The Rainbow Village in Taichung was painted by one veteran to save his community — now it’s a global art spot. What started as one man’s paintbrush has transformed into one of Taiwan’s most Instagrammable destinations. 🌈

#彩虹眷村

就讀學校時,曾經被藝術老師訓斥著說「連一個老爺爺都可以畫整個社區,為什麼你不行?」然而在十多年後來到台中彩虹眷村,看完後不得不說有被震撼到。雖然不是每個人都是天才,但老天爺是公平的。只要肯努力去做,不可能什麼都沒有!!

#彩虹眷村 #黃永阜

彩虹眷村,又稱彩虹村、彩虹藝術公園,是位於臺灣臺中市南屯區春安里的一處建築彩繪地景園。因榮民住戶黃永阜在待拆除的老屋上作畫,而有「彩虹爺爺」之稱,曾引發台中當地居民、支持單位與學生蔡克斯等共同發動「919搶救彩虹村」活動,經過幾次官民溝通,臺中市政府以市地重劃方式將該處闢劃為公園而保存,現址僅留彩虹爺爺黃永阜夫婦居住。 via 維基百科 https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E5%BD%A9%E8%99%B9%E7%9C%B7%E6%9D%91

STREET ART UTOPIA
台湾でいつもお世話になっている林さん夫妻と、去年の秋に #彩虹眷村#レインボービレッジ #rainbowvillage )で撮った写真。
村中に絵を描いていた #黄永阜 さんが、なんと1月23日に亡くなったそう。
初めてここに行ったのは2013〜2014年の年越し旅行のときだった。
台中に行くたびに訪れて、どんどん景色が変わっていくなーと思っていた。
黄さんがいなくなったから、いずれこの村はなくなるだろう。
とても寂しい。
