LIN Yu-Ching & WEI Hsing-Yu

LIN Yu-Ching and WEI Hsing-Yu have been collaborating for over 15 years, creating an ecosystem in their works characterized by evenly distributed gradients that make the visuals rich and moist. This uniform color scheme bears similarities to tempera paintings before the invention of oil paints and the prevalent frescoes during the Renaissance. It instills a sense of calm and stability, as the artists patiently allocate tones and blocks of color, creating a balanced ecosystem amid the busy and compact rhythm of life. Their works exhibit a "synchronicity" akin to European religious murals, presenting a long story in a single frame, allowing viewers to both have an overview and savor specific chapters. Time follows the gaze, with something happening in every corner, providing the audience the freedom to explore and immerse themselves in the enjoyment of the art.

From the early stages of their creations, the artists conceived the character "Wulala" as a guiding elf and a projection of themselves into their artworks. Viewers are led into the fantastical and imaginative world of the artists through this character. This world encapsulates the artists' projection of the uncertainties of life and their fervent anticipation and imagination for the future. Over time, Wulala and its friends appear in more diverse states, serving as declarations of the artists' different emotional states. LIN Yu-Ching & WEI Hsing-Yu's works are accompanied by mysterious textual narratives, leading viewers into a more deeply hallucinatory world. These verses serve as the artists' emotional expression, attempting to unveil the hushed whispers in our minds covered by reality, depicted with intricate and microscopic details.
