Shang-Yi Hua was born in Taiwan and moved to the United States as a college student.\u00a0 Shang-Yi considers her work to be a sacred part of her own spiritual practice, and she often utilizes contrasts (between eastern and western culture, between natural and manufactured components, and between form and void) to express this personal journey. Sculpture is her way of articulating deeply-held truths to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shang-Yi Hua studied in Glassell\u2019s renowned BLOCK program and has exhibited widely throughout Houston and beyond. She was represented by the Cindy Lisica Gallery, where her work gained pride of place in the Texas Contemporary Art Fair in both 2016 and 2018. Her work has been exhibited and collected widely, and in 2020 she received Honorable Mention in Artspace 111\u2019s annual Texas-wide juried exhibition.\u00a0 She has recently become a certified Kintsugi instructor.\u00a0 Shang-Yi\u2019s public art is currently exhibited in Houston from 2022 to 2023.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Solo Exhibition

\n2017<\/span>
\nTree, Steel<\/span>
\n80″H, 120″W, 50″D<\/span><\/p>\n

In Overcome a branch, organic and twisted, meets an angular metallic construction that mirrors its form. The two opposite branches hover horizontally, as if floating \u2013 suspended above the floor. This work and its conjunction of disparate forms is inspired by Christ sacrifice, and his desire to overcome differences between those that are seemingly opposite.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

LET IT PASS<\/span>
\n2017<\/span>
\nDrift wood, saw blade<\/span>
\n15″ H, 17.5″ W, 2″ D<\/span><\/p>\n

One of a four part series, Let It Pass, combines two conflicting materials \u2013 saw blades and wood. A metaphor for forgiveness, the blade scars the tree, cutting pieces from its trunk and separating it from its whole. Here however, perpetrator and victim are joined, turning conflict into harmony. With this piece, the artist hopes to emphasize that forgiveness, though often grueling \u2013 is a choice.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9893″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9896″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Precede<\/span>
\n2018<\/span>
\nSteel bar, seed pod<\/span>
\n77″H, 55″W, 22″D<\/span><\/p>\n

Precede\u2019s<\/em> dynamic, dancing form replicates the ancient Chinese character for cloud. The sculpture was inspired by Exodus 13:21, a bible story where God leads the Israelites out of Egypt guiding them with a cloud column. With this work, the artist explores themes of protection and guidance. The body of the sculpture, comprised of overlapping seed pods, similarly echoes this message. The pods are incredibly tough and hard to break through \u2013 they shield the vulnerable seed inside ensuring the survival and success of the next generation.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Hollow<\/span>
\n2019<\/span>
\nTree bark<\/span>
\n4\u201dH, 12\u201dW, 5\u201dD<\/span><\/p>\n

This work is meant to signify the fleeting nature of all earthly things. As tightly as we may hold on to wealth, power, or stability, these things are never permanent. \u201cThere is nothing new under the sun,\u201d is a verse from Ecclesiastes which has made its way into everyday speech, but here it refers to the cyclical and impermanent nature of life on earth.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9892″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9894″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Lover- Interaction<\/span>

\nRice Paper, Board<\/span>
\n24.5\u201dH, 53\u201dW, 8\u201dD<\/span><\/p>\n

This dimensional paper work utilizes the Chinese character for the word \u201cLove.\u201d The character is reflected in a mirror image, signifying the infinite doubling of goodness that is possible through loving actions. Because I view love as a verb, and not merely a word or abstraction, the paper is given dimensionality. It dynamically rises from the surface.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Half life<\/span>
\n2020<\/span>
\nResin<\/span>
\n3.5\u201dH, 13.5\u201dW, 6\u201dD<\/span><\/p>\n

The mood of this piece is one of mourning-for lives lost and endangered by disease, and also for lives imperiled by the downstream effects of so many single-use items entering our shared environment. The materials saving the lives of healthcare workers during this pandemic also contribute to global pollution, a massive problem we have yet to address sufficiently. The title of the work refers both to the feeling of living in our current liminal state, and also to the chemical half-life of plastic waste.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9902″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9897″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Progress<\/span>

\nPlexiglass, Found object<\/span>
\n7\u201dH, 26\u201dW, 27\u201dD<\/span><\/p>\n

Constructed from a found object (bronze compass) and clear resin, this sculpture represents a moment of breakthrough. Since my artwork is part of my spiritual practice, this piece represents the way that guidance from God allows me to overcome barriers in both the spiritual and creative realms.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]GOING HOME<\/span>
\nSteel, pine cone, wire<\/span>
\n38\u201dH, 10\u201dW, 12\u201dD<\/span><\/p>\n

Each pinecone took about forty minutes to carefully deconstruct, and as I stripped these seed pods I thought of the continuity of life that they represent. Made of delicate, individual seeds, the pinecones are part of a larger life cycle that can result in a beautiful tree that lives for decades. They are just as likely to be crushed or discarded, but the enduring truth of the species lives on. These small sculptures speak to the enormous potential and the fragility of human life, and the acts of faith and love that connect us to one another.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9901″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9900″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The Wind<\/span>

The Wind<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s<\/em> dynamism is intended to evoke feelings of weightlessness and ascension Echoing the shape of a dove from some angles, this sculpture speaks to the ever-presence of the Holy Spirit and the freedom he brings.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Source of life, Source of love<\/span>
\n2022<\/span>
\nPVC pipe, Steel<\/span>
\n83\u201dH, 41\u201dW, 24\u201dD<\/span><\/p>\n

In Source of Life, Source of Love<\/em>, PVC pipe is stacked into the shape of a teardrop. The use of the hollow PVC juxtaposes volume and negative space \u2013 making the sculpture appear to be incredibly heavy, or almost weightless and transparent depending on where the viewer stands. The sculpture acts as a symbol for the artist\u2019s faith \u2013 embodying the Bible verse John 11:35 where Jesus wept out of empathy for his friends. Here, the artist calls attention to the necessity of compassion for life. Just as water is a life giving source, so is empathy and care. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9899″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
