예술가 소개
Kulele, a Paiwan artist from the Ma-er Village, Sandimen Township, has been passionate about creating arts since childhood. After serving in the military for a decade, he has become a determined and devoted artist. Sprouted as a self-taught, he followed the Paiwan master artist Sakuliu in conceptualization and techniques as his path as a sculpturer was initiated. As a multi-talented artist, Kulele works with conventional materials such as wood and stone and mixed media, including recycled scrap metal. He looks for used car parts and hardware in mechanic’s garages. He turns them into arts, bringing out the total flexibility and malleability of the cold and stiff metal bones with his unique and streamlined shapes.
Ever since he started his artistic journey, Kulele has a keen affinity with the East Coast. Back when the Taiwan Indigenous folk arts started raising awareness as one of the contemporary art forms, he met Rahic Talif. He is a pioneer artist who returned to the Gangkou Village in the 1990s to draw nutrients from the mother culture. Kulele met other indigenous artists of similar ages. They have returned to the villages on the East Coast, such as Siki, Iming, and Tafong.
The unique, diverse, inclusive, and liberal artistic climate of the East Coast is very attractive to Kulele, not to mention that he has made so many like-minded and mutually beneficial friends over here. Therefore. he has been moving back and forth between Sandimen, the homeland where he can never leave, and the
East Coast, the place he loves. His arts also combines both the tribal folk arts of the profound subtleness of the mountain slope and the linear fluidity of the ocean waves.

눈은 한 사람의 내재된 영혼과 외재적인 세계의 경계에 인접한 통로이다.
동해안의 산과 바다가 한 데 뒤섞여진 아름다움은 시각상으로 웅장하고 아름다울 뿐만 아니라,
사람의 영혼을 씻을 수 있는 거대한 에너지를 가지고 있다.
