袁永康 (b. 1987) ，畢業於國立台灣藝術大學美術學系，之後赴德國進修，2018年德國奧芬巴赫藝術與設計大學文憑。主要以繪畫為創作媒介。
在創作過程中，很少參照草稿，而是將腦海中浮現的影像直接地轉移至畫布上。這樣的「轉移」類似一種從無到有的過程，如同在走擁有多個出口的迷宮：創作者試圖將腦袋中模糊的想法轉換到空白的畫布之上，經過反覆修改、琢磨，在充滿不確定的狀態下發展出 (找到某個出口) 最終的圖像。而最終完成的圖像，與最初的想法經常有很大的出入。「意外」與「即興」在繪畫創作中扮演著相當重要的角色。由此作畫方式，畫作的最終樣貌經常無法預期，與最初的想法有或多或少的出入。作畫過程中偶發的、不在預期之中的效果會被保留下來，成為作畫下一步的依據。作畫時，腦海中所浮現的影像，則多以人的身體為主，有時候也將人體和藝術家工作室裡經常被使用的物件搭配在一起。經由繪畫過程的「轉移」，人體的形體被重塑，脫離了我們對它熟悉的既定印象：它時而精簡到只以圓球以及棒狀物體組成，時而僅僅只是顏料與色塊的揉合與堆疊，並不具有確切的輪廓; 或是結合了植物或昆蟲特徵，以至於觀者無法把它真正當成「人」體來解讀。人體在畫作中以不合乎常理的形態出現，促使觀者重新思考對於身體的認知。我們可以在此提問，當身體不再符合它原有的外在的表象，不再客觀指涉它生物學上的功能，它還可以延伸出甚麼樣的抽象涵義？它是否可視為人類原始本能或是心理狀態的載體？抑或它扮演著外在世界與內在意識的中介角色？

YUAN Yong-Kang (b. 1987), graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan University of the Arts, and went to Germany for further studies. In 2018, he received a diploma from the Offenbach University of Art and Design.
In the creative process, it is rare to refer to drafts, but to directly transfer the images that come to mind to the canvas. This "transfer" is similar to a process from scratch, as in a labyrinth with multiple exits: the creator tries to transform the vague ideas in his head onto a blank canvas, and iteratively revises, ponders, and changes The final image is developed (finding an exit) in a certain state. The final image is often very different from the original idea. "Unexpected" and "improvisation" play a very important role in painting creation. In this way of painting, the final appearance of the painting is often unpredictable, which is more or less different from the original idea. The occasional and unexpected effects in the process of painting will be retained and become the basis for the next step in painting. When painting, the images that come to mind are mostly human bodies, and sometimes the human body and objects often used in the artist's studio are matched together. Through the "transfer" of the painting process, the shape of the human body is reshaped, away from the established impression we are familiar with: it is sometimes streamlined to consist of only spheres and rods, and sometimes it is just a kneading of paint and color blocks Combination and stacking do not have exact contours; or they combine plant or insect characteristics so that the viewer cannot really interpret it as a "human" body. The human body appears in an unreasonable form in the painting, prompting the viewer to rethink the perception of the body. We can ask here, when the body no longer conforms to its original external appearance, and no longer refers objectively to its biological function, what abstract meaning can it extend? Can it be regarded as a carrier of human primitive instinct or mental state? Or does it play an intermediary role in the outer world and inner consciousness?
