Ju Yi, a luminary in the Taiwanese artistry, embodies the essence of a
"spiritual voyager," exploring self-discovery, nature, and societal reflection
through her artistic expressions. With a Master's degree in Fine Arts
Studio from Rochester Institute of Technology and a doctorate degree in
Art Education from the University of Georgia, Ju Yi's artistic journey is
fueled by a deep reverence for the human soul. Guided by this ethos, she
ventured into Art Therapy, refining her artistic content through postgraduate studies at the Canadian International Institute of
Art Therapy.
Recognized as the Artist of the Month by London's Image Curators Advisory and selected as a featured artist for the prestigious
2024 Art Future X Taiwan Annual Art Fair, Ju Yi continues to expand her presence in the contemporary art world. In April 2025,
her work will be featured in the International Ink Masters Academic Invitational Exhibition (tentative title) at Zhuoer Art Museum
in Wuhan, China. In June, she will embark on an artist residency at Studio Kura in Fukuoka, Japan, where she will develop and
present a dedicated body of work within a residency exhibition, further deepening her artistic exploration on a global scale.
Beyond her artistic practice, Ju Yi has taught at universities in Hubei, Xiamen, and Taiwan, while also engaging in scholarly
pursuits. However, her passion for creative expression has only deepened over time, ultimately leading her to fully dedicate
herself to her personal artistic practice.
Ju Yi's art , profoundly influenced by Jungian psychology, reflects the essence of abstract expressionism. Her creative process involves a
delicate dance between objective self-analysis and subjective self-expression. Ju-Yi often engages in a dialogue between the abstract
and the figurative, chaos and longing, wildness and serenity. Through deconstruction and reconstruction, she gradually develops her
unique perspective on the relationships between heaven, earth, humanity, and self, reflecting Eastern philosophy. Using free-flowing
lines and color palettes reminiscent of medieval mysticism, she presents a spiritual dialogue between the inner self and nature crafting a
captivating visual language. Her work has been honored with selection for inclusion in the Wallace Library Purchase Prize Collection at
Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.
Art, akin to a slender vessel, continues to carry Ju Yi's soul as she navigates the unknown. Collaborating with composer Chen Hsin-Lei in
2021 for the Six Flavors - Sweet synesthetic art performance, she transformed the auditory impressions depicted by romantic music
masters Tchaikovsky and Borodin into visual soundscapes, creating a multisensory artistic experience that expands her creative
horizons. Ju Yi believes that true novelty lies in embracing the ever-changing seasons and the passage of time, maintaining a childlike
sense of wonder in her creations, infusing her recent works with the visions and aspirations of years gone by.
Building upon this exploration, Ju Yi’s solo exhibition in the spring of 2025, Fragments of Time, will interlace past explorations with
present insights, drawing viewers into the introspective realm she has meticulously crafted.
