ARTIST INFORMATION
陳 珮怡(チン・ぺイイ)は台湾生まれ。陳は、猫を単に「かわいい」とする一般的な固定観念に挑み、猫本来の姿を誠実かつ繊細に、そして感情豊かに描く。実際に猫と共に暮らしながら、猫のありのままの姿を観察し、愛情を込めて描いており、その想いが作品全体に深く感じられる。伝統的な膠彩(にかわ絵)技法を用い、猫の毛の繊細な質感を丁寧に描き出し、絵具を重ねて毛並みが浮き上がって見えるように表現している。また、カーペットやタペストリーなどの布地における巧みな表現からも、彼女の卓越した技術の幅広さを見て取ることができる。
Chen Pei-Yi was born in Taiwan. She challenges the common stereotype of cats being merely “cute,” portraying them with sincerity, delicacy, and emotional depth. Living with cats herself, she observes and paints them as they truly are, infusing her work with a deep affection that resonates throughout. Using the traditional glue painting technique (nikuhitsu), she carefully renders the delicate texture of feline fur, layering the paint to create a lifelike, raised appearance. Her masterful skill is also evident in her expressive work on textiles such as carpets and tapestries, showcasing the broad range of her artistic expertise.
