Steven R. Barringer about Rainbow Family Village: “A beautiful and colorful small village in Taichung, Taiwan where almost everything in site is painted joyful colors. A sense of wonder and peacefulness is felt as you wander the tiny streets of this modest section of the big city. Bright lively colors call out to your inner child as you find what appears to be an endless seam of creative whimsical imagery. A must-see for any one in Taichung.”

Taipei (Taiwan), a city known for its cool and aloof demeanor, is often perceived as unapproachable, much like a cat. But beneath the exterior, there lies a fiery heart that yearns for love and attention. This is the inspiration behind the stunning red cat mural created by street artist LeHo Artwork, featured in the “Fuji-Dang Japanese Fresh Milk Tea” at the Taipei Light Festival.

Thanks to the efforts of Hu’s Art, the East District Business Association, and the Taipei City Government, the red cat mural has been brought to life as part of the “Art in the Store” project at the Light Exhibition Area. This warm and proud cat embodies the light of Taipei, with shining colors for all to see.
