李育昇 Yu-Sheng Li（1995）

1995年出生於臺灣雲林的李育昇，2017年長榮大學書畫藝術學系畢業，於2022年取得長榮大學美術系研究所水墨組碩士學位。曾獲「長榮大學書畫藝術學系第五屆美展」山水組第一名、「第八屆雲林盃全國書畫比賽」國畫組優選、「2016台南美展」東方媒材類佳作、兩度榮獲「台積電青年書法暨篆刻大賞」篆刻組優選，並入選「2025新賞獎」。作品於2017年由社團法人新北市醫師公會收藏。2025年12月，在台北琂樂堂藝文空間舉辦了首次創作個展「眾相｜李育昇創作首展」。對李育昇而言，創作不僅是技術的磨練，更是於塵世萬象中探尋自我內心之「相」的過程。他的藝術脈絡深受宋代工筆畫的理性秩序與元代文人畫的飄逸神韻影響，試圖在古典技法中注入當代思索，使傳統筆墨成為呼應當下時空的媒介。

此次展出的「眾相」系列，深入探討人與動物之間的微妙關係。李育昇受名家溥心畬《神異圖》啟發，以「獸首人身」的形象建構出一個半真實、半想像的顛倒世界。畫中穿著古服的犬、鵝、貓首人物，看似荒誕，實則是人心的投影。在技法上，他堅持傳統工筆重彩的層層渲染，將緩慢的工法轉化為對時間的凝視。這系列作品描繪出一種「當代的神異」，邀請觀者在荒誕與莊嚴之間看見自身的投影，並在眾相的煙氣散去後，尋回人之本心。

For Li, artistic creation is a journey to uncover the inner appearance of the self amidst the myriad phenomena of the world. Influenced by the precision and order of the Song dynasty and the spontaneity of Yuan dynasty literati art , he infuses contemporary thought into classical techniques, using traditional ink and brush to resonate with the present.

The “All Living Beings” series, inspired by Pu Hsin-yu’s Illustrations from The Classic of Deities and the Extraordinary, constructs an “upside-down world” where animal-headed figures serve as projections of the human heart. Through layered mineral and botanical pigments , Li turns the meticulous process of fine-line painting into a contemplation of time, inviting viewers to rediscover the heart of who we are.
