TAINAN/TAOYUAN, Taiwan - Two Taiwanese artists - one who paints with his fingers and the other embracing the Japanese manga style – are taking inspiration from the drama of the island’s political scene ahead of a heated election on Saturday.
The vote pits President Tsai Ing-wen of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party against Han Kuo-yu from the Kuomintang party, which favors close ties with China. Kuang Yi, who calls himself the “mad artist”, fingerpaints next to a small lake in the artist village he built as a tourist attraction in the southern city of Tainan from hundred-year-old bricks. He said he tries not to take sides in his art.
On the other side of the island, in the northern city of Taoyuan, manga artist Wei Zong-cheng takes a less neutral approach.
