李吉祥 Lee ChiHsiang Taiwan, b. 1983

台灣藝術家李吉祥鑽研照相寫實主義,運用油畫技巧,以窗花玻璃作為一種攝影鏡頭的概念在現實中取樣,並透過繪畫的召喚,描繪窗後模糊、詩意、消逝的光景,並重新思索與窗前觀看者的關係。李吉祥以寫實的風格處理壓花玻璃的質感,同時為了創造視覺觸感,在繪製重複花紋時,留下了極其細微的抖動與不穩定痕跡,與數位相機鏡頭所捕捉的失焦狀態形成某種對話。藝術家以油畫描繪的方式呈現物件失焦的再造,而玻璃上折射、漫射、模糊的效果,賦予窗前與窗後兩種不同意義的時空,讓觀者得以有更多的想像空間。李吉祥目前工作並生活於台北,台灣。近年重要個展包括:《李吉祥:殘焦》,亞紀畫廊線上展廳 (2021)、《青花》,當代一畫廊,台北,台灣、《微小的聲音》,木木藝術,台南,台灣、《來過》,木木藝術,台南,台灣等。重要群展包括:《迷失在那種潛伏中》,木木藝術,台南,台灣 (2021)、《島嶼之間|臺灣 西西里文化藝術交流展》,居藝廊,台北,台灣(2018)、《水果、花朵、物與其他》,双方藝廊,台北,台灣 (2018)等。

 

Delving into photorealism, Taiwanese artist Lee ChiHsiang utilizes stained glass as a conceptual lens within reality through the modality of oil painting. The artist captures the subtleness of obscure objects behind windows, rendering them in a manner that is both poetic and evanescent, and further reconsider the relationship between the viewer and what lies beyond the window. To capture the tactile texture of embossed glass, the artist intentionally introduces subtle tremors and instabilities into his paintings, creating details that differ from what's captured by digital camera lenses. The blurred scenes, which provide more room for viewers' imagination, thereby become a pivotal aspect of the artist's visual language. Lee currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan. Important solo exhibitions include 《Lee ChiHsiang:Lingering Focus》, Each Modern, Online Viewing Room (2021);《Blue and White》, A Gallery , Taipei ,Taiwan (2020);《Soft Sound》, MuMu Gallery , Tainan, Taiwan (2019);《Have Been Here Before》, MuMu Gallery, Tainan, Taiwan (2016). Selected group exhibitions include 《Lost in the Latency》, MuMu Gallery,Tainan,Taiwan (2021); 《IN BALANCE: Taiwan — Sicily》, G.Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan (2018); 《Fruit, flower, object and others》, Double Square Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan (2018).
