For those who have been following my works for the better part of the past two years, it is quite publicly known that I have taken a deep dive into the works of the great Philip Guston and his overall career. So much could be said about how great the old master has inspired me, both visually and more importantly, spiritually, and on a very personal level when looking back at his life lived…

METAL MAGAZINE
Yi-Shuan Lee - Painting With Your Soul by Emma Vilagran Leal.
Via METAL;
The back of the leftover concert posters from his parents were Yi-Shuan Lee’s first canvases when he was just 4, 5 years old. Now based in Toronto, the young Taiwanese-Canadian boy has turned into a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture and film-making. “I am simply making works with the most genuine approach possible”, he explains. With the goal of producing authentic work, he also introduces East Asian perspectives into his work as “Being aware of the stereotypes and misinterpretations on how the world sees East Asia is my way of understanding my place in the world.” Delve into the mysterious, cigarette-crowded universe of this artist and learn more about his paintings.

Tamale is for the 13 year old inside of me that felt like giving up until she found her guitar and tried to understand difficult truths. I am proud of her courage and the struggles we’ve faced to get here. I began to write it to understand me, now it’s yours: Available everywhere now 💫
