Yang Bo-Yao 楊博堯

楊博堯，1981年生於臺灣臺中，畢業於國立新竹師範學院美勞教育學系及美勞教育研究所創作組碩士班，作品曾獲國立臺灣美術館及毓繡美術館典藏。他擅長以象徵性的創作手法，將自身轉化為客觀物件來與外在世界連結，透過「樂高玩具人」將自我形象隱身其中，進一步以客觀視角來探討自身與社會環境的關連性，並反思當下的自我定位與存在價值。透過各種不同角色的扮演，引領觀者參與一幕幕詭異、挑釁又逗趣的超現實劇場。那些既熟悉卻又不合理的畫面除了引發好奇與質疑，也讓人們得以重新審視自我與社會的關係，以及日常行為背後所蘊含的文化現象與社會意義。

 

Yang Bo-Yao was born in 1981 in Taichung, Taiwan. He graduated from the National Hsinchu University of Education with a bachelor degree in Fine Art and Art Education as well as a master degree in Plastic Arts. His works have been collected by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and the Yu-Hsiu Museum of Art. He excels at using symbolic creative techniques to transform himself into an objective object to connect with the external world. Concealing his self-image within the "LEGO Minifigures", he takes an objective perspective to examine the nature of the connection between self and its social environment while at the same time reflecting on his current self-perception and existential value. By playing multiple different roles, Yang leads viewers to engage in scene after scene of surreal theatre that are somehow strange, provocative and yet amusing, all at the same time. Such familiar yet illogical scenes not only trigger curiosity and skepticism within the viewers, but also spur them to re-examine the relationship between self and society, as well as the cultural phenomena and social significance hidden behind every day behavior.
