吳逸寒 Yih-Han WU (b.1982)

生於德國司徒加特，畢業於國立臺北藝術大學和慕尼黑藝術學院。

長年旅居德國，並深受北方文藝復興與法蘭德斯繪畫怪誕冷調與細膩平滑的繪畫質感 吸引的吳逸寒，關注於如何從深遠的繪畫歷史中學習並延續大師的繪畫脈絡。吳逸寒 的作品中，簡單的畫面看似是頗為客觀的描摹，但實際上是有非常多個人主觀的安排。 她相信藝術就像音樂，同一個大師的樂譜，每個演奏家都可以有不同的演繹。所謂詮 釋技巧就是修辭學，同樣或不同的媒材有不同的技術可以鑽研，而不同技術的表現方 法可以闡述不同或是相同的事物和內容。

另一方面，身為一個女性主義者，吳逸寒卻不希望把自己的身分定義為女性藝術家。 因為她不是只關心在同一界線內的性別，也同樣關心許多關於人的問題，關心社會， 關心平權，關心環境，等等。她相信繪畫是表達的工具，它可以用來敘述、謾罵、諷 刺，但當任何一個職業需要冠上性別的時候，真正的公平就不存在了。

她的展出經歷包括 I SEE YOU, 臺中 (2019)、Takeda Art Co., Tokyo (2015)、 高雄駁二藝術特區, 高雄 (2015)、YOSHIAKI INOUE GALLERY, Osaka (2014)、 KunstPavillio, 慕尼黑 (2012)。

吳逸寒 Yih-Han WU (b.1982)

Yih-Han WU was born in Stuttgart, Germany, graduated from National Taipei University of the Arts and Akademie der Bildenden Künste München. She lives and works in Taiwan.

After living in Germany for a long time, WU has adopted influences from the Renaissance of the North and the style of Flemish paintings, but she aims to contemplate how she’ve learned from art history rather than renouncing the hisotry and language. WU believes techniques in painting is like rhetoric. There are several materials and techniques could be delved into. There are also multiple ways of representations to interpret the contents and the objects with diversity and similarity. The outcome could be drastically different but with an identical intension.

As a feminist, WU rejects to be called and classified as a female artist because she is not only concerned about gender issues, but also cares about matters relate to humans, society, equality, environment, and more. For her, painting is a tool of conveyance that allows her to narrate, to condemn and to satirize. She believes justice will never be served when gender is addressed in front any profession. This became the heart of her works.

Selected exhibition include I SEE YOU, Taichung (2019), Takeda Art Co., Tokyo (2015), The Pier2 Art Center, Kaohsiung (2015), YOSHIAKI INOUE GALLERY, Osaka (2014), KunstPavillio, Munich (2012).
