Through their creations, one can sense the artistic endeavors and life passion of these diligent artists.

林餘慶&魏杏諭共同創作已逾15年,在他們創作所形成的生態系中,均衡分配的漸層色調,讓畫面豐富而濕潤。這種均勻的用色模式,和油畫顏料發明之前的蛋彩畫與文藝復興時期很普遍的濕壁畫頗為相近,也讓人產生平和穩定的感受,兩位藝術家耐心分配色調和色塊,在繁忙緊湊的生態節奏中,創造了均衡生態。他們的作品具有歐洲宗教壁畫的「共時性」,也就是將很長的一段故事呈現在單一畫面上,讓觀者既能一覽無遺,也能在某個章節中細細品味。時間序跟隨著眼睛所及之處,每一處都有事情正在發生,這種提供觀眾任意瀏覽的自由,讓人更容易沉浸且充滿欣賞樂趣。
LIN Yu-Ching and WEI Hsing-Yu have been collaborating for over 15 years, creating an ecosystem in their works characterized by evenly distributed gradients that make the visuals rich and moist. This uniform color scheme bears similarities to tempera paintings before the invention of oil paints and the prevalent frescoes during the Renaissance. It instills a sense of calm and stability, as the artists patiently allocate tones and blocks of color, creating a balanced ecosystem amid the busy and compact rhythm of life. Their works exhibit a "synchronicity" akin to European religious murals, presenting a long story in a single frame, allowing viewers to both have an overview and savor specific chapters. Time follows the gaze, with something happening in every corner, providing the audience the freedom to explore and immerse themselves in the enjoyment of the art.

他們創作初期便在作品中孕育出「Wulala」這個主角,不但類似引路精靈,同時也是藝術家將自身投射到作品內的意象,而觀者也得以藉由這個角色被帶領著進入藝術家創作的奇幻繽紛想像世界裡。這個世界裡包含了藝術家對未知生活的不安定投射,同時也是他們對未來的熱情期待與想像。隨著時間的演進,Wulala與它的好朋友們也以更多元的狀態出現在我們眼前,藝術家亦藉此與外界表達不同的宣言狀態。林餘慶&魏杏諭的作品還會搭隨著一段謎樣的文字敘述,讓人在觀看原本已無限衍生、交錯纏繞的構圖時,不由得被領往更深度迷幻的世界;然而這些詩句實為兩位藝術家的心情寄託,彷彿黑膠唱盤機般,試圖在低語呢喃之中讀寫出我們腦海中被現實覆蓋住的低聲絮語,並將之以細緻微觀的方式表現出來。
From the early stages of their creations, the artists conceived the character "Wulala" as a guiding elf and a projection of themselves into their artworks. Viewers are led into the fantastical and imaginative world of the artists through this character. This world encapsulates the artists' projection of the uncertainties of life and their fervent anticipation and imagination for the future. Over time, Wulala and its friends appear in more diverse states, serving as declarations of the artists' different emotional states. LIN Yu-Ching & WEI Hsing-Yu's works are accompanied by mysterious textual narratives, leading viewers into a more deeply hallucinatory world. These verses serve as the artists' emotional expression, attempting to unveil the hushed whispers in our minds covered by reality, depicted with intricate and microscopic details.
