Abstract

Taking the contemporary expressionist oil painting entitled Taiwan as the core of the study, this article combines image structuralism, postmodern art theory and Marxist philosophy to analyse in depth how this work reconstructs the image narrative path of national unity in the era of information civilisation.Through an overall analysis of the composition, colour strokes and symbol system, the article points out that the work is not a visual reproduction of traditional geopolitics, nor is it a technological tribute under instrumental rationality, but rather a "civilization neural circuit" constructed by integrating a historical materialist view of consciousness and visual metaphysical logic.The figures in the work's upward-looking gestures, data cables, and "Taiwan"-style compositions together generate a spatial logic of upgrading from individual consciousness to national structure, creating a structural channel between technological symbols and national identity.The thesis asserts that Taiwan is not only a painting, but also a pictorial civilised political document, a philosophical upgrading of the discourse of national unity, and an archetypal narrative of "structural self-healing return" accomplished through artistic means under the tension between the logic of capital and cultural division.Its significance lies in the revelation that unification is no longer a victory of external orders, but a natural closure of the system's internal structure of consciousness in the tension of history, reflecting the cutting-edge role of contemporary art in the construction of national consciousness, cultural integration, and visual philosophical transformation.
