Created by artist Liou Chen-chou, Rainbow Flowers is a public art that comprises 96 rainbow-colored flowers installed in the pool square in front of the Taiwan Ciaotou District Court.
This piece was inspired by the image of dark clouds drifting away and rainbows turning into raindrops before falling to the ground, forming colorful flowers. The artwork symbolizes peace and hope, imbuing the Taiwan Ciaotou District Court with a sense of joy and liveliness.
Due to the size of this pottery-base artwork, the difficulty and efforts involved with its creation were tremendous. Granule-like rough textures are retained on its surface with warm, elegant glaze colors added to evoke a sense of unadorned, restrained vitality.
臺灣橋頭地方法院前的水池廣場，漂浮著96朵彩虹花，正是藝術家劉鎮洲創作的公共藝術作品《彩虹花語》。
構想來自於彩虹，當烏雲散去後，彩虹化作雨水滴落地面，形成一朵朵繽紛瑰麗的花朵，象徵平安與希望，也為法院點綴出愉悅活潑的氛圍。
本件作品材質為陶，由於尺寸較大，在乾燥過程或升溫降溫時，常會出現龜裂現象，或於噴釉過程發生跳釉情形，這些狀況產生時都必須要淘汰作品重新製作，足見創作的困難度與藝術家付出的心力。此外，作品表面保留陶土粗糙顆粒質感，配合溫潤優雅的釉色，呈現出質樸含蓄的厚實生命力。
