台灣木雕藝術家嚴晨威，1995年出生，畢業於東海大學美術學系，
作品以柔暢且源於自然的線條與朦朧暈彩的冷暖色調，結合原木溫潤有機質地，體現了動感又兼備和諧之美。
除了創作素材取之於自然之外，藝術家在靈感上也深受自然的美好啟迪，晨光與雲彩，拂面清風，漣漪湖泊，都成為了屢屢被召喚的景致。
人物造型雖常具備女性特質，實則亦可凌駕於性別之上，視之為流轉的生命中情感凝聚的具象化身。
許是因個人生命經驗使然，嚴晨威對於生命與時間的無常有著自己的獨特體悟，
2022年雲清藝術《消逝與消釋》個展即是藝術家直面失去的本質，探索自我的過程。
曾經堆積於內心未竟之地的迷惘、遺憾，透過一刀一劃的雕鑿與打磨，
消逝本身強烈的存在感得到了釋然的契機，相對於遺忘，
更近乎轉而成為某種集合融入彼時心境，帶著新的意義往復前行。
展覽主視覺作品〈之間〉，以樟木、染料與金屬製作，身著婆娑長袍的人物秀髮飄逸，神色沈靜，漂浮在藍綠褶皺的波紋中。
流動的時間彷彿乘載了靜止於一瞬，當往昔的餘波仍微微盪漾，即將去到之處也尚未散去迷霧，
但此時此刻，無需殷勤證明，沒有鮮花隱喻，這份存在是如此的真實而泰然，
之間的況味興許也介入了那古老的哲言“No man ever steps in the same river twice. For it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”
Taiwanese wood sculptor Yen Chen-wei’s works are characterised by soft and smooth lines inspired by nature, misty colours with both warm and cold tones, and organic texture of woods, faithfully embodying movement and harmony at the same time. Deeply inspired by the wonders of nature, Yen captures the morning sunshine, colourful clouds, gentle breezes, ripples and lakes in his works. Female characteristics, too, are often found on his figures, but they are in fact beyond a specific sex – These figures speak of feelings people accumulate in their lives.
Probably driven by his personal experience, the artist has a unique understanding of the changing nature of life and the passing of time. In his solo exhibition, Elapsing and Dispelling, Yen takes a straightforward approach to face the essence of loss, exploring his own feelings of loss and regret through carving and sculpting. The elapsing of time ended up giving him a sense of relief, so rather than forgetting, he chose to revisit the past to explore his feelings at the time of the events, from which he also created new meanings to move forward and face the future.
