Mia Liu

​劉文瑄

Mia LIU is a visual artist who lives and creates in Taipei. After receiving her B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2007, she enrolled in the M.F.A program, Hunter College of the City University of New York. Her works have been exhibited across major art museums and art spaces and collected by many throughout Europe, America, and Asia, including the Uli Sigg Collection (Switzerland) and the Emile Hermès Collection (Taiwan). She probes into art practices via an open, liberal status like drawing. Through the traverse and collision of various psychological and physical experiences in life with the things in contact in the moment, she catalyzes a series of creations in search of “dialogues,” producing poetic scenes where everything is connected. Hence, while it is as if she produces visual art in diverse forms, ranging from spatial installation to paper sculpture, drawing, photography, video installation, botanical sculpture, etc., Liu roams in the midst of and connects them as one.

視覺藝術家,目前於台北創作、生活。 2007年於美國舊金山藝術學院畢業後,進入紐約市立大學杭特學院藝術研究所。作品於各大美術館及藝術空間展出,包括雪梨白兔美術館,北京中國美術館、布達佩斯德維格當代美術館、荷蘭CODA美術館、新加坡濱海藝術中心、韓國OCI美術館、台灣美術館及亞洲雙年展等。曾入圍2016香港Sovereign傑出亞洲藝術獎決選、參與蘇格蘭格蘭菲迪藝術家駐村計畫、獲選文化部甄選赴法國西帖國際藝術村。藏家遍及歐美、亞洲各地,包括瑞士烏里 · 希克藏品、埃米爾 · 愛馬仕藏品等。

以塗畫(Drawing)般開放自由的狀態切入藝術創作,藉由日常生活中的各種心理感受與身體感知,與當下所接觸的事物之間遊蕩撞擊,引發一連串尋索「對話」的創作,創造出與萬物般相連的詩意情境。也因此其視覺藝術形式看似多元發展,雖涵蓋空間裝置、紙張雕塑、平面塗畫、攝影、錄像裝置、植栽雕塑等等,實則悠遊其間一以貫之。
