Xiang Hua Tian GP DEVA strives to support emerging Taiwanese artists
Skyline Grand Prix 13, which has continuously sponsored the Taipei Art Fair for 13 years, not only actively provides a good platform for global artists but also strives to support emerging Taiwanese artists, bringing Taiwanese cultural and creative industries to the international stage. Among these is the art of high-speed racing – "Neo-Classical Art Supercars," which successfully combines art with supercars. This has elevated the industry of cross-industry collaboration in cultural and creative fields to a new level.
Xiang Hua Tian GP DEVA excels at transforming Professor Li Shandao's totems, created by the group's art director and pioneer of totem oil painting, into eye-catching fine crafts. For example, the renowned Totem Energy Jewelry, meticulously crafted by Taiwanese master artisans, outlines exquisite curves. These pieces are not just accessories; they can also be treasured heirloom art collections. Vice President Lin Manmei stated that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Xiang Hua Tian Group. The cultural and creative art zone is launching a limited edition 20th-anniversary gift, "Great Fortune and Wisdom Pure Vase," along with 20 art masterpieces. All inspirations come from Professor Li Shandao's creations. At the VIP reception on May 4th, six of these pieces were already acquired.
This year, as Sky Land Group celebrates its 20th anniversary, the Cultural and Creative Arts Zone is exclusively launching the "Great Fortune, Wisdom, and Pure Vase" as a 20th-anniversary gift.
Oriental Astrology + Plant Extracts, Birth of 20 Lucky Floral Perfumes
The West has brilliant constellations, and the East has mystical star mansions. The popular "Good Fortune" floral perfume, created by GP DEVA, is the first of its kind from Xianghuatian's plant-based skincare. It draws inspiration from ancient Chinese civilization and blends the profound mysteries of Zi Wei Dou Shu's "star mansions" to create 20 lucky floral perfumes. Bloom with fragrance, ignite your starlight, and let the language of flowers guide you to reveal your unique charm. Discover your exclusive fragrance and welcome good fortune!
"AI 20 Astrological Charts" generates AI art based on the personalities represented by constellations, using today's popular AI art generation. It explains the characteristics and scent frequencies of 20 constellations, including Ziwei, Tianji, Tianliang, Taiyang, Taiyin, Lucun, and Hongluan, in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. The public need not worry about not being familiar with Ziwei Dou Shu. For example:
"Zi Wei": The Emperor Star, immensely wealthy and noble, bestows blessings and averts disaster. Its corresponding frequencies and scents are: Rose Dew, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil, and Sandalwood Essential Oil.
"Wen Qu": Frank and upright in character, learned and multi-talented, highly appreciated. Frequency aroma is rose dew and cypriol essential oil.
"Red Phoenix": Frequently receives auspicious celebrations, wealth and prosperity increase. Men gain beautiful wives, and women gain noble husbands. The frequency scent is rose dew and elemi essential oil.

The art world's "Tenmoku Exhibition" with the artist present for the entire duration.
The grand finale highlight of the cultural and creative arts district is the "Mystical Eye of the Universe - Tenmoku Special Exhibition" by the preeminent master of ceramics, Mr. Jiang Yu. The artist will be present throughout the event, explaining the beauty of Tenmoku to distinguished guests.
The "Marvellous Eye Series" by Teacher Chiang utilizes Taiwanese soil and a unique artistic method to create exclusive black clay for Taiwan. The layered colors resemble a cosmic marvel. Due to its extreme difficulty and high failure rate, each piece is one-of-a-kind, making it highly sought after during VIP guest nights, with many pieces already acquired. Teacher Chiang Yu jokes, "The production process is truly not easy! It took over 20 years of my ceramic art career, enduring countless painful failures and accumulating experience to successfully fire these pieces! This time at the Taipei Art Fair, we hope to offer them at a promotional price so that the public can gain a better understanding of Taiwanese ceramic art."
The artist Jiang Yu was present the entire time to explain, allowing the public to appreciate the beauty of Taiwanese pottery.
VIPs enjoy the AR world
There's another hidden gem: at the Xianghua Astronomical Cultural and Creative Art Zone, guests can not only enjoy tea and art but also immerse themselves in an AR world! With a scan of the AR app, the three paintings on the exhibition wall, each representing spring, summer, and winter, will "come alive," instantly revealing a whole new perspective! Under the guidance of the on-site staff, every guest was thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Xiang Hua Tian Brand Director Zhang Cuifang specifically mentioned that the curated collection of Taiwanese aged teas and the five "Taste the Seasons: Tea Melody Enjoyment Banquet" concerts prepared for VIPs are "sabi sabs" (a Japanese term for a treat or perk), offering Taipei New Art Expo guests a five-sensory feast. From May 5th to May 8th, the public is sincerely welcomed to visit the "A4 Culture and Art Expo Booth" at the Taipei New Art Expo to savor tea and enjoy music!
