廖斐在他的创作中探究物质材料之中的关系与张力—— 在现实与几何之间,认知与神秘主义之间,二元性与简单 化之间。廖斐的创作始终以“物质”为线索展开,并对规则及由规则产生的“真相”予以警觉,期望以实践的方式更接 近事物本身。在将注意力引向与这些关系相关的较为宏观 的理念的同时,他的作品同时揭示出日常材料中蕴含的形而上的气质。依托廖斐作品提供的多重视角,物平常难以被观测或被习惯忽略的形态铺陈开来,为理解人认知的构建及运作供予全新思路。

Liao Fei explores the relationship and tension in materials in his works – between reality and geometry, between cognition and mysticism, between duality and simplification. Following the kernel of "material", the creation of Liao Fei has always been alert to the rule itself and its consequent "truth", aspiring to approximate the essence of the material in a more practical approach. While drawing attention to the broader concepts related to these relationships, his works also reveal the metaphysical temperament contained in everyday materials. Consequent to Liao Fei's multifaceted lens, material forms that are generally imperceptible or habitually disregarded manage to gain visibility, providing thus stage for original insight of human cognitive construction and operation.
