1/18[三] ~ 2/26 [日]Firecracker POP，雷悌～爆竹版畫個展

雷悌出生於台灣 - 高雄市，自小成長於傳統家庭。在爆竹系列作品中主要探討新中華文化與台灣本土文化精神，以當代ｅ世代的角度重解讀新詮釋中華文化，這一系列作品中，常常可以看到以中華文化為主題，融合西方文化元素重新排列組合，以全然不同的視覺樣貌呈現，可見當代中華文化另類表現方式。

在2011年爆竹系列的作品中，可以看到中華文化與西方文化的另類結合，他以自身中華文化為基礎，結合當今全球生活、新聞、時事。擷取普普藝術（POP ART）精神與表現手法，表現手法簡潔、肯定，有時諷刺嘲諷、有時揭發令人省思的議題，可代表當代年輕世代叛逆無裡頭與混合文化衝擊等不同的感受。

在創作媒材方面，其2011年爆竹系列的作品中，以火焰與炮竹烙印複合媒材表現方式為主，以燃燒火焰炮竹當畫筆在紙張與畫布上肆意揮灑。創作程中由於媒材具相當大的不確定與不可控制性，其意外燃燒效果往往出其不意，形成獨特美感；其創作手法不同於前輩畫家火藥創作模式，雷悌採用版畫製作創作原理，分層不同材質物品絕緣鞭炮燃燒，以此更容易控制炮竹火焰在紙張上的燃燒程度範圍，由於此技法更得以更佳控制發揮炮竹的特性，作品風格別樹一格。

其創作作品以視覺美術為主，所呈現的是以不同角度審視自我文化，詮釋新世代中華文化美學。

Lei Ti was born and raised in Kaohsiung, Taiwan with a traditional Taiwanese family. In his Firecracker series, Lei Ti captures the spirit of Chinese and Taiwanese culture. Lei Ti redefines these cultures for the digital generation. As Chinese culture mixes with elements from Western influences, the Fireworks series is about preserving Chinese traditional arts in a new way.

In the 2011 firecracker POP series, we can see the Chinese culture crashing together with Western culture in ways that haven't been seen before. From the Chinese culture as Lei Ti's base perspective, he combines global living, news, current events and global pop culture. He captures pop art skill and thinking. His style is very simple, sure, reflective and often satirical on behalf and for a new mixed culture generation.

In the 2011 Firecracker series Lei Ti uses firecrackers, fire and other materials. He burns the fireworks on the paper or canvas to make the paintings. Using fireworks, there are often accidents, and can't have total control over how the paintings burn.  These accidents on the paper give the finished paintings a unique, beautiful look. Lei Ti's methods are not the same as other, senior fireworks painters. Lei Ti uses the same skills as used in printmaking. Lei Ti uses multiple layers to isolate parts of the paper for burning and make the painting. This method makes it easier to make sure the fireworks burn the right areas of the paper. Since beginning this technique it has gotten easier to control the fireworks. It is Lei Ti's unique style.
