M☾ ☾NRISE

The theme of this exhibition is "Awakening Under the Moon." The quiet and depth of the night serve as the artist’s source of inspiration. Oamul, also known as 鹵猫, finds the light of creativity in the endless darkness. His works, created under the illumination of the moonlight, are filled with unique perspectives and depth.

Born in 1988 in Fujian Province, Oamul grew up in a serene natural environment, which deeply influenced his artistic creations. After graduating from university, he moved to Xiamen, where the seamless blending of the four seasons provided inspiration, gradually forming his unique painting language.

In 2018, Oamul was invited to serve as a judge at the Taipei Illustration Art Festival. Besides his artistic creations, he has continued to collaborate with many well-known brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, La Mer, Charles & Keith, and Shiseido. He also designed the "Education First" themed stamp for the United Nations Postal Administration.

In the past, Oamul has held numerous exhibitions and solo shows in cities such as Seoul, Xiamen, Beijing, Shanghai, and Taipei. In April and June of this year, 2024, Oamul held two large public exhibitions at Shanghai Chi K11 and Shanghai Ancient Tianhou Palace. In the second half of 2024, Oamul is also invited to hold a solo ticketed exhibition at the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA).

Oamul replaces intricate lines with vivid colors, using bold and bright tones to create a rich and delicate sense of layering. He creates a subtle yet intense visual tension on the canvas, leading the viewer into an infinite expanse of the mind, as if in a dream. The artist's unique inner landscapes guide the viewer into the fantastical realm of awakening under the moon, allowing one to soar freely between the night and feel the breath of the night and the fleeting changes of nature.

Artist Oamul will personally come to Taipei to inaugurate the exhibition. We hope that this exhibition, "MOONRISE," will offer a serene experience through segmented scenes, allowing everyone to experience Oamul's creations under the moonlight. We hope every visitor can find their own spiritual home in this dreamlike space and feel the purity and emotion brought by Oamul's art.
