Observing to the society of Taiwan, the author intends to communicate with the viewers through his paintings and creation techniques. 　　Since Taiwan is geographically an island country, it has been greatly influenced by foreign cultures. Though Taiwanese culture is originally an extension to the Chinese traditional culture, since Taiwan experienced decades of being a colony of Japan and KMT accepted the help from the US, it shows tremendous Western influences nowadays. As a result, Taiwan is under a Postcolonial condition. The international position of Taiwan is still unclearly defined, and even the Taiwanese are uncertain about thein political sovereignty. These confusions have been reflected in Taiwan’s mixed culture. Having grown up under this condition, the author intends to sum up the features of Taiwanese culture by doing research and creating works of art. 　　This essay is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is the introduction to the purpose of the author’s research and artistic creation. 　　In the second chapter, post-colonialism, both the history and the cultural history of Taiwan are discussed to build up the theoretical base of his works of art. 　　In the third chapter, the author discusses his concept of panting firstly the symbolic meanings of the frequently depicted objects in his paintings and the media and techniques of artistic expression. 　　In the fourth chapter, the meanings backgrounds, media of creating and structured patterns of the author’s individual paintings are analyzed and discussed. 　　Lastly, the fifth chapter is the conclusion about the author’s experience and contemplation of the artistic creation, as well his pursuit of further development.
