Now and Free Mind

In the beginning, there was a single face that spoke of mortal compassion and dignity.Liuligongfang was established in 1987. Loretta Hui-shan Yang's first piece was a bust of Buddha. This culpture became known as the Second Vow of the Medicine Buddha.For a film actor who had no prior training in sculpture,Loretta Yang determinedly went to work by the gully of her modest workshop and began sculpting with a ball of clay in hand.Thinking back, creating a visage that emanated compassion and wisdom was her only thought.This first sculpture led to a subsequent three hundred plus Buddhist figures in a span of twenty years.

千手千眼護人間 楊惠姍二十年琉璃佛像展


我並不是一開始就設定目標要作為一個雕塑家,或者,要以佛像雕塑作為我創作的方向。二十年前,沒有任何的理由,我自然而然,從動手捏塑一個佛頭開始。當手試圖去塑造的成形的過程中,心竟然也平和安祥起來。如果,可能,我希望這樣的「平靜」能夠傳達給別人。
─楊惠姍

Liuli Gallery Valentine's Series

Guan-Yin of Thousand Arms and Eyes ─ Loretta Hui-shan Yang's Buddhist Creations

Liuli Gallery

Liuli Gongfang or Liuligongfang (琉璃工房) is Taiwan's contemporary glass studio devoted to artistic Chinese glassware. Since its establishment in 1987 Liuligongfang has become known in Asia and abroad for its outstanding artistic endeavors and its high standard of craftsmanship."Liuli" means ancient Chinese glass/crystal. It has a lineage stretching back thousands of years, first making its appearance in the 11th century BC. The art of Liuli left an indelible trail throughout Chinese history until the 19th century when China opened its door to imported goods, and effectively stifled traditional artisan skills.The discovery in 1968 of the tomb of Liu Shun, a nobleman from Man-Chung County in Hopei Province, unearthed the earliest recorded example of pate-de-verre. A glass ear cup was found behind the renowned "jade suit with gold thread." Archaeologists confirumed the glass material was of Chinese origin, indicating the pate-de-verre technique was indeed indigenous to China. This revelation was astounding and engendered in the group of artists a profound sense of mission to revive the artistry embedded in their own ancestry.Liuligongfang art works have been exhibited in Taiwan, Japan, Mainland China, Europe, and United States. Several pieces have become part of the permanent collection of some of the most well known museums. Inlucding The Palace Museum, Beijing, Shanghai Fine Arts Museum, Tsui Museum of Art, HongKong, Medicine Buddha Temple in Nara, Japan, The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C., United States, Victoria and Albert Museum in United Kingdom, Bowers Museum in California, United States.
