「我的結構本身作為抽象與實質的轉化功能，遊走其中，總是能感受到生命的踏實。」  - 李霽

意識畫廊在2021年末很隆重的呈獻以獨特植物裝置藝術創作聞名的李霽Leechi ，首次以 Fine Art 創作展出10件2021新作『Becoming』系列作品，分別是『民生日常』、『以前』、『神性』、『衣櫃』、『時間』、『實質上』、『性行為』、『坐擁權力』、『白華』、『免役系統』。以作品名稱帶出他從自身的經驗和對環境、社會性的觀察，他用溫柔和極詩意的結構調性表現出作品空間美感，而結合起作品的骨架是他的敘事和轉化的天賦能力。如其中『白華』（即壁癌）是因為台灣海島的地型特色，天候潮濕所致而產生，因為這種含水感造就台灣的曖昧不清的滋味，這種狀態就不若北歐的乾淨，李霽就轉化了這個觀察創作了『白華』。

李霽出生於台北，中原建築系畢，擅於進行一種具有概念性內涵的建構與發展的美學表現，重新給予多餘或廢棄的耗材新的生命樣貌和美學價值，曾以Hermès合作作品『未來博物館：消失的物種』一作，獲日本Good Design Award大獎，並以『無機體 Inorganic Mineral』系列 作得到2019 A' DESIGN AWARD金獎肯定。合作對象包含 Montblanc、Chanel、RIMOWA、RAW、誠品、忠泰集團 等，曾受到 TEDxTaipei 邀請於2019年會擔任講者，於2020年與勤美學森大合作策劃為期三天的生態學工作坊，並有個展《無機體》.....等。

為期40天的展期中，除了開幕會有李霽的親身導覽外，陸續安排藝術家面對面導覽及藝術論壇，敬請注意意識畫廊的官方訊息。

“My own structure serves as a transformational function between abstraction and substance. I can always feel the steady of life by wandering among.” - Leechi said.

At the end of 2021, Yesart Gallery grandly presents Leechi, who is well-known for his unique plant installation art. For the first time, he presents 10 new works of 2021”Becoming” series, which are “Daily life”, “Before”, “Divinity”, “Wardrobe”, “Time”, “Essentially”, “Sexual”, “Authority”, “Bai Hua”, “Immune system”. The title of the work brings out his own experience and observations of the environment and society. He uses gentle and extremely poetic structural tones to express the spatial beauty of the work, and the skeleton of the work is his natural ability to narrate and transform. For example, ”Bai Hua" (i.e. wall cancer) is caused by Taiwan’s island-style features and humid weather. This sense of moisture creates Taiwan's ambiguous taste. This state is not as clean as the Nordic ones. Leechi transformed this observation and created the work “Bai Hua”.

Leechi was born in Taipei and graduated from Chung Yuan Architecture Department. He is good at constructing and developing aesthetic expressions with conceptual connotations. Re-giving redundant or discarded consumables a new life appearance and aesthetic value. He once won the Good Design Award of Japan for his work "Museum of the Future: Disappeared Species" in collaboration with Hermès, and won the 2019 A'DESIGN AWARD Gold Award for the "Inorganic Mineral" series. Cooperation partners include Montblanc, Chanel, RIMOWA, RAW, Eslite, Jut Group, etc. In 2019, he was invited by TEDxTaipei to give a lecture. In 2020, co-planned a three-day ecology workshop with The Forest BIG, and a solo exhibition “Inorganic Mineral”.

During the 40-day exhibition period, in addition to the artist guided tour at the opening, face-to-face tour and art forum will be arranged one after another. Stay tuned for the official news from Yesart Gallery.
