Yen Yen-Jui Lai completed her Master's degree in painting and drawing at Pratt Institute in New York, and eventually moved back to Taiwan. An important part of her practice are her daily line drawings. Lai creates drawings of minimal shapes in pencil and water color. The drawings sometimes evolve to become installation pieces with video and sound. While Lai’s works are delicate, dreamlike and whimsical, there is a sense of fear and menace underneath. “The process (of drawing) feels like a battle; after I finish the works, the fear still exists, but I can live with it,“ states the artist.  Lai’s works have been shown in New York and in Taipei.
