Patrick Lee 李紹榮 (TAIPEI)

Even though, Patrick Lee is a finance graduate from National Chengchi University in Taiwan, he has had passion for art and decided to become an artist. For more than two decades, Patrick Lee has exhibited works across different countries in the world. His use of silk-screen painting techniques gives his work more richness and imagination. He has also become an internationally collected artist after his paintings were all sold at his first European gallery exhibition in Denmark in 2002. He was then invited to take part in the Venice Trienniel and the Milan Expo 2015 International Contemporary Art Exhibition.

"我最大的愿望就是将亲自创作、表现中华文化博大精深的作品，让中外人士人士喜欢与收藏，让悠久灿烂的中华文化传遍世界。"从高雄贫苦农村走出来的台湾知名画家李绍荣表达了其创作作品的内在动力。

李绍荣擅长的绘画技巧有多媒材、丝网和当代绘画，艺术特色则为，以当代艺术手法和他特有的视角，呈现出中国文化、历史和人物，古今融汇的精神和时代掠影。用丙烯及作画的材料在帆布、钢板上创作的李绍荣，十几年来，作品收藏者从欧美的艺术爱好者到知名品牌业者，还有不少世界 500大企业的高级主管，都是他画作的喜爱和收藏者。比如汽车业的奔驰、法拉利，精品业的 LV、Dior，Nike、Intel，波音飞机和康宁玻璃，以及麦格理银行、七匹狼集团等中外著名机构及人士。

从小就对绘画产生了浓厚兴趣，最初的绘画是以树枝或木棍在泥土上不断的练习。家庭没有财力让李绍荣去学习正规专业的绘画技巧，在大学时，他才有机会将生活费节省下来，购买油画材料。后来成为一位成功的商人，可是对艺术的喜爱始终没有放弃，绘画一直是他生活的一部分。中年过后，李绍荣越来越投入儿时就向往的艺术生涯，最终成为一名职业画家。

用追求一种精神境界，他的作品在拍照时，都时常会有高光、立体和灵动效果。李绍荣认为："艺术不只是呈现‘美’，而是要有其民族和文化认同感，以及归属感。当代华人艺术家，唯有如此才能把古今的‘精神’融合展现出来。"
