Interview with Li Chen Peng

Design is a challenge to my imagination and creativity. In the design work, I learned how to pursue the realization of ideas. After I became a lighting and installation art designer, many pictures in my mind can be presented in real life, and exchange ideas with viewers, for me, this is a very meaningful thing.

No one can stop the world from being full of imagination, and when you choose to become a professional designer, you can turn your imagination into a force that will change the world. I ’m glad I chose to be a designer 20 years ago, and it also changed my life a lot.

I hope to pursue the way of designing narrative ideas, expressing emotions for human society in the works, especially in the application design of integrated media of light and modeling, which is the work I want to try further.

I must say modestly that I am not a truly legendary designer, but I believe that every designer who truly becomes a legend in the design world is full of discussion and dialogue of ideas in their works, and they all have very outstanding skills so that the appearance of the work can be achieved. I hope that young designers can also learn to improve professional skills and maintain a passion for design work until they realize their dreams.

I think the most difference part is "achieving" and "surpassing". Maybe achieving can complete the work, but I believe that surpassing can enhance the meaning of the design itself, this will be a worthy achievement for every designer.

Good design should be able to move people's hearts, and the end users should define the final achievements and values of the design and generate mutual responses. If it can be done, for me, I would say that this is definitely a good design work.

A good design can transcend the isolation of language, race and culture and become a common method of communication, this is very valuable! Investing in good design is equivalent to investing in an imagination without borders, seeing those wonderful things in the process of practice happen that will make people have a positive way of life.

I hope to devote myself to the design work of promoting Chinese traditional art, and hope that more people with the same background as me can get more benefits through my design.

Works in the water or works in the sky.

Self-thinking through design will become a successful design. Keeping a passion for everything in life will make successful design endless.

Japanese architect Tadao Ando. In his work, he created inspiration for the soul, just like what we see is not only the design itself, but also the power of design. He made me believe that good design can change the future of the world.

I recommend Taiwanese lighting designer Chih Liang Liu's "Coral Heart" lighting installation art work. This work presents moving visual effects in static display and dynamic lighting. It also has environmental protection concepts. I like it very much.

My best design work is the main lantern of the Taiwan Lantern Festival. It was not only one of the most representative works in the venue, but also conveys the meaning of the Chinese people ’s blessing for the new year, and brings the faith to moving people ’s hearts.

Endless learning. Before I became a designer, I kept learning to complete beautiful sculptures. Even after I became a lighting designer, I still didn't stop learning new knowledge, which made me have the courage to try many novel designs.

I will continue to work on sculpture to satisfy my infinite possibilities for imagination.

Design is a force that can change the history of human life. When a work can change the way people think about life, design has its meaning.

My family and my work partners, they are also the people who support me most in design work.

Belief in life and passion for design.

I must continually overturn the past me to create the future me.

Try to make the design work public, so that people can more easily see the design ideas.

I hope I can continue to challenge installation works that combine water dance and lighting, and tell the story of the land through the works.

Be the spokesperson of time.

They need me to create imagination that is difficult to express in words, and fulfill their desire for dreams.

Design can bring people closer, which is very much needed now.

I am participating in a design related to oceans and islands, it will be able to see the culture of ocean islands with lights.

The main lantern design of the Taiwan Lantern Festival, which has brought me closer to people and left people with wonderful memories after watching.

More cooperation. Especially the design of different characteristics, if it can create a win-win effect, I will be happy to see what happens.

I think the design field will generate more exotic cooperation and create greater business opportunities.

Not sure, but usually completes soon after the goal is clear.

Information gathering and understanding of the value of the work itself.

Stay passionate forever.

I think that design can change trends, and trends can create the development of design.

Technology is the method that supports design implementation and can also reduce the risk of failure.

Corel DRAW and Microsoft computer.

Color changes people's subjective consciousness of objects, materials produce tactile thinking, ambient can stimulate the feedback of ideas.

Original concept and production method, I will be happy to share.

This means that new concepts have been created.

Mike Hsieh is a design partner I have worked with for many years, he supports my ideals and enthusiasm for design. During the design work, I am very convinced of his assistance and inspiration.

My students in the school, as well as the young designers of our team, during the interaction with them, I was very often to learn how to update the concept of my design.

The Chinese Analects, western art history, historical novels, something like that, it taught me the importance of treating life well and cherishing life time.

Continuous thinking and repeated practice.

