展覽於 #廣東美術館 的「李真：大氣神遊」，策展人 #吳洪亮 於展中寫下令人印象深刻的隨筆：
「2017 年盛夏，在 #台北當代藝術館 為 #李真 策畫『世：一場自願非願的游浮』，以『來、往、入、出』四章，梳理他從精神造像到現世反思的創作脈絡，聚焦人性、生存與存在的辯證。
那場展覽是我與李真深度對話的起點，亦是對其藝術體系在台灣的首次系統性呈現。近十年後，與李真在廣東美術館新館以『大氣神遊』再聚，將他最具標識性的系列及最新作品完整集結，既是創作生涯的裡程碑式回望，亦是精神脈絡的遞進式展開。
之於李真的雕塑本就是自帶氣場，自會沉默而溫暖的言說：在青銅、泥土的重量裡，藏著最輕盈的魂魄；在渾圓靜默的造型間，湧動著生命最本真的動能。輕與重、虛與實、出世與入世、形骸與心神，在他的創作裡從不對立，而是自然相融，蔓延出一縷生命的哲思。
作為來自臺灣的藝術家，李真的根脈深植東方，卻從未被地域、範式與傳統所束縛。他取禪之空靈、道之逍遙，不造偶像，不逐表像，只以氣韻為引，以心性為燈，讓每一尊雕塑都擁有自由呼吸的生命。更難得的是，他的作品裡藏著一絲不易察覺的幽默，一種穿越人性的歡愉，在沉鬱肅穆的黑色場域中，不顯張揚，卻能自發光亮，讓有些蕭瑟疏離的世界忽然變得柔軟、可親近。
總之，李真的作品獨出一脈，不逐潮流，可不附言說，更不必求解。此展，只需共一場自在神遊，無界、無重、無縛。（2026年2月28日於北京望京）」

For 'Li Chen: Spiritual Journey through the Great Ether' at the Guangdong Museum of Art, curator writes:
"In the summer of 2017, I curated the exhibition 'Being: In/Voluntary Drift' for at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei, Taiwan. Structured in four chapters—'Arriving, Leaving, Entering, and Exiting'—it traced his creative evolution from spiritual iconography to reflections on the contemporary world, focusing on the dialectics of humanity, existence, and being. That exhibition marked the beginning of my in-depth dialogue with Li Chen and was the first systematic presentation of his artistic system in Taiwan, China. Nearly a decade later, we reconvened at the Guangdong Museum of Art's Bai’etan venue with 'Spiritual Journey through the Great Ether,' a comprehensive gathering of his most iconic series and latest works. It serves both as a milestone retrospective of his creative career and a progressive unfolding of his spiritual trajectory.
Li Chen's sculptures inherently possess their own aura; they speak in a silent, warm language. Within the weight of bronze and clay, the lightest souls reside. Between the rounded, silent forms surges life's most genuine (dòngnéng – dynamic energy). Lightness and heaviness, void and solidity, worldly detachment and engagement, the physical body and the spirit—these are never opposing forces in his creations. Instead, they naturally merge, emanating a strand of life's philosophy.
As an artist from , Li Chen's roots run deep in the East, yet he has never been bound by region, convention, or tradition. He draws from the ethereal emptiness of Zen and the unfettered freedom of Daoism. He does not create idols, nor does he pursue superficial appearances. Guided by spiritual resonance and illuminated by inner nature, he allows each sculpture to possess a life that breathes freely. More remarkably, his works harbor a subtle, elusive humor, a joy that traverses human nature. Within the solemn, somber black fields, this quality does not assert itself but radiates its own light, softening a world that can sometimes feel cooling and alienating, making it suddenly warm and approachable.
In short, Li Chen's body of work stands on its own unique path, not chasing trends, requiring no appended explanations, and certainly needing no interpretation. This exhibition simply invites a shared, carefree roaming of the spirit—boundless, weightless, and unfettered."
