當我們的視覺世界裡只剩下皮；黏滿了絢爛華麗而稀薄的圖像表皮，視覺化的烏托邦形象取代了大眾對家園的想望，而我們內心深處所冀望的真實美好，會在哪裡呢？

我想要做的是「房子及風景貼皮」。
在台灣，無論是房產或是觀光旅遊產業，都普遍存在著一種表皮製造的消費景觀；老屋翻新及都市更新積極的更換著房屋的外型、建材來刺激消費，觀光、旅遊產業更以絢麗的風景圖像來企圖喚醒消費者對天然地景的無限想望，然而在這類的消費過程中，多數的參與者早已在無形中失去對住屋及大自然的身體經驗及歷史思維；取而代之的是嶄新的、潔淨的新建房屋和鮮艷、廣闊的自然環境，這類的圖像充斥的都市生活的每個角落，以看板、雜誌及網路等，短暫而大量的塞滿了我們的眼睛。

因此我描繪某種貼皮的狀態；以老房子、鐵皮屋和風景圖像為題材，試圖讓觀者在看畫作時感受到其彷彿可撕取的視覺經驗，亦或一種稀薄的建構狀態，艷麗的風景在我的作品中並非寫生，而是一種經過影像處理及擷取的圖像；房屋的表皮及迷你的風景貼圖對我而言就像多數人對消費慾望的縮影，具短暫時效性的貼皮狀態即是我想藉由繪畫來傳達的。

《a piece of Scenery》Solo Exhibition by Tsai, Yi-Chieh

While our visual world is nothing left but “skins”, filled with posh but superficial sticker-like pictures, the visualized Utopia images have taken over our cravings for real home town. Moreover, deep down in our innermost, where will be the true happiness and beautifulness we long for?

“House stickers” and “scenery stickers” are my main creative themes. 
In Taiwan, whether it is in real estate or tour operating business, there is a “sticker producing” phenomenon existing in our environment and our consuming culture. Old house renovation and urban redevelopment are actively modifying the appearance of houses, changing different building materials to boost consumption. 

Moreover, tour operators use magnificent scenery images, attempting to arouse consumers’ infinite yearning for natural landscape. However, with this type to consuming process, mostly, people involved are imperceptibly losing their true experiences of our ancestors’ down-to-earth attitude and the historical thinking of housing and Mother Nature. Instead, they are served with brand-new, clean and lately-constructed houses and vividly-designed and overwhelming natural environment. These images are rampant in every corner of our society, briefly but largely cramming our eyes through billboards, magazines and the Internet. 
Therefore, I am trying to depict the “sticker” phenomenon, employing old houses, metal shacks and scenery images as creative materials to create a visual experience that the viewer, while looking at paintings, should feel that they can easily peel off either the houses or the scenery, or feel that those houses and scenery are in a hollow and superficial state. The colorful scenery in my painting is not an outdoor sketching but a processed and captured image. For me, “house stickers” and mini “scenery stickers” are the epitome of most people’s consuming desires, and the temporary “sticker” state is what I want to convey through my paintings.
