BIOGRAPHY
Ko-Lan Lai (Lan) is a painter from Taipei, Taiwan, working primarily in acrylic on canvas. She has lived for extended periods in Italy — in Florence, Bologna, and in Siracusa and Ortigia, Sicily.
Her work returns again and again to the human figure rendered small within vast space — solitary or accompanied, standing at thresholds, beneath a watching moon. In a warm, earthen and marine palette, she paints a quiet acceptance of human fragility, of passage, and of the distances that remain between people even in closeness.
In certain works, strong contrasts of red, blue and yellow carry her reflection on patriarchy, her affirmation of women's inner strength, and a tender understanding of ordinary people - those who, having passed through every stage of life, remain strong and full of courage.
Her visual world is shaped as much by cinema as by painting. She counts Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini among her touchstones, and returns often to Fellini Satyricon (1969) - drawn to its unflinching gaze on human greed and on our fraught relationship with the world that surrounds us.
As an old Chinese verse says: "Branches differ in length, yet spring shows no favour to any; if the headwind had a heart, it would not break them so lightly."—a plea for tenderness toward the fragile.
The displaced figures that recur in her paintings are also her own reflection: one who left home to chase a dream, who stands as a silent figure in the city's backdrop. nI Siracusa and Ortigia - the island where she lost herself, and the place she calls home — she stands at the edge of the sea and does not retreat; she climbs higher, warming every sunset. She has exhibited in Taiwan and in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
BIOGRAFIA
Ko-Lan Lai (Lan) è una pittrice di Taipei, Taiwan, che lavora principalmente con acrilico su tela. Ha vissuto a lungo in Italia - a Firenze, Bologna e in Sicilia, a Siracusa e Ortigia.
La sua ricerca torna costantemente alla figura umana resa piccola in uno spazio vasto - sola o accompagnata, ferma davanti a soglie, sotto una luna che osserva. Con una tavolozza calda, terrosa e marina, dipinge una quieta accettazione della fragilità umana, del passaggio e delle distanze che permangono tra le persone anche nella vicinanza.
In alcune opere, i forti contrasti di rosso, blu e giallo portano la sua riflessione sul patriarcato, l'affermazione della forza interiore delle donne e una tenera comprensione delle persone comuni - coloro che, attraversate tutte le stagioni della vita, restano forti e coraggiosi. Il suo immaginario è plasmato tanto dal cinema quanto dalla pittura. Tra i suoi riferimenti vi sono Michelangelo Antonioni e Federico Fellini, e torna spesso a Fellini Satyricon (1969) - attratta dal suo sguardo implacabile sull'avidità umana e sul rapporto inquieto tra l'uomo e l'ambiente che lo circonda.
Come dice un antico verso cinese: «I rami hanno lunghezze diverse, ma la primavera non predilige nessuno; se il vento contrario avesse un cuore, non lo spezzerebbe così facilmente». — una richiesta di tenerezza verso chi è fragile.
Le figure sradicate che ricorrono nei suoi dipinti sono anche il suo riflesso: chi ha lasciato casa per inseguire un sogno e resta una figura silenziosa sullo sfondo della città. A Siracusa e Ortigia - l'isola in cui si è perduta, e il luogo che chiama casa — sta sul bordo del mare e non si ritrae; sale più in alto, scaldando ogni tramonto. Ha esposto a Taiwan e a Reggio Emilia, in Italia.
