Hide and Seek

Lin Yu-Ching and Wei Hsing-Yu, a duo of artists from the first class of seventh grade, have been creating together since their student years, and their artwork leaves a profound first impression on people, often described as "vibrant, intricate, and imaginative" by collectors and viewers. Their works are filled with a plethora of self-created elements, using meticulous brushwork and subtle gradient colors to merge various objects and characters into a complete and beautiful fantasy space. However, when we gather multiple pieces of their work, they might also be part of a continuous story with a sense of time. It's as if they have the ability to create one parallel universe after another. These artists skillfully use their imaginations to compose a peculiar world. Clothed in rainbow-colored souls, Sprinkling magical, enchanting perfumes, Golden unicorns with abilities, Elves living at the end of the rainbow, Fanatically obsessed with the future held by the golden key, The legendary future's colors and scents exist intuitively, Holding a secret that is both close and distant, —"Rainbow Horse" Lin Yu-Ching and Wei Hsing-Yu have a habit of writing poems for each of their paintings. Through these thought-provoking lines, we can discover that these two artists don't just choose titles for their works, but rather engage in a form of "visual thinking": they are touched by the present moment, then use their brushes to depict the most direct and sincere feelings, and finally, condense the ripples in their minds into words. Through both the imagery and the text, they allow the viewers' real-world surroundings to resonate with their art: the images narrate the artists' immersion in the fairy tale, allowing people to wander within it, while the words convey their whispers about the surroundings and real-life experiences. With a dual infusion of sensuality and readability, it seems that we come to understand the true intentions of these two artists – they attempt to express the escapism, inner uncertainty, and insecurity that people feel in today's busy society. Through their artwork, we can't help but admire the precision with which this young duo creates atmosphere and meaning, providing visual and intellectual satisfaction. Lin Yu-Ching and Wei Hsing-Yu have demonstrated their solid artistic skills and received widespread acclaim. They have exhibited their work multiple times at international art fairs and have been recognized by institutions such as the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the Yinchuan Contemporary Art Museum in Ningxia, the Liang Jiehua Art Foundation in Hong Kong, as well as numerous collectors from around the world who have appreciated the efforts of these young artists. It is indeed a rare accomplishment.
