The sparkling white snowflakes quietly dance in the wind, glittering with human nature. A gentle breeze blows, sprinkling the sky with a white palette. Iida Kiriko, who comes from the snowy land of Hokkaido, uses keen observation and a purely emotional mindset instead of traditional narrative to discard realism for fantasy. The mysteriously colored living entities display a gorgeous appearance, riding a white legend amidst a cold, endless fog, describing her childhood memories and imaginations, composing a poem of life from a world where people coexist with animals.

The curatorial theme of the “Post-Victory: Fine Arts Awards” consists of excluding subjective and objective positions from the process of the competition. It focuses on following up on the development or transformation of creative potential in the experimentation and concepts of Taiwanese artists after they have participated in a representative art competition. The artists participating in “Post-Victory: Fine Arts Award” will put on display two works: a pre-award and a post-award work. At their exhibition sites, there will also be reproductions of the original prize-winning artworks. How do you have artists stand out even after winning an award, and enable them to enter into market oriented art systems, such as galleries, auction companies, etc.,? Also, how can they cooperate with one another to further develop an artist’s creative career?
