Sun Yu-Li - A Universal Artist

             “By using my hands to create each sculpture,
                       I have total control over the ideas and thoughts I wish to express” 

It’s easy to mistake this neat, soft-spoken artist for a doctor or an architect. Yet one could be forgiven, as up until 1985, Sun Yu-Li was in fact a successful architect. Now a full-time artist with over forty public works to his credit, Mr Sun made his name in 1991 by winning Taiwan’s prestigious Modern Sculpture Competition. His work now graces public venues in Singapore and China. It isn’t hard to see why. Each one bears his trademark simplicity of form, a synthesis of western pragmatism and eastern philosophy. Starting with a simple dot, he progresses to a line, a plane and finally to a three dimensional form. It’s what he calls the Universal Language, where all things can be described with these most basic of components. One must agree, Sun Yu-Li’s ethereal sculptures make the perfect counterpoint to the universal languages of wine and food.

Mr Sun’s sculptures will also be available for viewing at Artfolio Gallery from 18 November to 8 December 2002.
