The “Land of Desire” series has a strong intuitive aspect, originating from my blurred, hazy memories, imagination and dreams. It represents an intimate connection to nature, seeing the Earth as a sensual being to be communed with by rooting into her depth and extending out into the sky. The recognition and re-creation of my concept in the viewer can facilitate a deeper union with life itself by stimulating and awakening something deep inside of them. The abstract elements and perspectives in my paintings allow them to resonate intuitively with the viewer’s emotions and senses, and to be transformed through their unique, personal lens.

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.

My works titles begin with the word Sediment. Sediment can refer to detritus, residue, alluvium, or fragments of things left behind. It can be geologic, zoologic, botanical or simp;y of the mind. I chose to work in a relatively abstract/non=objective manner so the interpretation can remain with the viewer.

Ronald Stoecker was born 1954 in Essen, initially studied and graduated as PhD in Biology and Chemistry, after retirement lives and works now as artist in Essen, Germany using digital and analogue photography as well as scanning- and print techniques and mixed media formats, between 2015-2021 studied at freie Akademie der bildenden Künste in Essen (fadbk, HBK) in photography and media – graduated as master student in 2021 . Abstraction, on one hand means to me to get rid of a certain amount of information from an original artefact, while on the other I try to add content in order to obscure (or overturn) initial settings. Part of my work is the concept of never taking things as they are. I always try to sort of manipulate reality or at least to find other perspectives than the usual ones.
