The Cavity

作品賞析

LIN Yi-Pei utilizes the process of drawing and illustration to generate an alien theme where realistic elements are overlapped with imaginary images in order to convey emotional responses to her surroundings. In The Cavity, a comprehensive landscape is deliberately brushed over by a light-gray background, leaving only a straight-edged geometric shape at a particular vicinity. Several trees are shown growing along the same direction upon this broken and polygonal patch of grassland. A lake with muddled deep blue tones lay silently within this patch as a contrast against the physical traces generated by the contradiction between the modular, artificial landscape and its surroundings. By depicting this irrational and alien setting upon the canvas, LIN Yi-Pei presents an isolated and intangible atmosphere of industrialized societies, simulating the sensation of loss experienced as one comes face to face with a realistic world that shatters their fantasies.
