Abstract:
Originating from printing technology, printmaking has long served as a crucial medium for cultural transmission, historically contributing to the dissemination of civilization, religion, literature, and art. While it remains an essential component of commercial practice, printmaking, when embraced by artists, becomes a medium of boundless potential—capable of embodying imagination, thought, and innovation.
As an artist deeply engaged with this medium, my practice investigates a unique artistic trajectory achievable only through printmaking. Informed by the discourse of contemporary art, my work continuously experiments with redefining the role and position of the printmaker in the current art landscape.
Since 2019, I have collaborated with Dr. Chien-Kuo Hsu (徐建國)of the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute (台灣林業試驗所)on an interdisciplinary project that examines the material and conceptual relationships between paper, printmaking, and ink. The project challenges two traditional assumptions: that ink is indispensable to printmaking, and that paper serves solely as a substrate for content. By removing ink and denying paper its conventional role, we sought to explore what remains when both materials are allowed to exist as pure aesthetic entities.
This experimental process, spanning over three years of repeated failure and redefinition, culminated in the 2023 exhibition Flora of Formosa at Gallery de Sol (曜畫廊) in Taipei and the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute. The project returned paper to its most elemental form, inviting viewers into a space where paper is no longer a passive receiver but an autonomous artistic presence. This research proposes a new model for understanding printmaking’s potential in contemporary practice—one that positions the medium not merely as reproductive but as fundamentally transformative.
