Nestled in the hills of Taoyuan, Taiwan, the town of Daxi is rich in charm, history, and quiet beauty. Known for its traditional architecture, woodcraft culture, and riverside scenery, Daxi offers a timeless atmosphere that blends the past with the present.
In this book, acclaimed artist Gene Bond captures the soul of Daxi through over 70 black-and-white urban sketches and illustrations. From bustling markets to serene temples, winding alleys to baroque façades, each page invites readers into a deeply personal visual journey.
More than an art book, Daxi is a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of everyday life. It is a travel sketchbook, a cultural portrait, and a meditative reflection-ideal for art lovers, travelers, illustrators, and anyone who seeks to experience Taiwan through the eyes of an observant artist.
