念念台灣─關於島嶼的視覺

處在這座大洋中的南方島嶼，尋找一種私密的「永恆」視覺，好像島嶼在每個人心中念之在茲的存在感。

有關色彩的─

島嶼─「它」遍處瀰漫著神秘的幻影，在我瞳孔矇上一層奇特淳厚又樸質的光暈，如果懷著回憶和想像、一種對它的耽溺如愛情般的眼神，就在我畫布上染成歲月精煉研磨的私房色彩。

有關筆觸的─

島嶼─「它」還有一身獨有的質素，用手和身體磨蹭不到的，有如遠看一座山、一汪海洋、一蓊森林；這質素原來只能用視覺上的「觸動」，此番魔力傳達到畫筆，捺擦出渾厚的肌理。

島嶼的自然造物瀝經時光的滔洗，歷史的鎏金，為我訴說「它」在我心頭念之在茲的存在感，孤獨私密的永恆。

Exhibition Date :01.12 Sat..-03.03 Sun.

Opening Reception:11.12 Sat. 15:00-17:00

The contemporary ink artist Huang I-ming, with his “linear abstraction” performance which was derived from a thorough comprehension of the inscriptions of the stone steles “bei” and the writings on finer materials, “tie”, has received international interest from the art scenes of New York, Paris, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taipei following his Exhibition at the Suzhou Museum.

From its black-and-white relationship, it speaks of vigorousness, beauty and elegance. These works cover a large span, ranging from their firm masculinity and raw magnanimity to modesty, delicacy, translucence, thus producing a special cultural characteristic. This capability comes from his sharp aesthetic, as well as his comprehension of the yin and yang of the “bei” and “tie”, and the life he sees around him. Through his giant brush, he reveals his soul deep within, an awakening and emergence of his inner strength, using slow strokes to sketch out the landscape of a winding dream. Together with his ink and wash, which depicts the warmth and quietness of the richness of humanity, he always shows his deep side with simple brushstrokes, which makes people think and become fascinated.

Gallery Sun will bring in the New Year with the “Resplendence” series in 2019, revealing the brilliance of the sun from the golden dazzling flowers, and allowing people to fall in love in a dreamy Prussian blue sentimental ambience. Some of the smaller artworks display either blossoms blooming or twigs climbing, flirtatious and charming, always amicable and dependable, contemplative and unforgettable. These works differ from his previous black-and-white series, with each color adopting a delicateness of “5 different shades of ink” technique, both refined and gentle. It is neither a traditional Chinese realistic painting characterized by fine brushwork nor a complete abstraction.

From calligraphy to ink painting, from ink to life, the artist’s brush strokes describe the reminiscences and the expectations of the heart. A fresh inspiration is awaiting your discovery!

Brief Description of Solo Exhibition “Water City”

Flowing colour segments intertwine with each other within a complex network constructed by structured layers. The architectural form serves as a metaphor for the foundation of modern civilisation. The dynamics of the fluid represents its underlying energy that is a driving source to keep a society lively. Legacy Lab International utilises its own fluid dynamics aesthetics and custom-built digital control technology to create segments of flowing colours in transparent tubes. The three-dimensional structure transforms each work into a micro-architecture that yields a different view from each different angle.

The exhibition “Emergent Nets: Optical Sutras” comprises a three types of artworks, works on paper, works on aluminium, and textile pieces. The pieces all share a common structure in being based on geometries which have been discovered in the late 20th century and early 21st century, including many discovered by the artist is the course of this artistic/ geometric research. The title of the series and exhibition combines two concepts – Emergence, and Sutras.

In philosophy and systems theory, Emergence occurs when “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” meaning the whole has properties its parts do not have. These properties come about because of interactions among the parts. Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry.

The Sanskrit word Sūtra means “string or thread”. The root of the word is siv, that which sews and holds things together and is related to sūnā meaning “woven”. In literature, sūtra means a distilled collection of syllables and words, an aphorism, rule or direction, hanging together like threads with which the teachings of ritual, philosophy, grammar, or any field of knowledge can be woven.

These artworks similarly, are composed by following short geometric rules that weave together to create an optical effect, to make a “kasina” – a Buddhist term for a visual object of meditation. The result is a complex net, path or structure, which has emerged by following a series of rules or procedures, and which possess variable beautiful effects which are revealed only at particular distances from the work. The details appear to be important, but they exist only to embody the system. The closer you get, the less meaning there is, while the further away you stand, the easier it is to comprehend.

The Emergent Net series are not only perceptual art, exploring visual phenomena, they are also intended to inspire philosophical contemplation. The winding paths, hidden patterns, and ordered complexity prompt musings on the nature of the cosmos and our challenge to see it clearly.

