這一系列的創作是以人體或動物的形式來展現自我的內在世界，我特別喜歡表現主義藝術裡對內在情感的表達，並想探索人體和動物所呈現的隱喻性，而心理學家榮格從圖像去探究精神世界的過程也讓我深感興趣，我的創作過程是從恣意揮灑的抽象線條與造型開始，跟隨直覺一步一步尋找有意義的圖像，創作過程中的不確定性是最吸引我的，我很喜歡探究這種不確定性，並進一步慢慢將其形象化以更具體地闡述內在的精神與感情。
This series of artworks is to express my inner world though figure and animal forms. I especially like the emotional expressions demonstrated in expressionist art and would like to explore the metaphors embedded in figure and animal. On the other hand, Carl Jung’s idea of using the artistic process to investigate the psychological world also deeply intrigues me. My process starts from freely making random marks and following my intuitions to look for meaningful images. The uncertainty in the process attracts me the most. I love to explore the uncertainty and gradually make the images to emerge out of it. In this way, my psyche and inner feelings can be addressed in a more concrete way.

心旅 ● 儒怡
儒怡出身台灣,優遊於天地人我間的「心旅系藝術家」。擁有紐約羅徹斯特理工學院 (Rochester Institute of Technology) 藝術創作碩士、美國喬治亞大學 (University of Georgia) 藝術教育博士雙學位的儒怡,本著對人精神領域的關懷,逐漸傾心於藝術治療領域,後赴加拿大國際藝術治療學院 (Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy) 進修臨床藝術治療學士後課程。曾獲英國倫敦《Image Curators Advisory》當月藝術家、甫獲《2024 藝術未來 X 台灣當代一年展》Art FutureXTaiwan Annual 選為參展藝術家的她,曾於湖北、廈門、台灣等多處任教,投注學術領域多年後,對藝術創作的熱情與日俱增,毅然決然全心投入個人創作。
儒怡的創作深受榮格分析心理學影響,顯現出強烈的抽象表現主義色彩。她的創作過程不僅客觀分析自我, 亦主觀表現自我。具象與抽象、混沌與慾望、野放與沉靜間,不斷來回碰撞、對話,拆毀與重建後,逐漸構築其獨樹一格的「天地人我觀」創作宇宙。她以奔放/自由的線條造型與充滿中世紀神祕氣息的泛霧色塊,呈現人內在小我與自然大我的精神對話,建構其深具魅力的色彩語彙。儒怡的作品曾獲紐約羅徹斯特理工學院選入《Wallace Library Purchase Prize Collection》永久典藏,其創作主題經常圍繞大自然與自我的關係,帶領觀者悠遊於他方精神世界,不知不覺引人入勝,從而投射、反思與默想,找到屬於自己人生的答案。
藝術如一頁扁舟,搭載儒怡的靈魂持續探索未知。2021 年她受邀與作曲家陳新蕾合作,參與《六味-甜》聯覺藝術展演製作,將浪漫樂派大師—柴可夫斯基、鮑羅定所描繪的「聽覺意象」轉化為「視覺聲音」,呈現一場觸發聯覺效應的藝術饗宴,開啟了她更寬闊的創作心旅。儒怡認為完成、完美是無趣的,隨四季更迭、歲月荏苒,去感受變幻萬千的歷程才是新奇的。她期許自己的創作能在儒雅精煉中,常保孩子般的新奇。儒怡將這幾年來的所想所望,投注於新系列的創作中;目前正積極策劃 2024 年秋季個人首展,將為觀眾呈現全新的心旅—儒怡。
u 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 has not only shared her insights through teaching in colleges in Hubei, Xiamen, and Taiwan but has also dedicated herself to scholarly pursuits. Yet, her passion for creative expression has only increased over time, leading her towards a steadfast commitment to her personal artistic pursuits.
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.
Currently, Ju Yi is actively planning her solo debut exhibition for the autumn of 2024, promising to unveil a profound artistic experience — an inspiring journey with the spiritual voyager, Ju Yi.
