The Museum of Fine Arts Station Art Installation Project, supervised by the Southern Region Engineering Office of the Railway Bureau and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, transformed Chen Chi-kuan’s painting Ninety-degree Curves into a magnificent mosaic wall and floor creation at the Museum of Fine Arts Station.
Chen’s “roundabout artwork” series was inspired by a plane trip, where he experienced the skewed scenery as the plane tilted to one side. Such an experience led to the creation of many unique masterpieces. He subsequently created art from different perspectives (e.g., a bird’s-eye view and a worm’s-eye view), allowing viewers to experience landscape from different angles. An architect as well as a painter, Chen’s works embody the architects’ aesthetic taste, where he joins abstract concepts and ink wash painting materials together to give birth to new art.
近年推動臺鐵捷運化，鐵道局於各縣市增設許多車站，並配合工程辦理公共藝術設置，對於打造鐵道美術館成功邁向第一哩路。高雄美術館車站設置計畫由南部工程處與高美館合作，將高美館典藏的陳其寬畫作《九十度迴旋》化身成站體建築的一部分，巨型馬賽克由牆面延伸到地磚，氣勢磅礡。
迴旋系列作品來自陳其寬某次搭乘飛機經驗，因機身偏向一側，窗外景色隨之歪斜，延伸出一幅幅構圖極具特色的佳作，其以俯視、仰視等不同視點進行創作，由旋轉角度觀看地面的山水景色。身兼建築師與畫家的陳其寬，作品具備建築師的美學視野，融合抽象觀念，使用水墨素材，創造出一種新繪畫藝術。
