The Kaohsiung Branch moved from the original buildings located at Fuxing 1st Rd., Xinxing Dist. to the new location on December 2, 2019. On its first anniversary, the Branch invited 4 painters from the local community, Dr. Yung Yu, Wu; Mrs. Li Ying, Chen; Mrs. Ai He, Tang and Dr. Pi Chou, Cheng to hold the “Joint Exhibition of Paintings–Love Grows in Our New Home” to shorten the distance between the Branch and communities.
The painter Mrs. Ai He, Tang is deaf in the right ear before she devoted herself in the art and painting and created a splendid and colorful life. She and her husband Dr. Yung Yu, Wu are called the “Couples in Love” in the field of art in Kaohsiung.
Mr. Tang learns painting from Mrs. Li Ying Chen who teaches at the Art Center of National Kaohsiung Normal University. Mrs. Chen’s husband, Dr. Pi Chou, Cheng, who is also a professor at Fooyin University. The Kaohsiung Branch is very honored to invite the teachers and doctors from the community to hold a joint exhibition of painting at the Branch.
There are 31 paintings in this exhibition. 5 of them are the works of Mrs. Tang, painting
the scenes of Kaohsiung Gas Explosions. On July 31 and August 1, 2014, several serious gas explosions happened at Sanduo 1st Rd. and Wuqing 3rd Rd., Lingya District, and the National Development Council thought that if a government agency moves into the district, it could drive the business opportunity in nearby areas and increase the effectiveness of the rebuilding of the areas. Therefore, on September 9, 2014, the National Development Council reviewed and passed the construction plan of the new office building located at No.2, Chengnan Street, Lingya District submitted by the Kaohsiung Branch and accelerated the schedule of moving to the new office building of the Kaohsiung Branch.
The Kaohsiung Branch hopes to exercise the power of public agency and bring new energy to the communities. The Branch also hopes that the public who love paintings can find warmth and inspiration from the works of the four artists, and love grows in the new office of Kaohsiung Branch!
The exhibition period of the paintings ends on March 31, 2021. AEA cordially invites everyone to appreciate the works created by the painters from the local community exhibited from the 1st floor to 4th floor of the Kaohsiung Branch.
