Chiao-Ling PO

At first sight, looking at Po, Chiao-Ling’s work feels like appreciating a historic relic. However, upon closer inspection, one will realize that it bears elements of modern songs, travel literature, philosophical ideologies, famous quotes, social movements, and other contemporary subject matter. Like a time traveler from the past, the nostalgia of literati and everyday context of the combination of “poetry, calligraphy, paintings, and prints” passed down from ancient times has been embodied in the present where it continues to exist.
