Jenny Shih’s 20th Anniversary Exhibition
In the learning process, from copying→sketching→realistic <concretism>→impression→abstraction, plane and three-dimensional, the integration of eastern and western cultures, with a kind of curiosity, dissatisfaction, and love of art, and constantly try new materials to experiment for create the new approach and new looks. In different periods of creation, there are different life experiences, thoughts fortunes, and different sparks. In the first 6 years of the creative process, I followed the path of the predecessors and laid down the foundation of art step by step. From the second half of the sixth year to the seventh year (2006), I won explosive awards, like blossoming flowers, my sculptures won 8 sculpture awards which with direct plastic method and image penetrating creation style and won 3 graphic works awards. I was not proud of it, but settled down to think about the two major issues of creation and expansion.
On the creative journey, I continue to research and develop media to create new possibilities, presenting with new creative skills almost every two years, and even design novel and modern frames with new series of works to show the overall perfect new style . During the period, I also established a wide range of artistic social life and often overlook Taiwan’s artistic ecology. It is not difficult to understand that what artists lack most are the two aspects of publicity and marketing. Therefore,it throught serendipity in 2018, I cooperated with the Italian media Fashionluxury.info. Committed to promoting the publication of Taiwan and cross-strait for art and culture exhibition news to international online media and sharing it with societies around the world, involves 110 countries. In the art market, not only artists’ works need a way out, but collector’s collections also need it; in 2020, I was hired as a consultant of the Asian Collectors’ Joint Auction, and then set up an international art collectors association , then cooperate with entrepreneurs to develop the financialization of artworks. From art creation → international media promotion → auction marketing → collectors association → art financialization, a complete one-stop industrial chain is established. These resources are not exclusive to me. I gradually plan to share them with artists and collectors, also share benefits with entrepreneurs. I will implement the new concepts of the 21st century “Resource Sharing” and “Economic Sharing” world trends.
I have created many firsts in Taiwan in recent years, such as the establishment of Taiwan’s first international art collectors’ association, the first artist to act as an agent, curator, collector and international media reporter, the first to establish an international art award, the first promote Taiwan artists to the international media and share to societies around the world for free, and the first to establish a lecture covering new models of art, collection and finance. I don’t shout slogans or set goals. I just stretch out my hands and feet and do things that benefit others. Then the goals become more and more obvious in front of me. Abundant resources also made me a favorite partner of entrepreneurs and collectors.
