Growing up in Keelung, Lian Jian Xing has witnessed the fall of fishery, mining and other traditional industries. The past prosperous industries gradually faded out, yet the fall brings out an amazing inspiration to him. Imagination without boarders but at the same time implementing eco-friendly care into his artworks is Lian’s mission as an artist.

Using green and gray as the main color scheme in 《Detect I》- gray is related to architecture; green is related to plants. With few people in the background; a pond of green in the middle; green streams of light in the bottom; or sunlight from above stopped the viewers from seeing what’s underneath the water. A black panther looking into the water and the ripple growing stronger as it approaches left a question that is unexplainable that kept attracting us. Even though the scenery is presented with a realist approach, it is actually ideal scenery that connected the picture and the systematic structure. This is a representation of magic realist style.
