INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION
Tai Lipan  

Artist Statement
In my recent hand-cut and layered wood paintings, light is used as
a metaphor for vulnerability, inevitability, commemoration, and
celebration. Many of the paintings symbolically depict the dramatic
collisions of weather, light and the landscape. Light beams on
vulnerable trees and fields, while impregnated clouds loom closely,
threatening or spilling over in tear-like drops.
In other works, light rains down in celebration as manmade
explosions illuminate the night sky. The fireworks commemorate
freedom while triggering smoke reminiscent of war and loss.
The painterly play between the drawing lines of the horizon and
the compression of the symbolic elements, in all of the work, is
strengthened through the relief process. Color, light and form
dance between illusionistic and literal layers enhancing the dynam
ic.​
