​李育貞

Yu-chen Li has long been dedicated to creating, through printmaking, a complete chorographic system of her own—one that exists between imagination and field research.​

In her works, she selectively erases and removes man-made elements to the greatest extent, while preserving the intrinsic essence of maritime islands as much as possible. Through artistic means and a gradual process of engraving and printing, she reconstructs a chorographic record that is objectively grounded within her subjective perspective. By allowing objective landscape imagery to overflow, she creates reconstructed landscapes; then, through her subjective selection of visible scenic elements, she re-presents a vision that more faithfully approaches the original appearance of the landscape.​

 

李育貞一直以來致力於以版畫的方式創造、建構出一整套屬於她自己的，介於幻想與田調之間的地誌學系統。 ​

在她的作品中，李育貞選擇性地最大限度湮沒、刪除那些人造物，最大限度地保留海上島嶼的本真，以藝術的手段，徐徐刻印，重建一個在她主觀中客觀的地誌紀錄。從客觀的風景視覺溢出，創造重建的風景，再從主觀的對於可見之風景內容的選擇，重現了更趨近忠實於風景原貌的視覺。
