Art is a universal language that transcends the boundaries of time and space, guiding us to new realms of wonder and inspiration. It possesses the remarkable ability to heal, inspire, challenge, and bring joy into our lives. In this extraordinary exhibition, we gather once again at Art Taipei, celebrating the enchanting potential of art as a psychological support tool and a source of boundless joy.
 
Dorothy Circus returns with a curated selection of seven exceptional artists, each offering a unique perspective and approach to exploring the transformative power of art in contemporary society. Their works invite us to delve into the depths of life's mysteries, to embrace the limitless power of imagination, and to find solace from the daily stresses that surround us.
 
Let us embark on this artistic journey together, starting with Joe Sorren, a contemporary impressionist painter whose evocative works capture the whimsy and awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world. Through his paintings, we are transported to serene landscapes that radiate joy and tranquility, reminding us of the healing and transformative power of nature on our psyche.
 
Venturing into the realm of Japanese cyberpunk-inspired art, Kazuki Takamatsu presents hauntingly beautiful creations that explore the intricate relationship between technology and humanity. His thought-provoking pieces encourage us to reflect upon our place in a rapidly evolving world, pushing the boundaries of our imagination and challenging us to seek growth and understanding.
 
The enchanting Flower Bouquets by Thai street artist Alex Face, inspired by the "Vanitas" of the 17th century are infused with his unique perspective and personal artistic vision, rich with a refined and profound assimilation of European culture. Encapsulating and unveiling the contemporary symbolism of the transience of life, they place before us the stark contrast between present beauty and the concern for the fate of the future beauty. In a combination of painting techniques and crafted at once with the mastery of the great painters of art history as much as with that of the visual language of the most authentic contemporary, these masterpieces guides us through an emotional reading of darkness, illuminating with the light of fire and neon the secrets and memories that surface together in a roundabout of synapses with evocative and cathartic power.
 
Fatima Ronquillo, a Filipino-born painter, transports us to a realm steeped in art history's magical essence. Her ethereal figures and enchanting creatures awaken a sense of wonder within us, evoking a world where time and space are transcended, inviting us to explore new dimensions of existence.
 
Hanna Lee Joshi invites us into her captivating universe, where bold forms and vibrant colors converge to create a unique visual language. Through her whimsical and humorous paintings, she reminds us of the power of art to infuse our lives with joy and happiness.
 
Peca, our Argentinian surrealist painter, invites us to escape into a fantastical world of imagination. With playfulness and a touch of whimsy, her art encourages us to embrace the power of creativity and to find solace and inspiration in the magic of our own minds.
Finally, Paolo Pedroni, an Italian magical surrealist, unveils works that blur the boundaries between the mystical and the mundane. His paintings are laden with symbolism and mystery, beckoning us to explore the profound enigmas of life and the universe.
 
Together, these six remarkable artists present a tapestry of diverse perspectives, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the transformative magic of art. As you navigate this exhibition, take your time, and allow the artworks to transport you to new realms of wonder and inspiration. Let us celebrate the profound and magical power of art, rejoicing in its ability to uplift our spirits and ignite our imaginations. Thank you for joining us on this captivating artistic journey.
