《Folded Corners》指的是書頁被摺起的一角。這是個不正式的標記，介於私密與公開之間的動作，豪不張揚，卻明確指出了值得被關注的節點，揭示了某種尚未展開的重量。在本展中，Yi-Shuan Lee 以帶有卡通風格的線條介入畫布空間，他對於筆觸、結構與線條等視覺形式的強調，闡述了一種介於壓抑與渴望之間的狀態。圖像邊緣被黑色輪廓圈定，像一種大聲疾呼。這些畫面乍看輕巧，實則傳達出一種，來自年輕世代被迫在前代之期待，與文化碎片中自我定位的焦躁。Yi-Shuan Lee 讓我們看見，在這樣的混亂中，標記變得迫切；摺角，成為了一種對自我與他人理解的懇求，也是一種對敘事壟斷的抵抗。
Ray Han 的畫布是一種皮膚的延伸，透過簡化線條與斑駁如洞穴壁畫或表皮肌理般的風格，將刺青圖騰式的形象，建立起既個人又集體的視覺語言。他的創作語氣既堅定又保留，就像一個不打算全部揭開的標記。圖像背後不點明故事，而留下足以投射的空間。他的藝術來自於與日常綁定的經驗，圖像如刺青，是對某段經歷的印記，也是對歷史與現實之間裂縫的默記。
《Folded Corners》不是一個結束，而是一個入口，是兩位藝術家共同摺起的一角。Yi-Shuan Lee 與 Ray Han 試圖提醒觀者，某些敘事還沒說完，某些結構還未展開，某些位置，還需要在時軸上，被反覆回來理解。邀請觀眾進入被摺起的角落裡，在這座文化交疊的城市轉角，留給我們所有人一場超現實的夢。
River City Bangkok proudly presents “Folded Corners,” a pop-up exhibition curated by RIVER ART GALLERY, featuring Taiwanese Canadian artist Yi-Shuan Lee and Taiwanese artist Ray Han. Both artists, born in Taiwan but shaped by different upbringings and distinct artistic languages, unite for this special showcase in Bangkok, Thailand.
“Folded Corners” refers to the turned corner of a book page. This informal marker exists between privacy and public display—understated yet deliberately pointing to nodes worthy of attention, revealing a certain weight not yet fully unfolded. In this exhibition, Yi-Shuan Lee intervenes in the canvas space with cartoon-styled lines. His emphasis on brushstrokes, structure, and linear visual forms articulates a state between suppression and desire. The edges of his images are defined by black outlines, resembling an urgent cry for attention. Though seemingly light at first glance, these images convey the anxiety of a younger generation forced to position themselves between the expectations of previous generations and fragmentary cultural influences. Yi-Shuan Lee demonstrates that amid such chaos, marking becomes urgent; the folded corner becomes both a plea for understanding of self and others, and a form of resistance against narrative monopolization.
Ray Han’s canvases function as extensions of skin. Through simplified lines and mottled styles reminiscent of cave paintings or epidermal textures, he establishes tattoo-like imagery that creates a visual language both personal and collective. His creative voice is simultaneously assertive and reserved, like a marker intentionally left partially concealed. The stories behind his images remain unspecified, leaving space for projection. His art emerges from experiences bound to daily life—images like tattoos that mark certain experiences while silently recording the gaps between history and reality.
“Folded Corners” is not an ending but an entrance—a corner jointly folded by both artists. Yi-Shuan Lee and Ray Han remind viewers that some narratives remain unfinished, some structures have yet to unfold, and some positions need to be repeatedly revisited along the timeline to be fully understood. They invite viewers to step into these folded corners, leaving us all with a surreal dream at the crossroads of this culturally intertwined city.
