Exposition：

Since the 1980s, Tang Mao-Lin has gone through many turnings in his art, but his sharp observation about the political, social and multi-cultural situations of our time and his pursuit of autonomy through his art never fades.

His story started from the tragic heroes in his “Myth Series” in 1986, right before the government’s abolishment of Martial Law. The “Myth Series” consisted of icons presented in a style not unlike the Trans-avant-garde Ialienne neo-expressionism. The human parts in his paintings are used to narrate myths long lost in history. Because unidentifiable, these myths are represented and reinterpreted by the artist. In the post-Matial Law ear, Yang’s “Gaming Behaviors” in 1987 revealed the inseparable relationship between violence and power, which put the perfect footnote to Taiwan’s political climate under the Martial Law. The gaming behaviors the artist referred to was the power struggle in those days.
