劉宛蓁 Shirley W. Liu

1990年出生於台灣臺北，作品以繪畫為起點，實踐延伸至雕塑與觀念藝術。她的創作始於對思緒的追尋。對她而言，複雜的思緒難以用語言成形，而常以影像、節奏與感官浮現。藝術成為她梳理內在、在其中持續摸索來理解世界與自我的方式。

臺灣成長背景與長期旅居經驗共同塑造她的創作視角。她在作品中捕捉那些深植的溫柔韌性與含蓄的力量。自臺北大學畢業後，曾在澳洲、日本、紐西蘭定居並走訪四大洲。跨文化的生活更讓她意識到，人的心境與所處環境同樣多層、變動，從不受單一敘述所框限。這些內外交織的關係，成為她創作中反覆回返的軸線。

劉宛蓁目前往返於臺灣與加拿大之間。於加拿大舉辦個展與聯展，並於 2026 年在臺灣第一次展出。她受邀參與加拿大國家公園署〈Art in the Park〉駐村計畫，及入選 Visual Art Open International Artist Awards 與中國信託當代繪畫獎的重點評選名單。

Taipei-born visual artist Shirley (b. 1990) maintains a practice that spans painting, sculpture and concenptual art. Her work grows from a personal truth: her thoughts manifest not as language, but as images, rhythms, and sensations. Art became the place where she can comb through her mind, until it forms a way of understanding the world and herself.

Travel has profoundly shaped her perspective along with her Taiwanese heritage. She seeks to capture that rooted soft resilience and understated strength. After graduating from Taipei University, she set out to experience the world firsthand. Having lived in Australia, Japan, New Zealand and explored four continents, these cross-cultural experiences deepened her awareness of how human minds and the environments we inhabit are equally layered and never reducible to a single answer. These intertwined relationships have become the themes she continually returns to in her work.

Shirley now divides her time between Taiwan and Canada. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada and forthcoming in Taiwan in 2026. She has participated in residency Art in the Park by Parks Canada, and received support and recognition from Visual Art Open International Artist Awards and CTBC Foundation Painting Prize.
