Shilin Riverlands, Taipei, Limited Edition Hand Drawn City Landscape Print

In 2023 I was approached by the National Taiwan Science Education Center to create a drawing of their museum building and the surrounding area. They wanted a snapshot of the area before it underwent large changes. They also wanted to highlight the area's historic and present day connections to the surrounding rivers. The drawing will form part of a permanent exhibition on the ecology and changes in Shilin opening in 2024. The area immediately around the museum has gone through a lot of change in the last 20 years. Large apartment buildings, the newly re-located Taipei Children's Amusement Park, the Astronomy Museum, and the large Meilun Park are all immediately next to the museum. The Keelung River and Shuangxi Rivers snake through it and are joined by several smaller streams. Nearby is the ruined Shilin Paper Factory, one of the few remaining industrial sites, and beyond that the dense night market area. There's a lot of variety in quite a small area: Everything from new wetland parks reclaimed from industry, to new cultural centers such as the Taipei Performing Arts Center and the Taiwan Traditional Theater Center. Beyond the towers of Tianmu District Yangmingshan seems to loom more vertically than in other areas of the city. A lone area of farmland holds out across the Shuangxi River with the Beitou Incinerator and Guanyinshan beyond. This is a signed limited edition print with an edition size of 30. It is printed on either high quality matte canvas with archival inks or an art paper with the same archival standards. Whichever material you choose it is part of the series of 30. The full size of the canvas measures 87 x 87 cm, however this size allows for the canvas to be stretched around a wooden frame. After stretching the size will be 77 x 77cm. The paper print measures 77 x 77cm in total and so is slightly cheaper than the canvas print. Some degree of custom sizing is possible. Delivery within Taiwan is free. Framing and delivery can be arranged, please message me for quotes regarding that. The listing pictures are of the canvas version
