In Search of SPiritual Space
The Taiwanese sculptor Li Chen seeks to make art that has a spiritual space fixed within its powerful physical presence. By bringing the spiritual and the sculptural together in his figurative and narrative work Li hopes that the philosophical nature of his work will enrich people's lives. While his art is of a deeply serious nature, his fusion of traditional Buddhist styles and contemporary ideas has resulted in work that is both humorous and full of irreverent wisdom, as well as brimming with the vitality of life and its unpredictable nature.
an excerpt from a text by Ian Findlay-Brown in the book "LI CHEN – ENERGY OF EMPTINESS",
the artist's solo exhibition at 52nd International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, 10 June – 21 November 2007.
