Li Yuan-chia exhibition at the Winsing Art Place
Li Yuan-chia exhibition at the Winsing Art Place
2025-10-08
Today we take you to an exhibition on Li Yuan-chia, one of Taiwan’s earliest pioneers in abstract and conceptual art. On view are his works from the 1950s to the 1990s. The exhibition being held in Taipei features a wide range of media, including calligraphy, painting, low-reliefs, and more. FTV reporter Stephany Yang takes us in for a look!
On view are works by Li Yuan-chia that trace four phases of his career. His most celebrated pieces encompass painting, photography, installation, and poetry—each revolving around the symbol he created called the “cosmic point.” The cosmic point symbolized the origin and end of all things. He worked with four colors, each carrying deep symbolic meaning. Black signified both the beginning and the end, red stood for blood and life, gold symbolized nobility, and white represents purity.

He studied art in Taiwan and then he moved to Italy, and ended up in the UK. So actually, he only stayed in Taiwan for a very short period of time, but he was influenced a lot by his teacher, Li Chun-shan. This is why it makes his works so interesting. I think every work is a highlight but I especially like this work called "Pushing." It has a lot of collage, photographs, and even the artist wrote the poetry on the work. Most of his works are around the 1960s. Think about it, the early age of 1960, using a lot of brush abstract paintings into a modern artworks.
Li is an artist, poet, and curator. He is regarded as a trailblazer among Chinese artists for adopting conceptual art, weaving together Eastern philosophical traditions with Western abstraction. Throughout his career, he studied in Taipei, and worked in Bologna, London, and Cumbria, where he transformed a farmhouse into an art space, holding a variety of exhibitions. The exhibition in Taipei features his works spanning from calligraphy, painting, low reliefs, interactive works, hand-tinted photographs, and archival materials.

I have been collecting Li Yuan-chia’s work for almost 10 years. I think this is a very good time to show Li Yuan-chia’s works to the public because at the end of this year, at the end of October, there is the Taipei Biennale. There is going to a lot of curators, directors, and artists going to visit Taiwan. I think this is a very good time to show Chinese, Taiwanese artists to the world.
Li’s works will be on display at the Winsing Art Place until Jan. 18.

「李元佳個展」 文心藝所現正展出
2025-10-08
藝術家李元佳是臺灣抽象畫、觀念藝術的前衛開拓者之一。文心藝所推出「李元佳個展」，展出藝術家自1950至1990年代的作品，作品形式涵蓋書法、繪畫、淺浮雕等，一起來看看。
此次展出的作品，涵蓋了李元佳藝術生涯的四個階段。他最著名的作品包括繪畫、攝影、裝置和詩，每一件都圍繞著他研發的「宇宙點」。「點」象徵萬物的起源和終止。他運用四種顏色來創作，每種顏色都承載著深刻的象徵意義。黑色象徵開始和結束，紅色象徵鮮血和生命，金色象徵高貴，白色則代表純潔。

"他曾在台灣學習藝術，之後移居義大利，最後定居英國。其實他在台灣停留的時間非常短暫，但他深受老師李仲生的影響，這也是他的作品之所以如此吸引人的原因之一。我認為他的每件作品都值得關注，但我特別喜歡一件名為〈推〉的作品，這件作品融合了大量拼貼、攝影，甚至藝術家本人還在作品上寫了詩句。他的大部分作品創作於1960年代。想想看，在1960年代初期，他就已經將大量筆觸的抽象繪畫融入現代藝術之中。這也是為什麼，我認為介紹中國藝術家早期創作階段的作品，非常有意義"
李元佳是一位藝術家、詩人和策展人，也是抽象畫、觀念藝術的前衛開拓者之一，將東方哲學傳統與西方抽象主義融合在一起。在他的職業生涯中，在台北讀書，並在波隆那、倫敦及坎布里亞郡工作。在坎布里亞郡的時候，他把一座農舍改建為藝術空間，並舉辦了各種展覽。這次在台北的展覽的作品涵蓋書法、繪畫、淺浮雕、互動作品、攝影版畫及藝術家檔案文獻等。

"我收藏李元佳的作品已將近十年。我認為現在是一個非常適合向大眾展示李元佳作品的時機，因為今年年底、十月底，將舉辦台北雙年展，屆時會有許多策展人、導演和藝術家造訪台灣。我覺得這是一個非常好的機會，能夠向世界展示中國與台灣的藝術家。
李元佳的作品將在文心藝所展出至1月18日。
