In the 2024 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong (Booth 3D22), YIRI ARTS presents a solo exhibition featuring three distinct series of representative works- 'Inverted Syntax,' 'Delicate Sensibilities,' and ‘Another Place Series.’ – by Taiwanese artist Chen Sung-Chih. This presentation explores the artist's distinctive and literary approach to art, unveiling the hidden yet intimate relationships that reside within everyday experiences and the subtle way in which they dominate people's consciousness and perception.
Chen Sung-Chih (born 1978 in Nantou, Taiwan) holds a seminal position in the realm of large-scale installation art in Taiwan. He meticulously manipulates found objects that carry collective memories, employing techniques such as destruction, unveiling, and inversion to dissociate these objects from their mundane contexts and reveal their inherent materiality within the given space. Through deliberate arrangement and composition, the spatial installations presented to the audience are transformed into extraordinary and indefinable realms. This immersive experience calls for interpretation that relies solely on unfiltered sensory perception.
