Exposition：

“破曉 No.2” by Chen Ting Shih are bold prints of a masterpiece composed by four major blocks.  The semi-circular on the very left is surrounded by an irregular form in the middle, creating a feel of uncertainty.  The white traces created from the cracking texture create an even more dramatic effect.  The overall black space and black theme, the layout and size amplify the aesthetics. The larger sugarcane boards, colorless black tone, the manual print show a simple yet vigorous style.  Viewers can witness the extract from the essence of Chinese traditional art culture.
