Fire Master. Li Chen (李真). Sculpture. 2010.

Li Chen, born in 1963 in Yunlin, Taiwan, is a Taiwanese artist known for his bronze sculptures and oil paintings deeply infused with his own personal sentiment and the spirit and meaning of Eastern culture and religion. Before joining the military, he studied body sculpture in a workshop under Hsieh Tung-liang. He dedicated his studies to Buddhist and Taoist classics and religious art. His art career started when he was approached to produce traditional Buddhist statues for Buddhist shrines in the 1990s. While he worked on pursuing his own creative interests on the side, he found the process of creating these statues too restrictive. Li considers art to be an expression of creative desire from the heart, and through producing these statues, he did not see it as an act of subjective, artistic thinking. He does not claim these pieces made during this time to be his own creations. 

Li made his official artistic debut in 1999. His pieces are devotions to his spiritual contemplations and philosophical interpretations, and expresses his concern towards humanity, society and culture. Viewers will find that his artwork exudes a particular lightness in their visual tension between emptiness and fullness.
