本次Sushi Bau於MAISON ACME｜圓山別邸的首次個展「李其修個展 SUSHIBAU SOLO EXHIBITION」，展出近20件作品，同時探索自身成長過程與人格起源，作為人生一階段性的梳理。主要系列作品皆為藝術家對自身人際關係、情緒流動與內在衝突的觀察紀錄，以「虛構世界」的創作進行「內在覺察」，藉以探索藝術家內在世界的平衡，並與「自我」和諧共處，從而紀錄「自身與自身、他人、社會、創作」之間的關係。希望透過內在的圖像對自我角色進行剖析、探索，並在覺察認知更多自我後，逐步接受不同面向、善惡的自己，與這些角色共存。然而透過作品中多個相似角色的互動關係與型態變化，它們創造出一種寓言式的圖像視覺，同時隱喻人們在日常生活中的心理狀態。

『「我們從何處來？我們是誰？我們向何處去？」年紀慢慢增長，我不再能夠清楚聽見自己的聲音，他就這樣隱沒在了茫茫人群之中，有時我以為那個人就是我，轉過頭來卻又不是，就在這尋覓猜疑的過程中，我已經迷失在了人海裡，每個人都長得一模一樣，就連我自己也是，被迫跟隨他們的推擠不斷前進，無法停下腳步，而我唯一能做的只有把眼前看到的一切都記錄下來。』

2022年的夏天，Sushi Bau開始透過繪畫學習和自己相處，把面對週遭事物、人際關係的感受畫下來，它們反映出一個個行為角色，又構成了一個無邊無際的廣闊世界，永遠也記錄不完，有時候甚至也不知道裡面的形象代表著什麼，各種怪異角色跟隨著他的心理狀態出現。「李其修是誰？」或許李其修從來都不只是一個特定的角色，而是一個不斷變動流動的狀態；或許Sushi Bau所記錄下的這些角色都是他，他們都長得一樣，沒有頭髮、沒有性徵、沒有表情、沒有眼珠，就只是默默地做著他們的事而已。

Sushi Bau （李其修），1998年出生於臺北，實踐大學媒體傳達設計學系所碩士。大學時主修3D動畫設計組，研究所期間轉而接觸2D動畫、雕塑等媒材，而後以「平面繪畫」為主軸進行創作。受到動畫創作的訓練、影響，作品中常以多種事件、故事拼貼組合，呈現出具時間性變化與場景變換的構圖特徵，並透過「虛構世界」為媒介，對自身進行內在覺察的紀錄，藉以梳理體內紊亂情緒的流動，同時隱喻其對自我角色的觀察與反思。

其作品曾於2022年亞洲插畫藝術博覽會、2021年國家電影及視聽文化中心開幕展覽《藏鮮記憶特展》展出，並刊載於《La Vie》雜誌2021年12月號第212期，在學時期動畫短片亦曾入選2021第14屆首爾國際長者電影節。除了本次個展以外，更多作品也將於2023年高雄漾藝術博覽會中展出。

In Sushi Bau’s first solo exhibition at MAISON ACME titled "SUSHIBAU SOLO EXHIBITION", he showcases nearly 20 pieces of works. Through this exhibition, he explores his personal growth and the origins of his identity, as a summary of one phase of his life. The main series of works represent the artist＆#039;s observation on interpersonal relationships, emotional fluctuations, and internal conflicts. Using "fictional world" as a creative platform for "self-awareness", Sushi Bau seeks to find balance within his inner world, harmonizing with his "self", and documenting the relationships between "him and self, others, society, and art". By dissecting and exploring his roles through internal images, he gradually accepts different aspects of himself, both good and bad, coexisting with these roles. The interactive relationships and changing patterns among similar characters in his artworks create a metaphorical visual narrative, subtly alluding to the psychological states of people in their daily lives.

" ＆#039;Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?.＆#039; As I grow older, I can no longer hear my own voice clearly. It fades away amidst the vast crowd. Sometimes, I think that person is me, but when I turn around, it isn＆#039;t. In this period of searching and doubting, I have lost myself in the sea of people. Everyone looks the same, including myself. I am forced to keep moving forward with the crowd, and unable to stop. All I can do is recording everything I see before me."

In the summer of 2022, Sushi Bau began to learn to get along with himself through painting. He depicted his feelings about things around him and his relationships with others. They manifested as various characters, forming an endless, vast world that can never be fully recorded. Sometimes, He don＆#039;t even know what the images inside represent. They just appear along with his state of mind. "Who is Sushi Bau?" Perhaps Sushi Bau is never just a specific character but a constantly changing and flowing condition. Perhaps all the characters he has recorded are him. They all look the same—no hair, no gender characteristics, no expressions, no eyeballs—just quietly doing their things."

Sushi Bau (Chi-Hsiu, Lee), born in 1998, Taipei, Taiwan, holds a master degree in the Department of Communications Design, Shih Chien University. He specialized in 3D animation design in college, but during his graduate studies, he attempted to work with 2D animation, sculpture, and later focused on "painting" as his main creative medium. Influenced by his training in animation, his works often feature a collage of various events and stories, presenting compositional characteristics with temporal changes and scene transitions. Through the medium of "fictional world," he records his self-awareness, aiming to untangle the flow of chaotic emotions within himself. Simultaneously, his works metaphorically reflect his observations on his own character.

His works have been exhibited at the 2022 STAART Illustration Art Fair, and the opening exhibition of the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute in 2021, "Frozen in Time with Memories", which was featured in December 2021 Issue (No. 212) of "La Vie" magazine. One of his animation short film in college was also selected for the 14th Seoul International Senior Film Festival in 2021. In addition to the current solo exhibition, more of his works will be showcased at 2023 Young Art Kaohsiung.
