, then gain an understanding of the spirit of the era and the features of the locale of the painting site". Tan went to a corner of the park and took out a small wooden board from his painting kit. The artist's paintbrushes captured the natural scenery in front of his eyes and left behind a rare image of the Biantian Pond landscape.
