Art Taichung 2023
Highlight of the exhibition—Spanish artist Oton’s new pieces
Artist Oton excels at depicting iconic symbols in pop culture with an innovative perspective. He draws freely on cartoon characters like Mickey mouse much like a child. The line gracefully across the paper stroke by stroke, bringing each stroke to life vividly and clearly. Simultaneously creating satirical and mocking imagines to provoke contemplation among viewers. This constitutes the core mechanism of Oton’s creative process—an enjoyable job, a pure and innocent picture, free from rules, everything on the same level.
