Lee Kuang-Yu was born in 1954 in Taiwan. In the early 1970, he entered the Department of Sculpture of the National College of Arts. Following graduation in 1975, he went to Spain to study western sculptural technique and theory. On returning to Taiwan, he taught at TNUA and NTUA, retiring in 2006 to devote himself to his work. Lee Kuang-Yu’s thinking unites modernist and traditional forms, so that abstract forms appear amid figurative pieces. His art marries eastern culture to artistic creation, producing forms full of a highly individual sculptural aesthetic. His work has previously been exhibited in Spain, Austria, Japan
