After a solo exhibition in 2011, 'Plastic Cream,' this is for Taiwanese pop artist, Lai Chiu-Chen's new work series 'Rainbows X Sugar X Goblins.'

Lai has always painted only those things that he can see, as perhaps for him that is the only means of creativity that is real and will never fade from the popular imagination. The Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) once said: Completely opposing new art forms appear precisely when the old forms are just reaching their peak. Perhaps we can expect Lai to create a radically different result and appearance within the contemporary arts environment based on this ancient artistic imperative.
