Evening Glimmer | Chen Cheng-Po Art
Evening Glimmer (Large Plate/Mug&Plate Set)

"Evening Glimmer" is a delicately embossed cup inspired by Chen Cheng-Po's "Sunset in Tamsui," capturing the historic charm of Tamsui through the lens of its iconic Gothic church. This piece artfully blends the serene beauty of the riverside town with the rich narratives embedded in its landscape, offering a sip of artistic and cultural heritage.

The "Evening Glimmer Mug and Plate Set," inspired by Chen Cheng-Po's "Sunset in Tamsui," celebrates not only Tamsui Harbor's 160-year history but also encapsulates the artist's distinctive style, which masterfully captures the evolving cultural and civilizational landscape of his time. Chen, celebrated for documenting the zeitgeist through his art, often portrayed the synthesis of the traditional and the modern. This set pays homage to the region's Christian heritage, sparked by missionary George Leslie Mackay's arrival, and the subsequent flourishing of ecclesiastical architecture. The mug's design, with its church window silhouette, frames the vivid world beyond in a way that is reminiscent of stained glass, while the white of the mug reflects the purity of the sacred buildings. Mirroring the Nihonga technique's blend of Eastern and Western artistic principles, this porcelain set serves as a vessel of historical narrative, much like Chen's paintings, which are treasured for their vibrant portrayal of Taiwan's rich cultural tapestry.
