Tina Chen’s painting presents itself with joyful atmosphere. The image reminisced a magnificent visual feast with beautiful and delicious desserts accompanied by fine lace tablecloth. With the use of visual ambiguity mixed with humor, these foods contain hidden messages of human desires, while going back and forth between the unspoken words, and playing games of physiological super-ego and ego.
The mouthwatering desserts provoke reveries, while also fulfilling the viewer’s illusions and desires to be demanded of, and allowing the spirit to wander between “Food” (desire) and “Desire” (control). This is human’s nature of “eating and mating” at its peak. One should note that Chen’s celebration is not just a feast of desserts! To convey the collection of feelings, Chen uses delicate brushworks to create images of ingenuity, unexpected combination of colors, shapes and harmonies with many hidden surprises.
陳秋瑾的作品充滿著秀色可餐的歡樂氣息，可口的甜點配上精細的蕾絲桌巾，畫面呈現出華麗的視覺饗宴。利用視覺的曖昧性傳達詼諧的幽默，表現似有人類情慾的食物，作品呈現出來回在能言和不能言之間、視覺體驗和內心想像之間、心理學的超自我和本我之間。
「秀色可餐」的點心令人垂涎又充滿遐思，滿足觀者大腦中「畫餅充飢」的需求，勾引性靈迴盪在「食物」（期待）與「慾望」（節制）之間，此乃人類「食色性也」之本質，也是陳秋瑾擺設的饗宴中甜點不只是甜點的款待心情！為傳達這種心情，陳秋瑾以精細筆法來營造畫面，偶有靈光乍現的巧思，或色彩和造形兼具經意和不經意的遇合，或沉穩中帶有偶發效果的驚喜。
