Overview

Important Taiwanese sculptor Lee Kuang-Yu and iconic Singaporean painter Ng Yak Whee were born in the same year, and their artist careers, though differ from one another, are equally glorious. For the first time, they engage in an exchange and a dialogue between sculpture and painting in Taiwan. Coincidentally, both artists have used landscape to express feelings and philosophical thoughts evoked by natural environment. In addition to using landscape as their subject matter, with which they both resonate, the artists have also explored consistently artistic mediums: the painterliness in Lee’s sculpture and the openness in Ng’s painting have respectively enabled the two internationally renowned artists to utilize the common language of the contemporary world to express the perceptually comprehensible, infinitely thought-provoking yet highly indescribably connotations and realms in Eastern culture, which, when embodied through art, bring forth Sculpting Landscape and Painting Emotion, an exhibition featuring both Lee Kuang-Yu’s and Ng Yak Whee’s works that simultaneously demonstrate form, meaning, sentiment and intellect; manifest the coexistence of the real, the virtual, the substantial and the void; as well as what has stemmed from chance yet always been enveloped within this cosmos.
