李奈珍
李奈珍1980年出生南韓大田廣域市，2011取得首爾弘益大學藝術博士學位。
作品參展於國內各地藝術機構，並曾受邀到倫敦、紐約、洛杉磯、東京、新加坡及香港等重要城市畫廊/博覽會展出，曾獲頒2014/2016年Chunyowu展獎、釜山/城山美術館西畫組金獎等，作品典藏於國立現代美術館藝術銀行及國際貿易局。
李奈珍作品生動呈現動物柔軟蓬鬆的毛皮、靈動有神的雙眼以及鑲嵌各式精巧明豔寶石的皇冠和項鏈，隨不同視角變化輝映出細緻光芒，賦予角色鮮活的生命力。小獅崽雙眼流露出自信與好奇心，不禁聯想到我們的童年時期，人的生命歷程從出生、童年、成年、老年直至死亡，在每個階段對未知世界的恐懼、不可預測性及現實描摹都有各自的體悟及轉變。
值得一提的是，李奈珍的作品運用特殊的「擠花技術」，即將顏料注入針管，再進行擠壓，創造表面的起伏肌理，獨具的手法增添畫面層次，光影在不同的距離或角度皆詮釋出各異樣貌，呈現豐富視覺效果。
Lee Najin was born in 1980 in Daejeon Gwangyeoksi, South Korea.
In 2011, she completed her doctor’s degree in art at Hongik University, Seoul. Her artworks were not only exhibited in art organizations all over the country but also be invited to several galleries and fairs where in the capital cities such as London, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong. She won Chunyowu Exhibition Award and Busan/Sungsan Art Exhibitoin Prize in Western painting and so on. Her works are now possessed by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (2007) and Korea National Museum and Contemporary Art’s Art Bank (2008,2010).
Diverse animals are shown in Lee Najin's artwork with vibrant details, lively fur, brilliant eyes, and crowns and necklaces decorated with small pieces of jewels. The tiny, shimmering sparks come alive as one approaches and admire from different angles; and can even bring the characters to life. The animal's eyes convey both confidence and curiosity. The paintings' depictions of youth animals can be interpreted as a person's childhood. Human lives consist of birth, childhood, adulthood, senior age, and death. The terror of an unknown world, unpredictability, and adult realities are similar to a journey that every person must experience at some point in their lives.
Something special to point out is that Najin uses the “Squeezing Technique”, which is a method of squeezing paints by putting them into tubes. The way of this special approach makes the paintings richer with many layers if you go closer. The light and shadow may look different from diverse distance or angle. Moreover, the background of the painting is detailed with the uneven surface and the subtle glitters, which provide shadows for viewers to discover the hidden stories.
