『 幽默是生命第四大元素就像空氣、水、陽光一樣重要 』- 阿咧

   阿咧是位怪獸專家。自在學時期起，怪獸不斷湧進阿咧的腦袋，他不間斷的畫出，至今已結集了數十冊。阿咧主修水墨，擅長以陶塑出有趣的微妙平衡形體，交融他的獨特的水墨上釉法，加上豐沛的想像力。展現出宇宙怪獸生命力與強大的幽默力。     

   此次於意識畫廊阿咧個展『ＵＭＡ未確認生命體』，全新宇宙星人發表，別於過去作品，其中托以列(Toilet ) 探險隊是將“怪獸”與“路上行舟”結合而成，他們慵懶來到地球，展開無所事事的旅行。最大件作品“魟星人”和“黑鞋阿法”“紅鞋貝塔”宇宙兄弟及其餘星球人此番出現於地球，為尋找“冷源”（冷笑話能源）而來，而“埃及星Ｍummy人來地球為何而來呢？展覽現場為觀眾們揭開神秘面紗～。

  十年前的機緣，阿咧因一件作品，朋友只是看一眼就捧腹大笑，從那時開始，幽默讓阿咧的人生有了正向力量，亦成了阿咧的創作特質，讓我們也認真看待幽默，為這個可以在面對挫折時得以優雅轉身的力量給予會心一笑。

“A sense of humor is one of life’s essential elements, it is as important as air, water, and the sun.” -A-Lei

As a schoolboy, A-Lei’s mind was full of images of monsters. He was enthralled by all the strange and distorted dimensions that his imagination could come up with. He filled dozens sketch books with the monsters he saw, and he continues to draw them today as an adult. At university, he majored in ink painting, but also spent a lot of his time learning to sculpt. These sculptures combined his deft skill with his wild imagination and featured a unique glazing style influenced by his ink painting background. The sculptures were strange and full of life. It was at this time that a friend of his, while looking at one of A-Lei’s sculptures, began to laugh loudly. It was an important moment because it was then that A-Lei realized how important the humorous aspect of work was. The humour was an essential part of what made the sculptures feel so alive, and has continued to be an important and wonderful part of A-Lei’s monsters to this day.

Yes Art is excited to be exhibiting latest A-Lei’s latest works. The exhibition will be open to the public on May 19th, 2018, and everybody is welcome to attend. We hope to see you there.
