As digital printing and modern cinemas dominate, the art of hand-painted movie billboards is vanishing. Yet, for over six decades, Hsieh Sen-shan—one of Taiwan’s last two remaining billboard painters—has kept the tradition alive.

With just five colors, his masterful blending techniques bring cinematic characters to life, making them feel almost real. Through his brushstrokes, audiences don’t just watch a film—they experience it.

For decades, his towering billboards have brightened street corners and theater facades, preserving the magic of the silver screen in bold, larger-than-life detail.

油漆畫水行俠 謝森山手繪電影看板一甲子

隨著數位印刷和現代影城的崛起，手繪電影看板這項傳統技藝逐漸被遺忘。謝森山身為全台僅存唯二的電影板繪師，堅守這項技藝超過一甲子。

他將僅有的五種油漆顏色，透過精湛的調色技術，變成栩栩如生的電影人物形象。透過他的創作，彷彿讓觀眾能夠觸摸到電影中獨特的情感與氛圍。數十年來，他繪製了無數電影看板，在他的畫筆下，每一幅作品都記錄了電影的故事與情感，留存於城市的街角與電影院門前。