Italian artist Aron DEMETZ, born in 1972 Vipiteno, a historical town well known for religious sculptures in Northern Italy. The comprehension of an originally developed craftsmanship and the careful observation of the nature in which he lives are the essence of the Aron Demetz. While Lee Kuei-shien（b. 1937）,one of the icons when it comes to Taiwanese poetry, was invited by Gallery Sun to create poems as a dialogue with Aron’s works.

NTU Center for the Arts and Gallery Sun collaborated to hold this special one-day exhibition on 10^th of March, when they will present selected works of Aron,along with the launch of the publication “Sculture&Poetry- When Taiwanese Poet Lee Kuei-shien Meets Italian Sculptor Aron Demetz”.More sculpture from Aron will be exhibited at the lobby of College of Social Science and it’s library.

As we bid farewell to 2017, Gallery Sun continues to collaborate with the CYF Foundation and puts forth the first exhibition in the Spring of 2018: Professor Huang I-ming’s “Ready to Launch and Unfold.” We wish everyone a happy, prosperous and fruitful new year!

Gallery Sun is in the 3rd consecutive edition of Art Stage Singapore. Last year we exhibited Professor Huang I-ming’s ink wash art, Italian sculptor Aron Demetz’ intriguing artworks and Robert Pan’s splendid creation. In this year’s edition, Gallery Sun expands the floor and will deliver an even more stunning presentation to you.

It will be the first time for Gallery Sun to present Aron’s large size sculpture in Singapore. The viewers can quietly admire Aron’s work up close. Robert’s large size works had a striking presentation last year, but we have chosen the smaller size ones for a totally different sensation. We have also carefully arranged Professor Huang’s work to give viewers a vivid viewing pleasure. In this year’s Art Stage Singapore, Gallery Sun has two new additions of artists. Dimitri Kosiré and Legacy Lab International led by Dr. Ivan Liu.

In Dimitri’s work, it is full of an earthy feeling resonating with inner emotion. He said his works are not only abstract but also a projection of emotions. When he faces the canvas, he feels like facing a piece of mirror or himself and delivers the most truthful emotion of the moment through his paintings. Thus his works naturally come with very strong emotions and we cannot help ourselves but be moved by them. Languages are not required to enter Dimitri’s universe, it is real and one can feel its warmth and heartbeat. Dimitri’s artistic education has the blend of Eastern Europe’s rigidness, Western Europe’s classics, and passion from South America. “Every element is at its original state like the seemly not relevant fragments. However, once the chaotic state is gone, these fragments joined together to become a whole”. Every section of the painting has its dynamics, the use of colors strengthen its expansion in space. It has instigated our respect for nature deep in our spirit.

Legacy Lab International led by Dr. Ivan Liu is an art collective consists of multidisciplinary artists, designers, engineers, and scientists. Their works stem from the research of new materials, technology, and natural phenomena, lying on the borderline between science and contemporary art. The focus of the group is to build, practice and disseminate the creative concept, the methodology and the works coming out from this process. At Legacy Lab International, Science and Technology are treated as the culture itself, not only as tools. Thus, their works often discuss their roles and values in current and future society.

Finally, the special invitation is sent to artist Ni Nyoman Sani from Bali who is a long time Gallery Sun’s friend. She established MotherArt Space two years ago to help those with need through the power of art. This year’s reunion in Singapore will bring more sparkle to the public charity works!

尚畫廊榮幸宣布，將於2017年12月10日至2018年2月11日，於張榮發基金會國際會議中心展覽廳610室，展出書法水墨藝術家黃一鳴個展《秋漾澄懷》。尚畫廊非常高興能在張榮發基金會舉辦此次展覽，張榮發基金會為長榮集團創辦人張榮發先生於1985年成立，長期致力於多元化的社會服務與公益事務。

《秋漾澄懷》為水墨藝術家黃一鳴與尚畫廊合作的第二次個展，呈現藝術家在作品中將書法與水墨融合的抽象表現。他的作品比一般的水墨畫家更具有表現性，能用更簡潔的書法線條來強化、深化整體藝術表現，在他用筆非常精簡幾乎都是書法筆趣的水墨畫中，傳達了非常細緻的整體生命狀態的體悟。

“秋漾澄懷”源自於藝術家對秋天的細察與讚嘆；秋天讓人思緒沈静，如同碑、帖的融合、生命的歷練，在不急不徐中又能參透一些道理。對比春日的百花繁盛或嚴冬的寂靜，當大地染上金黃、一絲橙紅，秋天透露出的蕭瑟與清澈卻最為藝術家所懷念與歌頌。

在此次展覽中，藝術家與主辦單位希望可以在天氣漸涼時帶給觀眾一場溫馨的展覽。透過藝術家的作品與觀眾互動，細細聆聽書法與水墨在藝術家的創作律動中，所呈現的豪情與細膩的對話。

關於藝術家
