當代一畫廊 A GALLERY
當代一畫廊長期深耕台灣當代藝術，持續關注藝術家的創作發展，也透過展覽、藝術顧問與各類空間合作，建立作品與不同觀者之間的連結。我們相信，藝術不只存在於展場，也能進入建築、公共空間與日常生活，在不同環境中展現其獨特的價值與意義。
自畫廊成立以來，負責人李恬寧持續投入台灣藝術家的推廣與展覽策劃。多年來，當代一畫廊與不同世代、不同創作領域的藝術家合作，始終重視作品本身以及藝術家的長期發展，同時透過展覽與海外合作，持續拓展台灣藝術與國際藝術界之間的交流。
畢業於米蘭布雷拉美術學院（Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera）的李恬寧，自幼亦深受父親、台灣現代藝術重要藝術家李錫奇的影響。學院的專業訓練，以及長年身處藝術環境所累積的經驗，使藝術成為她生活與工作中始終熟悉的一部分，也奠定了日後經營畫廊與藝術工作的基礎。
李錫奇是台灣現代藝術發展中極具代表性的藝術家之一。除了個人的創作成就之外，他也曾投入畫廊經營與藝術交流。在他的策劃與聯繫下，包括朱德群、趙無極等海外重要華人藝術家，以及來自中國大陸、香港、菲律賓、泰國、日本等地的現代藝術家，都曾與台灣藝術界展開密切交流。自二十世紀八○年代以來，李錫奇及其所主持的畫廊，也成為台灣現代藝術發展歷程中重要的一環。
在這樣的藝術背景與多年實務經驗之上，當代一畫廊逐步建立起自己的專業方向。除了展覽策劃、藝術家推廣與國際交流，畫廊的工作也延伸至藝術顧問、公共藝術，以及建築與各類空間的藝術規劃。
多年來，當代一畫廊參與不同類型的藝術規劃與執行，作品涵蓋繪畫、雕塑及其他媒材。每一個空間都有不同的條件，因此我們從建築、尺度、環境與整體設計出發，選擇適合的藝術家與作品，並參與作品尺寸、媒材、製作、配置及現場安裝等環節，讓藝術與空間之間形成自然且完整的關係。
對我們而言，將藝術帶入一個空間，並不只是放置一件作品。好的藝術規劃，應該讓作品與建築彼此呼應，同時保有藝術本身的獨立性。從公共空間、建築公設、企業場域到私人空間，不同的環境需要不同的思考，而這也是當代一畫廊多年來持續累積的專業與經驗。
今日的當代一畫廊，仍從藝術家與作品出發，在展覽與藝術推廣之外，也持續拓展公共藝術、空間規劃及不同形式的跨領域合作。我們期待讓更多優秀的台灣藝術被看見，也希望透過專業而細緻的規劃，讓藝術自然地進入建築、城市與生活之中。
A Gallery has long been dedicated to contemporary art in Taiwan, with a continuing focus on the development of artists and their practices. Through exhibitions, art consultancy, and collaborations across a range of spaces, the gallery creates connections between artworks and the people who encounter them. We believe that art extends beyond the gallery space; it can become part of architecture, public environments, and everyday life, taking on distinct meaning in each setting.
Since establishing A Gallery, Sissy Lee (Li Tien-Ning) has been actively involved in promoting Taiwanese artists and curating exhibitions. Over the years, the gallery has worked with artists across different generations and disciplines, with a consistent emphasis on the quality of the work and the long-term development of each artist. Through exhibitions and international collaborations, A Gallery continues to expand opportunities for exchange between Taiwanese artists and the international art community.
A graduate of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, Sissy Lee also grew up under the influence of her father, Lee Shi-chi, a significant figure in the development of modern art in Taiwan. Her formal training in art, together with years immersed in an artistic environment, provided the foundation for her later work in gallery management, exhibition planning, and art consultancy.
Lee Shi-chi holds an important place in the history of modern art in Taiwan. In addition to his achievements as an artist, he was actively involved in gallery management and artistic exchange. Through exhibitions and connections he helped establish, prominent Chinese artists based overseas, including CHU Teh-Chun and Zao Wou-Ki, as well as modern artists from Mainland China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, and elsewhere, developed close exchanges with Taiwan's art community. From the 1980s onward, Lee Shi-chi and the gallery he directed formed an important part of Taiwan's modern art development.
Building on this artistic background and years of practical experience, A Gallery has developed its own professional direction. Alongside exhibitions, artist promotion, and international exchange, the gallery's practice has expanded to include art consultancy, public art, and art planning for architectural and other spatial environments.
Over the years, A Gallery has undertaken a wide range of art planning and implementation projects involving paintings, sculpture, and works in other media. As every space presents different conditions, each project begins with careful consideration of the architecture, scale, surroundings, and overall design. The gallery is involved in the selection of artists and artworks, as well as the coordination of scale, materials, production, placement, and on-site installation, with the aim of creating a natural and considered relationship between art and space.
For us, bringing art into a space is about more than simply placing an artwork within it. Thoughtful art planning allows a work to engage with its architectural surroundings while retaining its own artistic identity. From public spaces and residential developments to corporate and private environments, each setting calls for a different approach. This understanding has become an important part of A Gallery's professional experience over the years.
Today, A Gallery continues to place artists and artworks at the heart of its practice. Alongside exhibitions and artist promotion, we continue to develop public art projects, spatial art planning, and interdisciplinary collaborations. Through this work, we hope to bring greater visibility to outstanding Taiwanese artists and to create thoughtful opportunities for art to become a natural part of architecture, cities, and everyday life.
