廖以歆 Liao I-Chin

I-Chin Liao was raised in Taipei, living in Hsinchu, Taiwan. In 2013 she had graduated in M.F.A from Academy of art university, San Francisco. Now she is focusing on abstract painting. IChin would like to expand the form of artwork from her used painting in the residency in Mite-Ugro, Korea. “60 Encounters”, is a poetic idea of recording everyday life in unfamiliar surroundings through collecting objects and incidents during the two month residency, which includes found objects, sculpture, painting, photography and video. The body of works reflects my observation of surroundings and the further psychological transformation through the process of converting the “encounters” into the 60 artworks. The intention of the project is to enable local viewers to detach from their familiar environment and to discover their surroundings with fresh eyes. I-Chin Liao has been selected as the artist of “2016 Bamboo Curtain Studio Residency Program”, her residency at Mite-Ugro in Korea for two months residency starts from 5th September.
