蘇頤涵 I-Han SU (Sylph SU)

1993 Born in 1993, New Taipei City

My work focuses on the unique experiences of individual lives and the pursuit of meaning. Through oil paint's fluidity and layered textures, I construct a mental landscape, attempting to explore the relationship between inner life and the external world. I seek answers to how individuals position and respond to themselves amidst the changes in time and space.

The unique "bird" symbol in my paintings is a transformation of the Chinese character for "human" combined with the image of a bird. By inverting it to form a bird in flight, I symbolize our existence in the world. And the surreal colors presented in the series symbolize the ethereal and dreamlike nature of our existence

Through painting, I confront the fragility of my existence, attempting to distil the depth of life from it. Every moment is unique, and every feeling is precious. I document the landscapes of my inner moments with my work, connecting each piece as a point, forming a line, and through the series, developing into a web strong enough to withstand the absurdity of the world. Each brushstroke is an inquiry into my desires and a perpetual journey of seeking meaning. By reconstructing the mental landscape, I invite viewers to enter and engage in dialogue, exploring the mental world that is neither barren nor absurd.
