Mentored by art master Nagahara Koutarou, Mei Shu Li established his realistic art style and founded Tai-Yang Arts Association with Deng Po Chen, Shui Long Yen, San Lang Yang, Chi Chun Liao, Shi Chiao Li in 1934. Winners of many major exhibitions earned historical achievements in Taiwan western arts.

The early art style inclines towards impressionist and academic. However, it has evolved to the present realist natural and objective approach that focuses on the pursuit of lights and shadows. “Naked Woman” shows explicit performance in human skin texture. The artist’s excellent skills in oil painting sketch along with the perfect control of frontal and reflecting lights demonstrates impeccable texture performance. In the background, the artist used bold colors such as the red handle and blue cabinet to embellish the voluptuous body. The reflecting lights in the face is not as strong which shows that the artist is trying to emphasize on the beauty of the body.
