My childhood's summers at the lake certainly created in me a deep fascination towards Nature, and water in particular. Attracted to the arts by nature, I started painting landscapes in 1978, for a few years in a realistic manner and technique, in the studio, then towards 1980, the heart starts wanting to take over strict optical realism. And then, in 1983, Paris. Monet, Cézanne, Manet: the shock of color, the revelation of light. I begin to look for an interpretation of the subject in small vibrant brushstrokes. I now see the play of light and shadows, and become fascinated by nature's endless ''motifs'' and myriads of hues. Self taught until 2005, I then find in renowned artist Chui Wang a master who will enrich my works with subtlety and depth. Atmosphere and light take on new colors and textures. It is this new and inspiring light I want to explore and share. My subjects: mountains, forests, undergrowth, lakes and rivers, as well as the warmth of sunrise on fields, or the drama of sunsets, all excuses to search for nature's ultimate tool: Light...

Jason Shih was born in 1972 in Taiwan. In 1991, he began to specialize in metal sculpture when he was a sophomore in the Fine Arts Dept. of Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2001, he graduated from School for American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, and majored in Metal Sculpture. And then, he served as the metal sculptor Albert Paley's assistant, involved in crafts and public art work practices. Furthermore, he earned his Art Ph. D. from China Academy of Art, China (2015). Now, he lives in Taiwan, and consistently engages in the both areas of sculpture and public art. Jason Shih’s artistic vision is shaped by a diverse array of influences, from contemporary dance to avant-garde fashion. He cites German choreographer Pina Bausch and British designer Alexander McQueen as significant inspirations. Bausch’s explorations of time and space resonate with Shih’s interest in sculpture’s capacity to embody kinetic energy and spatial imagination. McQueen’s innovative approach to contemporary imagery and themes provides Shih with a broad canvas for creative expression. Shih’s work is also influenced by the aesthetic principles of Futurism and Constructivism, movements that emphasize dynamic energy and continuous motion. These influences are evident in his pursuit of capturing the beauty of movement and the elegant restraint of natural forces. Shih’s sculptures often depict moments of defying gravity, capturing the fleeting beauty of motion in a static form. As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.

Abstract expressionism allows me to explore ideas that cannot be confined to literal representation. Rather than depicting objects, I create compositions that invite viewers to discover their own connections, memories, and interpretations. Meaning is never prescribed; it emerges through the experience of looking. Throughout my work, certain themes naturally return. Geometry and organic forms exist side by side. The number three appears frequently as a symbol of balance, harmony, and creative energy. Light becomes both material and metaphor. Dimensional surfaces blur the boundary between painting and sculpture. Whether I'm exploring dreams, architecture, division, freedom, or identity, every series begins with the same pursuit: finding harmony among seemingly unrelated elements. I don't expect viewers to see what I see. Every viewer brings a different history, perspective, and imagination to the work. If a painting encourages someone to pause, look a little longer, or discover something they hadn't noticed before, then it has done exactly what I hoped it would do. I want my paintings to raise questions, not answer them. Every viewer brings something different to the experience, and that conversation is what keeps the work alive.
