Established in 2014, YIRI ARTS is based on the concept of an “Everyday Art Museum.” We focus on themes like social literature, ecology, and cinema to bring art closer to daily life, aiming for art and everyday living to thrive together.

For this year’s ART TAIPEI, YIRI ARTS will present the exhibition titled Bright Future (inspired by the film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa). In these dark and difficult times, we hope to light a spark through the power of art.

SHIH Yung Chun imbues the seemingly mundane and inconsequential elements of daily life with his own abrupt interpretations, amplifying unconventional scenarios that would otherwise be overlooked in the realm of actuality. Through the rationalization of absurd and fantastical narratives, he evokes the grotesque and the absurdity of life in his paintings, thereby finding an escape from reality. His imaginative and whimsical work unveils the dream world of the surrealist artists of the last century, expressing an unorthodox perspective on life that challenges conventional perceptions.
