Catalogue Note:

Chen Yi-lang creates his unique series of works of the contemporary art - "Firebug" and "the Word Carving" series - from the symbols of Chinese dragon and phoenix.

The Firebug Series represents all the creatures in our nature, and from microorganism to whale, from bones to skin, from void to solid, Chen uses a complex technique of the hol low out circles to produce a multiple space intertwining with void and solid, giving its body a clear rhythmic flow. He thus presents a life form in the nature which cannot be seen with our eyes. Burning, flying, and rising, the lines of the Firebug are smooth and streamlined and give a sublime sense giving this metaphysical work a vivid and lively energy.
