Several “modern ink paintings” will be exhibited this time to show Lee Yihong’s discoveries and achievements in art, which will provide a great opportunity for the audience to have a better understanding of ink paintings in Taiwan and promote the art interaction of cross-straits. 
 
 
 
      Lee Yihong, born in 1941, Tainan, was once awarded the Sun Yat-senand Wu San-Lien Award for Arts &literature. Lee was the professor of Taipei National University of the Arts until he retired in 2007. He was highly respected in the art scene of Taiwan. 
 
      Lee’s painting career can be described as the transformation from tradition to the establishment of modernity. He was a student of Jiang Zhaoshen, who served as a research assistant in the department of painting and calligraphy at the national Palace museum, but he had a great sense of establishing his personal style to challenge the rigid and conservative tradition. Especially after 2000, Lee started to show the Calligraphy-like design in his work, and photography has become an important part of his creation. He embodies the mechanical eyes with the sentiments of the Chinese literati to keep opening up and experimenting on the texture stroke, media and techniques. Famous art historian Xiao Qiongrui remarked him “he epitomized the three directions of ink painting creation since the Republic of China”, and thought he marked the phase result of this age. 
 
      Famous art historian Shao Dazhen noted that “Lee has absorbed any nutrients and values that could nourish his creation, and his works are a natural combination of tradition, modernity and personality. His creation is based on reality, which has a strong flavor of life, but at the same time, it is beyond the reality with romantic sense, simple language and  elegance” 
 
      Even with the help of photography, Lee still focuses on creating paintings with ink and brushes with skills that he has accumulated for a long time. He takes charge of subjective and representative transformations between imitation and creating images and real scenes in his own personal style. As far as the process is concerned, the artist seeks to create paintings by using light. Lee has been developing various dynamic abstract and transformative innovations under the theme and premise of light, which is fully demonstrated in his many works. Some of the works he creates even displays diffused patterns of clusters crystals, or what is seen in a kaleidoscope——irregular changing patterns that are composed of many piece of colored glass. In spite of his eye disease, Lee becomes more firm as he grows older, and he pioneers a number of creative innovations of traditional ink art through the visual effect of photography and digital image. 
 
 
 
      “The Golden Coast -Lee Yihong’s Ink Paintings”exhibition declare the sublimationof Lee’s creation. From 21st November, art lovers are welcomed to view the 30-year process of Lee’s creation. The exhibition will last until 7th December.
