Hong Yi Art Museum Introduction
Master Hong Yi graduated from Ming Dao High School's Department of Fine Arts in 1988 and began working in installation art in 1990. In 2000, he was selected to residency at the then most important contemporary art venue in central Taiwan, Taichung Warehouse No. 20. He is now an internationally renowned artist. His works are very colorful, often featuring animal shapes, which spark imagination and evoke the wonder of art! The museum includes some works he created during high school, as well as pieces he brought back from exhibitions abroad, including in New York and Washington, featuring many flat and three-dimensional sculptures. Hong Yi believes in the idea that "localization is globalization," thinking about the local style of Taiwan and symbolizing the nutrients of life and folk culture. He creates colorful, soft, yet solid cultural imprints on the hard inner steel. These symbols, such as floral fabrics, blessings, paper-cutting, and blue and white porcelain, are utilized flexibly, breaking free from the rigid and singular meanings traditionally held, generating more imagination and inclusiveness that can merge and link to new visuals and possibilities, showcasing a strong personal style. Hong Yi also symbolizes "museum" as a work of art, blending different architectures, materials, and elements under the concept of postmodernism. In a space of over a thousand square meters, old and new intermingle, functioning interchangeably to deconstruct the previous concept of the museum as a white cube, integrating more local colors and emotions.
