The little people under the brush of the street artist Candy Bird are wearing white shirts and tie, with slightly closed eyes and heads like sweet potatoes. They hide in Taiwan streets and foreign lands, with confused eyes, as if they are thinking about staying here or leaving the land... Candy Bird's works have rich artistic conception, telling us the stories of the countless people in the city.
Candy Bird's colored works are different from ordinary street artists who paint with simple lines with thick ore, but are particularly exquisite. This is because he outlines the lines bit by bit with the "pen" and then paints them with pigments. Moreover, it does not follow the fixed and repetitive totem pattern in the graffiti world, but uses characters as the center and cities as the context, thus deriveing its unique, magical and realistic style.
The theme he often adopts is the daily life of office workers. In the painting, they either move forward one after another, becoming one of the crowded crowds of get off work, or mechanized driving dough or taking a look at the news inadvertently... They are all simple and almost unchanged work itineraries. However, it is also in such a painting filled with fatigue that there are often embellishments of a lamp, a fire, and a flower, which makes the seemingly boring life implicit the hope of possible.
In addition to depicting the daily life of the city, Candy Bird further points out the absurdity, helplessness and bitterness in social phenomena through short texts, pointing to the daily fighting of the Legislative Yuan, criticism of the government, the withering of the old era and the situation of low-paying young people. Using pictures and text combinations, his works are combined with poetry and sharpness, staring at the society, and then making powerful questions.
Theme should be story-based and social, and be able to combine local street scenes. This is a major focus of street creation. Candy Bird makes better use of the original elements and extends and changes different visual effects. His works are no longer just staying on the walls, but spreading to the city stage, truly connecting with people.
not only paint on the wall, Candy Bird also uses diverse media to create, such as shoes, park chairs, glass, books, etc., to make the definition of "street" wider and penetrate into every corner of life. His works not only appeared on the streets and alleys, but also exhibited solo exhibitions in various art venues, and even appeared in the Taiwanese drama "Paradise on the Fourth Floor".
