About Yuan Hui-Li

#2014.06.14 Plural Landscape_Portrait_05.jpg

Yuan Hui-Li is a contemporary ink artist from Taiwan. Delving deeply into the tradition of landscape painting, she deconstructs the established frameworks of tradition through different creative projects, with each project giving rise to several distinct bodies of work. These works engage with questions of subjectivity identity, using feminine writing to subvert the patriarchal principles of tradition, while also opening up new ways of thinking, in both medium and form, that depart from the past. Yuan holds that the renewal of form is indeed essential for ink painting to move toward modernity, but that innovation in meaning and content is the very core of what makes ink contemporary. As a result, her artistic practice is not only broad and diverse in scope but also more fully imbued with a contemporary spirit.

​

​袁慧莉是台灣當代水墨藝術家,她深入傳統山水畫領域,從不同創作計畫解索傳統既有框架,成為不同作品系列。這些作品不僅涉及到自我主體認同,以陰性書寫顛覆傳統父系法則,更從媒材與形式展現不同過往的思維視野。她認為形式的更新固然是水墨走向現代的要件,但內容意涵的創新才是水墨具有當代意義的核心重點。因此,她的創作實踐面向不僅寬廣多元,而且更具當代精神。
