Overview

His art is not only sculpture in simple sense of the word
But poetic melody and philosophical meditation.
Perhaps we do not understand Lee Kuang-Yu enough.

 

His thinking follows not the cascading flows of contemporary art,
But classicism in continuation and humanism revived.
Perhaps we do not understand Lee Kuang-Yu enough.

 

His stance is not mere nonchalance detached from the mundane world,
But persistent defense and indomitable resistance.
Perhaps we do not understand Lee Kuang-Yu enough.

 

His life comprises not lyrical seasonal cycles in nature
But solitary grace and bittersweet beauty.

 

The equally lonely Nietzsche proclaimed through the mouth of Zarathustra, “God is dead” –
A statement calling to the world that people should believe in the self rather than being bound by “the absolute truth.”

 

In the same way, Lee Kuang-Yu tries to awaken us through his sculpture:
Art is not to be worshipped; art is what flows from within.

 

–Yang Pei-Chen (PhD in Fine Arts (sculpture), University
