EXHIBITION INFORMATION:

Li Yong-ming (ceramic sculpture)

Li Yong-ming’s art is a reflection on the lives of Taiwan’s aborigines, presenting the essence of the artist’s internalized humanistic care. It is the artist’s homage to traditional dignity as civilizations evolve. He uses simple, refined clay and glaze and firing processes that produce diverse forms while focusing on the life will of a group. In the interactions between his figures, tension guides the viewers, conveying humankind’s respect for nature and the loss of life experiences as civilizations evolve.

Lin Chen-long (modern ceramics and glaze)

In his unique forming techniques, the artist uses clay to produce forms and then bend, tear, cut, and combine the original form. With carefully fired glaze, he realizes the possibilities of form and technique in modern ceramic art.

Tseng Yung-hung (ceramic sculpture)

Because of his love for nature, his works have always centered on human interactions. In recent years, he has focused on the combination of people and nature. As he lives in Southern Taiwan, which is known for passionate people, the southern passion is an atmosphere that he creates when crafting his figures, which are “sculptures of warm colors.”

Tseng uses sculpting, painting, and overlapping colors to create colorful and meticulous elegance. The sophisticated appearance of his works is a contrast to their internal simplicity. By combining underglaze painting, colored glazes, and slip, he creates a contrast between glossy and matte surfaces. With this kind of contrast between glaze textures, the gloss conveys sophistication, and the matte gives a modest quality. In both luster and the lack thereof, the contrast forms an unexpected balance.

You Zheng-min (mineral teapot)

You Zheng-min pursues depth and innovation in the art of the teapot. He often uses mineral particles as decoration to introduce fine details in the grainy texture of the mineral clay. The liberated style and modest quality creates a harmony between the pot and the tea, building the unique features of the mineral teapot on traditional teapot techniques. The mineral teapot is made from natural minerals mixed with clay and a firing process. It contains natural hematite, quartz-containing kaolin clay, albite, biotite, and many other minerals, full of vitality.

Luo Ji-ming (stylized ceramics)

Luo Ji-ming focuses on adding patterns to stylized ceramics and uses various coloring techniques to highlight the uniqueness of his works.
