The Dance of the Winner
In this painting, the artist uses varied paint marks and colors to build an expressive image of someone engaged in an athletic event. Here, Kuo illustrates a highly-trained athlete at the pinnacle of his sport, which is typical of this series.
Entertainer-turned-painter Kuo Yen Fu became a full-time artist in 2015, with paintings from his Suitcase series quickly garnering international acclaim. His compositions capture specific moments of action, most recently, through athletes in motion. With a bright color palette and fluid brushstrokes, Kuo captures the energy and rhythm of Sport, highlighting the dogged pursuit of excellence.
