Jason Shih, Good Art Co. Ltd, has achieved the Platinum Prize in the Sculpture Category of the Future Art & Design Award UK, 2024. His extraordinary work, Beyondness, stands as a testament to his ability to redefine the boundaries of form and space, offering viewers a profound exploration of "emptiness" and "existence."
About Beyondness
In Beyondness, Jason Shih delves into the delicate balance between presence and absence, inviting viewers to rethink their perception of materiality. He examines how "emptiness" is revealed from "existence" and how "existence" becomes defined through "emptiness." This duality is central to the piece’s conceptual foundation.
The sculpture’s volumetric structure provides a tangible sense of form, while the interplay with light and shadow creates an ethereal "empty" space. In this "pericardial emptiness"—a void that encircles and enhances the solid form—the sculpture transcends its materiality, becoming a vessel for interpreting the unseen beauty within.
