These budding painters include gray-haired senior citizens, divorced victims of long-term domestic violence, young prostitutes, workers disabled by occupational injuries, and immigrant brides from Southeast Asia. These economically and socially disadvantaged artists have escaped the bounds of traditional painting to give direct expression to their own feelings and experiences. Their work depicts a variety of subjects: the terror of an air-raid at the end of World War 2, childhood memories of a grandmother making offerings to the spirits of the dead, a disabled worker's pain at the loss of an arm, and even a woman bathed in blood during her menstrual period. Their realistic portrayals of subjects we've seen before or see now in the world around address topics historically overlooked by Taiwanese art while simultaneously helping their creators heal themselves and reclaim their right to interpret their culture for themselves.
