Katy Bowman
Colour materiality and form are Katy's overriding concerns in a practice that encompasses a range of interests and approaches including site responsive interventions, installation, found object assemblage, embroidery, and collage. The use of recycled, domestic and light industrial materials are used to investigate a range of formal and conceptual concerns including light, perception, and materiality to imaginatively and physically engage the viewer in an experience and awareness of the relationships between objects, time and space. Katy's time at YSG will be to resolve and complete a large-scale work in which she will be investigating ideas around thresholds/facades, and ways of seeing, colour, time and space

In collaboration with Blender Studios and National Taipei University of Education, Department of Arts and Design, we are delighted to have  Cindy and Judy working in our studio space at YSG. 

Long Chen 
According to the manuscript of the perspective study of Durer, who is a mathematician and artist, it found out a transparent frame can be used to deal with the perspective corresponding relation accurately. However, his approach is drawn on the paper by comparison. "The Daily Intuition and Optical Illusion" is a direct way to record the picture in front through a special installation. It reduces the uncertainty of measurement. Less measurement is needed as the difference in focal length is increased during the sketching process. This kind of painting experience is different from sketching and painting in general. This program will also record other experiences such as the reaction of the audience when they are facing the installation. Based on this concept, Long sketches on the people and things he encounters to record his daily life and combining the intuitive track of different cities.

Jing-Wen Wang
​Jing-Wen (Joy) Wang is an artist from Taiwan. Joy records the story of her life through a paintbrush to express how she interprets the world.  A regular theme of Joy's work is to use a girl who is not good at communicating. In this girls world, she vents her state of mind as a journey, to gain happiness in her life. Joy believes that her work can heal a viewers’ heart and her own through the process of creation. 'I wanted to explore the soft, emotional parts of a human heart, and express them out with my works.' From this series of work, Joy expresses not only happiness but also a lonely heart.
