李建中先生，1923年生於山東煙臺，早年任職軍旅美工繪圖，隨國民政府遷臺，1951年退役。1966年主持現代畫會，1969、1971年曾兩度受邀參加巴西聖保羅國際雙年展，1978年旅居美國至今，仍孜孜不倦於藝術創作。由於李先生長期從事工業美術設計，對媒材工具、創新技法的使用多元多樣，創作媒材舉凡油畫、彩墨、版畫、壓克力、書法、複合媒材等，擅用媒材且不受派別拘束。李先生嘗將研習工業設計與印染之技術用於繪事，其個人許多獨創技法包括：打洞、凹凸皴、破彩、壓印沙石、噴霧、螢光繪畫、特殊蠟染等，在繪畫平面上營造出立體感與特殊質感。由於李先生運用簡單的幾何線條構築畫面，形下的素材及簡潔的線條，建構成一種形上的思維空間，讓觀者產生聯想或共鳴。綜觀李先生之畫作，經東西方文化洗禮薰陶之下，可謂引西潤中，兼顧傳統與現代，融合古今技法於一爐，而又能獨樹一格卓然成家。

Mr. Chien-Chung Li born in Yantai, Shandong, China in 1923, held the post in the army as an art designer and drafter in his early carrier, and then he followed the government to Taiwan and retired in 1951. In 1966, Mr. Li presided at the Modern Painting Associations, and was invited to join the exhibitions in Saint Paul, Brazil in 1969 and 1971 respectively. Till now Mr. Li has still been diligently in art creation since he immigrated to the US in 1978. Because Mr. Li is engaged in industrial fine art design for long time, he is good at using such media as oil painting, color ink, engraving, acrylic, calligraphy, and multiple media etc. freely.
Mr. Li had tried to apply his industrial design and printing & dying on painting. His many unique techniques include: punching, paintings with cracks on concave and convex, broken-color, impression printing of sands and stone, spray, fluorescent painting, and special batik etc. producing 3-D feeling and special quality. Because Mr. Li uses simple geological line to construct picture, so that the practical materials and simple line construct a kind of abstract thinking space allowing viewers to produce associate thinking or resonance. Mr. Li’s work sometimes expresses the feeling of boundless vigor and vast space. Under the gradual influence of eastern and western cultures, Mr. Li considers both traditional and modern features and mix ancient and modern techniques to become a unique master.
For this exhibition, Mr. Li is kind to promise the invitation of this Center and provide his elaborate works near 40 years to viewers, and will hold the art education lecture during the term of exhibition. Mr. Li will generously open his whole-life creation technique and painting idea in order to deepen the teaching contents of school’s art education and achieve the purpose of promoting art education.
