National Formosa University's Art Center is centered on the core mission of promoting art education and fostering cultural inclusion, having long been committed to building a cultural platform for free creative expression and diverse exchange. The center recently launched a group exhibition titled "New Rhythms in Watercolor: An Artistic Exploration in Harmony with Color," with an opening guided tour held on 6/6 (Friday). The exhibition features 35 watercolor works, bringing together 22 artists of different ages and backgrounds, presenting the rich diversity and free spirit of art.
This group exhibition was organized at the initiative of NFU Department of Business Administration Professor Liang Chih-Ching, who invited fellow painting enthusiasts and classmates to exhibit their works together. Participating artists include students, art teachers, NFU faculty, and lifelong learners, crossing boundaries of age and identity — embodying the Art Center's mission that "art is accessible to everyone." The exhibited works span themes such as observations of daily life, emotional expression, and natural scenery, showcasing diverse styles and genuine emotion, reflecting each artist's delicate perception and unique perspective on the world around them.
Li Yen-Hsi, Director of the Art Center, stated that this exhibition reflects the diverse forms art can take, showing that anyone can live an artistic life and integrate art into their everyday existence. He noted that in the age of AI, although typing in a prompt can generate a painting in an instant, the inspiration gained through the process of hand-drawing is something AI cannot replace. He also encouraged the students and visitors in attendance to enjoy and immerse themselves fully in the process of handcrafting, creating, and painting.
NFU Department of Business Administration Professor Liang Chih-Ching stated that painting is a way of cultivating both body and mind, sharing his own experience of encountering watercolor painting as a child: "At first, my paintings were a complete mess, and I was even afraid to pick up the brush — but once I started painting, I became more and more interested." He emphasized that integrating art into daily life is not difficult, and that everyone can try it and succeed at it.
Through this exhibition, NFU invites viewers to experience the warm and ever-changing charm of watercolor art, while further advancing the integration of art into daily life, creating a cultural space where artists can exchange ideas with one another and visitors can engage in dialogue. The "New Rhythms in Watercolor" group exhibition runs from today through 7/4 (Friday) at the Exhibition Room, Building 3, NFU's Second Campus. All are warmly welcome to visit.