Sculptor and painter Dagas August.

Being able to win awards and recognition for a designer is a great honor, but to be famous is not an necessarily options.

My favorite color is black, my favorite place is the ocean, I like organic food, I like spring, I like family time, and my favorite design brand is Rolex.

I once encountered a snake that scared me when I was painting in the mountains, but because of the fear of it, I was more focused on the performance of the painting. Finally, I completed a satisfactory work that I might not create in this life.

Working with partners makes me happy to do design work, and they also needs me to lead them forward to tried some more possibilities, which makes me always full of motivation.

When I was a kid, I liked drawing very much. My parents told me that I was always curious about things around me in my childhood. I think a good designer should have such personality traits.

In the future, there will be more designs to change human life. After a thousand years, there may be no humans on the earth, but the design works will become important evidence for archaeology.

Yes, I will love to share information about myself to more people, no matter where they are.

At Jyrfang Artwork Design, we value teamwork, innovation and environmental protection, and hope to show focus in creation, so we can create wonderful design works in the past 18 years.

Design for me is a method that I can change the way of living, because it brings convenience and different perspective to daily life.

I prefer designing the works which could convey some ideas without any explanation.

My favorite design does not specify which work, but I personally like the design that can convey the concept in a simple way. For example, my award-winning "Glory Forever" work this year, it was used a simple structure to convey the artistic conception of natural beauty which is my favorite design method.

I designed the entrance artwork for a famous chain boutique motel in Taiwan, and this artwork was added with their name and LOGO at the same time, which made every entering customer feel very surprised.

My favorite material is iron, the surface of this kind of material shows the texture I left when I work on it, and people can feel the temperature of the hand-made.

When I receive a lot of information, inspiration keeps stimulating in my mind. At that time, I was the most creative.

In addition to achieving visual effects, I also concentrate on trying to use the green materials to finish my works.

I feel enjoyable that I can do what I like.

I will be very fulfilled when my designs are realized, because I spend lots of time on my works and the idea is gradually formed from the draft .

A successful design have positive effects on life.

Whether it has a positive impact on life or not.

Create a better life for this world.

Design is necessary in our life, so the future of design will be very broad and unlimited.

It was ten years since my last exhibition, and I plan to exhibit my work again in 2020 if I could.

Everywhere, I think. Because my design inspiration comes from every detail of my life.

My design style comes from my creation of sculpture for many years. It is a 360-degree viewing angle. I hope that everyone around the work can see the different appearance of the work. When I try this kind of design, I like to sketch first. Through the process of painting, I can have unlimited imagination of the shape and realize the work.

I live in Taiwan that make my works unique when I create it with some of the traditional culture of my country.

Communication and discussion is an important process when working with companies.

Attitude is very important to a good designer, especially on getting along with partners and how he or she treats their works.

I like thinking alone, it makes me feel anything around me, and I can focus more on design.

Drinking glasses, pillows, chairs, tableware, lamps, all related to the comfort of life.

Regular sleep, eating natural food, focused work, moderate exercise, and accompanying my family.

Try anything you can and you want that your work will be seen by others.

The positives of being a designer outweigh the positives, because I could change others life into a better life.

Allocate work time, use 70% to understand customer needs, 20% to understand your abilities, and 10% to perform professional skills, so you can get a perfect 100 points.

I think it is observation, and the ability to solve problems.

I use CorelDraw, Photoshop, AutoCAD, and Microsoft systems. My inspiration comes from approaching nature and reading more.

Effective distribution of work content.

The time spent in the whole process depends on the scale and difficulty of the design. Sometimes it takes a whole year, sometimes it was only a few months.

Can my design have a positive impact on people's lives.

Sculpture and Photography.

National Palace Museum, China Airlines, Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications, Nantou County Government, Yunlin County Government, etc.

I like the work of metal type the most, they are full of rigid appearance and infinite possible changes.

I hope to integrate more Taiwanese designers and artists and pass on the beauty of culture to the world. In this year, I will have more works combining style and lighting, and hope to get more attention again.

I have a team to help me complete the work, but usually I am the leader.

Recently, I have a piece of light festival work on the island theme that is being designed. It will be set on the beach, which will be a big challenge for the relationship between the work and the weather. I hope that this work can enhance tourism and cultural promotion, and I hope that the work itself can be recognized by the audience.

Not currently, but I look forward to exchanging design ideas with people around the world in the future.
