Ebu Estandar: Dreams of the Soul: Paintings, Prints, and Textile

Thu 16 January - Sat 1 March

The Robert Cripps Gallery

Many people ask me why I am always so happy and optimistic. I think it is because of the life I’ve lived. Growing up in the mountain jungle of Namasia, Taiwan, steeped in tradition, surrounded by nature and full of magic and mystery. My childhood way of life filled my soul with ideas and ideals. Today I live a more modern existence. The vivid experiences that moulded me so long ago have faded to memories, stored away in a corner of my mind, there but not there, like dreams. They surface every now and again, coming to me like dreams in a mix of light and sound, words and pictures, poetry and paintings. Like pieces of a puzzle I put them back together to create my paintings. - Ebu Estandar

Ebu Estandar comes from an aboriginal village in the mountains of Taiwan called Namasia. She is one of eleven children and spent most of her childhood secluded in the village where she was born. She left the village as a teenager to go to school in the city of Tainan. It wasn’t until her early twenties that she discovered her true passion for painting. She hasn’t looked back since, continuously putting on canvas her life experiences, feelings, memories and endless inspirations. As an adult she has spent many years living in Mexico and the UK, where she has continued to paint, influenced by her ever changing surroundings. Ebu mostly paints oil on canvas, but she has also turned her hand to many different expressions of art. She has held exhibitions in Taiwan, Mexico and the UK. Each one has been different and unique to Ebu’s life. She is a member of the Cambridge arts studio and the organisation of female Taiwanese artists. You can see more of her paintings on her website: www.ebuart.com
