My creation likes to interpret kinetic energy or dynamics from the aesthetic context of Futurism (1909-) and Constructivism (1917-). The speed and continuous movement displayed by the kinetic energy of nature and animals are often full of charming energy images. I pursue the beauty of dynamic energy itself that can be interpreted in a restrained and elegant manner at the moment of defying gravity, flying in the air, and sliding.

Humanistic thinking derived from eastern sentiments/oriental trend, Jason Shih's abstract sculptures adopt a simplified aesthetic that uses simplicity to control complexity.
Jason Shih is good at translating the aesthetic insights in daily life into profound and timeless elements, gathering pure energy in concise and concise words. His creations start from the delicate humanistic thinking of oriental sentiments and invoke the bright expression techniques of contemporary visual art in form and color. The characteristics of the work are simplicity yet grandeur, attention to detail and full of dramatic tension. In a lively and creative modern style, it elaborates on contemporary humanities.
As far as artists are concerned, I admire German choreographer Pina Bausch(1940-2009) and British costume designer Alexander McQueen(1969-2010). The former's contemporary humanistic and profound concepts of time and space inspired me to understand sculpture's ability to display kinetic energy and imagination in space. The latter gives me a freer and broader inspiration for the interpretation of contemporary images or themes.
