Tamsui Scenery The third work, with a similar composition in which a river divides two banks, was done in 1965. Not far away, it includes Tamsui's famous Presbyterian Church. This was a spot for painting that many artists used. The tower of the church is visible to one side. Here, the stable mountain has been reduced to a narrow band of color at the top. The boundaries between the colorful buildings in the foreground are almost completely blurred, leaving soft and fluid patches of color that mix and squeeze together. Liao experimented with an abstract expressionist style as forms have been simplified into dots, lines, surfaces, or color patches. They seem to move on the surface in contrast to the stability of the forms, revealing another side to Tamsui as seen through Liao Chi-chun's eyes.
