ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Limited Edition 1 of 10 + 1 AP signed and numbered on the back. Fine Art Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth 305g. Since 2010, JCT Li has been engaged in her ongoing, ever-evolving project Have a Nice Day, a series of digital photo collages she composes with photos of anonymous people sourced online. She then digitally warps the images until the features are unrecognizable, often barely registering as human forms. JCT considers this practice both a form of digital ‚recycling‘ and a comment on how our perceptions are so heavily influenced by photoshopped images.

Originally from Taiwan and later settling in Singapore, JCT Li relocated to Germany in 2008. She earned her MFA in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from the Bauhaus University of Weimar in 2010. Since then, Li has been dedicated to her ongoing project, "Have a Nice Day." Central to this project are digital artworks created from diverse photographs of random individuals sourced online. Li disrupts the pursuit of "perfection" prevalent in her previous advertising profession by employing digital distortion. With meticulous technique, she seamlessly transforms these images into digital paintings. Li intentionally obscures the subjects' original features, rendering them anonymous and universal. This transformative process gives rise to abstract forms that transcend mere human representation, evoking ephemeral impressions through illogical blocks of color and shapes that challenge the viewer's cognitive expectation of familiar boundaries and recognizable contours. Driven by her artistic exploration, Li hopes to push the boundaries of visual representation. She aspires to create a realm where fleeting impressions and the essence of human presence converge, providing a renewed perspective on our collective visual experience. Going beyond aesthetics, Li's artistic methodology delves into the profound impact of digital tools on our perception of beauty and comprehension of reality, embracing their pervasive influence as catalysts for fresh representations and blurred definitions.
