LIAO Yu An biography | artworks | events

Born in Taipei in 1979 and won the "Taipei Arts Award” in 2003, Liao YuAn is a promising young artist in contemporary art. The making of his art is a deeply personal one, and the theme of alienation and isolation is beautifully described in his artworks. Liao has set about making art that began as a voyage of self-exploration and self-discovery and is now a comment on the society in which he lives. He made for himself a theater of possibilities that has embraced deeply personal moments of his life and his insecurities, as well as some astute observation on the society in which he finds himself as a young artist. The initial impression of Liao’s art is that it is humorous and that it is clearly informed by animation art, cartoons, and caricature, as well as a juxtaposition of geometries: the precision of colored horizontal and vertical lines for background and a random rolling line for figuration. It is a story of struggle within our minds and our everyday realities and in our relationships that will continue to repeat itself in an endless theater of possibilities.
