藝術是否能夠永恆存在? 李昆霖在文章〈繁殖〉中答道:「人創作是為了繁衍人的精神存在，讓生命擴散出肉體的侷限範圍，產生更多的人、生命體、精神象徵、永恆存在⋯⋯解決肉體腐朽敗壞後的存在問題。」 對李昆霖來說，創作的意義或許就是將自己的生命理念傳遞給世人，即便肉體已不復存在，他依然能夠藉由作品將其精神保留下來。
Can “Art” exist forever? Lee Kuen-Lin replied in the article "Reproduction": "Man produces artworks as a means of propagating the existence of the human spirit, thereby allowing life to break free from the limitations of the physical body. In this way, the number of people, living creatures, spiritual symbols, and eternal existence, will always exist… It is a way to solve the problem of existence when the body begins to falter and decay." For Lee Kuen-Lin, the meaning of producing artworks may be to pass on his own concept of life to the world. Even if his body is no longer exist, he can still retain his spirit through his works.
十年間，李珞伊從李昆霖的作品和文章中，漸漸發覺自己對於他仍有許多不了解的面向。她腦海中所存在的也許只是片面、作為父親的李昆霖。她想知道，想了解那些照片中所不熟悉的他。因此，她開始訪問曾經在他身邊的人，希望藉由他們的記憶，勾勒出李昆霖作為藝術家、老師、學生、朋友及父親的形象，並在創作的過程中繼續認識他。在展覽《獨腳仙紀事》中，李珞伊藉由錄像、動畫、網站和模型作品描繪出李昆霖的部分形象，希望透過作品將生命記憶和情感傳遞給大家。
In the past ten years, from the works and articles of Lee Kuen-Lin, Lee Lo-Yi gradually realized that there are still many parts of him which are unfamiliar to her. Perhaps what exists of Lee Kuen-Lin in her mind is only one-sided, as her father. She wants to know the him in the photos that is not familiar to her. Therefore, she began to visit people who were near to him, hoping to outline the image of Lee Kuen-Lin as an artist, teacher, student, friend and father through their memories, and continues to know him in the process of creating artworks. In the exhibition "Chronicle of One-Legged Deva", Lee Lo-Yi portrayed some of Lee Kuen-Lin's images through video, animation, website desing and 3D modeling, hoping to pass on the life memories and emotions to everyone through the works.
/// 關於獨腳仙 About One-Legged Deva ///
只有一隻腳、一雙清澈大眼的「獨腳仙」是2006到2009年李昆霖身前最後系列作品《獨腳仙行旅圖》和《山賦》的主角，是孤獨的象徵，也是他的自我隱喻。李昆霖曾說:「只有一隻腳的時候只能跳，但用跳的反而更快。」獨腳仙系列除了闡述個體本身的孤獨及無所求的心理狀態，也探討了自身與這個世界、大自然之間的關係。
The "One-Legged Deva" with only one foot and a pair of clear eyes is the protagonist of Lee Kuen-Lin's last work series "The Journey of One-Legged Deva" and "Songs of the Mountain" (from 2006 to 2009). They are the symbol of loneliness and also representing himself. Lee Kuen-Lin once said: "One can only jump with only one foot, but it is faster to jump that way." In addition to explaining the individual's loneliness and the psychological state of no desire, the "One-Legged Deva" series also explores the relationship between oneself and the world and nature.
2009年個展《山賦》前夕，李昆霖離開了人世。或許，它正是李昆霖在肉體和靈魂分離前，因淺意識作用所創作出的最後篇章。雖然他的肉體消失了，但他的靈魂卻如同未曾消失一般，依舊存在於他的作品和文章之中。
In 2009, on the eve of his solo exhibition "Songs of the Mountain", Lee Kuen-Lin left this world. Perhaps it is the last chapter created by Li Kuen-Lin of the shallow consciousness before the separation of the body and soul. Although his body disappeared, his soul still exists in his works and articles as if he had not disappeared.
/// 關於李昆霖 About Lee Kuen-Lin ///
生命、母體、大地和孤獨是李昆霖一直在思索及創作的題材。在創作的道路上，他十分堅持自己的信念，自1992年的「邊陲文化」開始，他陸續創立及加入許多由藝術家們共同經營的「替代空間」，包括「新樂園藝術空間」、「原型藝術空間」和「前鋒藝術工作室」，而後他也成立了固定期間聚會的藝術團體「太子畫會」、「米粉俱樂部」和「洋蔥幫」。
Life, body of mother, earth and loneliness are the subjects of Lee Kuen-Lin’s artworks and what he had been thinking about. On the road of creation/producing artworks, he insisted on his own belief. Since the "Border Culture Art Salon" in 1992, he has successively established and joined many "alternative spaces" which was jointly run by artists, including "Shin Leh Yuan Art Space", "Prototype Art Space" and "Pioneer Art Space". Then he also established the art groups in which members met regularly, including " Taizi Painting Association", "Rice-Flour Noodles Club" and "Onion Faction".
