Drawing Taïwan
Artist's residency: Li Chien-Lang
As part of the ‘Drawing Taiwan’ residency, Taiwanese artist and architectural historian Li Chien-Lang invites the public to discover, through drawing, the richness of Taiwan’s traditional architecture and the sensitive perspective of a master draughtsman of heritage.
Li Chien-Lang will set up his studio beneath the dome of Cahors, at the heart of the painting gallery, where he will develop his work throughout the residency. In this exceptional setting, the artist pursues a unique practice, at the crossroads of constructive rigour, architectural observation and the poetry of drawing.
Renowned for his in-depth knowledge of Taiwan’s built heritage, Li Chien-Lang invites the public to a gradual immersion in the forms, craftsmanship and architectural landscapes of his homeland. His residency will feature drawing performances, workshops engaging with the collections, and a drawing-based lecture in the auditorium.
This private event offers a chance to engage with the artist and a rare opportunity to observe drawing as a process of creation, memory and transmission throughout the residency.
Curated by Jérôme Lanche, Mijimi Landscape and Wu Shu-Ying, Yen-Lou Story House.
This event is part of the Art Paris and Printemps du dessin programme.
