李光裕(1954-)

LEE Kuang-Yu

Lee employs signature techniques such as “piercing” to break open the closed structure of traditional sculpture, creating a distinctive formal and conceptual language of emptiness. His works embody an “Eastern void” where self and object dissolve, offering not only profound aesthetic value but also a contemplative reflection on the human condition, imbued with contemporary social relevance.

The Force of Things

In essence Lee turns the sculpture inside out to enable a communion, a contemplative yet awakening union, between viewer, sculpture, and surrounding environment.
Text/ Renate Ferro

The Touch of Air

the multiplications of gestural interaction combine with the fragmentations of deconstructed form to lend Lee Kuang-Yu’s thinly thick sculptures the touch of their airy sensational resonance.

The Humanistic Sculpture of LEE Kuang-Yu

LEE Kuang-Yu started out with Western techniques as a foundation, and created large quantities of work with a deep understanding of eastern spiritual thought, while not missing out on the liveliness of the modern form.

The Open Void—On the Formal Language, Artistic Concept, and Contemporary Value of LEE Kuang-Yu’s Sculpture

it has incorporated the Oriental thinking and culture as well as its aesthetics, forming a highly recognizable, distinctive style and concept.

Viewing LEE Kuang-Yu from the spaces within

LEE Kuang-Yu’s new works initiate a further unique orientation of the spaces of his sculptural vocabulary. The former volume has dissolved and retreated from his forms.

時間。花園之間-從文本再現到地景凝視

李光裕是以更為輕鬆的態度進行這個地景創作。這件作品,沒有完稿的期效性、沒有他人期許的壓力,更沒有不斷超越自我的使命;而是一種自然而然的出手,順理成章的完成。大自然的四時變化是限制,也是開放,季節屬性需要配合,但是創作的時間永遠夠長,隨季節演變的自然景觀也夠豐富,容許更多的可能性在此發生。這個師造化的學習過程,以不同屬性的鋪陳舒展了藝術家內心不同類型的想望,也讓藝術家潛藏內心的豐沛能量,漸漸有了抒發

From the Physical Body to Bodily Force – A Discussion of LEE Kuang-Yu’s 2013 Paradigm Shift

The movements of this gargantuan are linked by a majestic, billowing force; and this mysterious force is given a magnificent, lofty name: it is known as the “élan vital”.
