Woman I 女⼈系列之⼀ Print

Ju Yi, a luminary in the Taiwanese artistry, embodies the essence of a "spiritual voyager," exploring self-discovery, nature, and societal reflection through her artistic expressions. With a Master's degree in Fine Arts Studio from Rochester Institute of Technology and a doctorate degree in Art Education from the University of Georgia, Ju Yi's artistic journey is fueled by a deep reverence for the human soul. Guided by this ethos, she ventured into Art Therapy, refining her artistic content through postgraduate studies at the Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy. Recognized as the Artist of the Month by London's Image Curators Advisory and selected as a featured artist for the prestigious 2024 Art FutureＸTaiwan Annual Art Fair, Ju-Yi has not only shared her insights through teaching in colleges in Hubei, Xiamen, and Taiwan but has also dedicated herself to scholarly pursuits. Yet, her passion for creative expression has only increased over time, leading her towards a steadfast commitment to her personal artistic pursuits. Ju Yi's art, profoundly influenced by Jungian psychology, reflects the essence of abstract expressionism. Her creative process involves a delicate dance between objective self-analysis and subjective self-expression. Ju-Yi often engages in a dialogue between the abstract and the figurative, chaos and longing, wildness and serenity. Through deconstruction and reconstruction, she gradually develops her unique perspective on the relationships between heaven, earth, humanity, and self, reflecting Eastern philosophy. Using free-flowing lines and color palettes reminiscent of medieval mysticism, she presents a spiritual dialogue between the inner self and nature crafting a captivating visual language. Her work has been honored with selection for inclusion in the Wallace Library Purchase Prize Collection" at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. Art, akin to a slender vessel, continues to carry Ju Yi's soul as she navigates the unknown. Collaborating with composer Chen Hsin-Lei in 2021 for the "Six Flavors - Sweet" synesthetic art performance, she transformed the auditory impressions depicted by romantic music masters Tchaikovsky and Borodin into visual soundscapes, creating a multisensory artistic experience that expands her creative horizons.
