Original Description
Chen Cheng-Po’s The New Building in Tainan (1931) is a radiant celebration of Taiwan’s early modernist architecture, infused with the artist’s signature post-impressionist warmth. The painting depicts a sunlit, geometric building—likely Tainan’s iconic Hayashi Department Store—rendered in bold, rhythmic brushstrokes and glowing ochres, corals, and blues. Chen, a pioneer of modern Taiwanese art and member of Taiwan’s influential Taiyang Art Society, blends Western techniques with a distinctly local sensibility, capturing the optimism of 1930s urban progress. The interplay of light and shadow, coupled with the dynamic angular lines, reflects his academic training in Japan and admiration for Cézanne’s structural clarity. Today, this work is revered as a cultural touchstone, symbolizing Taiwan’s artistic and architectural modernization under Japanese rule, while its vivid palette and compositional balance place it among Chen’s most iconic cityscapes.
For interior styling, The New Building in Tainan would anchor a space with mid-century modern or Japandi aesthetics, where its warm hues harmonize with natural wood tones and minimalist furniture. Position it in a sunlit office or living room to amplify its lively energy; a matte gold or black frame would accentuate its modernist lines without competing. Opt for a medium-to-large display (e.g., 60x80 cm) to preserve detail visibility, and pair it with terracotta accents, indigo textiles, or potted greenery to echo its earthy yet vibrant palette. Avoid cluttered surroundings—let the painting’s architectural subject inspire a clean, functional layout, perfect for creative workspaces or lounges seeking a balance of heritage and contemporary flair.
