Lee Sun-Don
Challenging himself once again, Master Lee Sun-Don uses 316 stainless steel and titian alloys creating a sublime sitting Buddha in the image of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin. In height of 56 meters, this statue is the anchoring design of the architecture located in Tamsui, New Taipei City. It will not only become a new landmark of northern Taiwan; it may even make a Guinness Record, becoming the world’s first and foremost of its kind.
Lee Sun-Don + Ma Sing Ling
Inspired by their respectful teacher Master Lee Sun-Don, the art trio Ma Sing Ling address the Buddhist doctrines in their painting and develop the “Qi series,” with which they illustrate how all existences of the cosmos are the manifestations of Qi and are capable of transformation. From the transformability, even between the concrete and the abstract, they realize how the truly great form is beyond form and not a form is definite in itself.

Equipped with the magic to bring fortune, they together lead us to the treasures of bliss and happiness.

Yachi Lai
What a joy when you push opening the window and see the view of art master Chang Dai-Chien’s splash-ink landscape painting. Needless to say, just sitting by the window, you feel relaxed and at ease – window is truly the charm of the place we called “home.” If there comes a pet’s company, it is even more soothing, adding a comforting benefit to the vicissitudes of life.

GOGO YU
Creation is no less than documentation of everyday life. Even though I set myself free of any thought while creating artwork, I examine myself with all my heart. I let my rebelling ego unleashed; I honestly face the fickleness of my personality. Reconstructing the fragments of memories, deconstructing the taken-for-granted, bidding farewell to my chaotic past, I move towards the light.

Small Sa
Small Sa’s work features a mysterious but soothing caricature style. Characterized with arc lines, geometric shapes, color blocks, and especially the “big hand” as her icon of care and love, her painting flows with musical rhythm and youthful momentum. For 2017, she presents the “Buddyseries,” inspired by the Buddhist idea of “dharma guardian”; she believes that all beings are sentient and spiritual, and they are guarding us all the time.

Ui Ui Liu
Ui Ui developed the series of “Tube” in 2016. Tubes as utensils for doing experiments in the laboratory are cold and icy, and distant from daily life. Ui Ui, however, added color to it to give the tubes some warm feel. This year, she adds the element of plant, with which she leads us to marvel at the genes of life and their fruition. Tubes are no longer alienated from us, but friends of humanity.
