朝代畫廊很高興向您宣布，我們即將參展《Art Taipei 2021台北國際藝術博覽會》，展位N02，公眾展期為10月22日至25日於台北世貿一館；今年我們將推出草間彌生、林餘慶&魏杏諭、曾上杰與歐靜雲等四組藝術家的經典藏品以及最新力作。值得一提的是，今年除了現場展出，朝代畫廊亦將攜手虛實整合策展平台EchoX與交易平台akaSwap，在展期間首次發行NFT，第一波主打為藝術家組合林餘慶&魏杏諭，預計推出《公路之旅》、《搞笑演員》等十件作品，把實體作品帶進全新元宇宙空間！台灣疫情趨緩，藝術產業堅忍挺過了這次的挑戰，朝代畫廊希望在《Art Taipei 2021台北國際藝術博覽會》能與您「藝」同相會。

 

草間彌生的作品跨越了二十世紀下半葉兩個最重要的藝術運動：波普和極簡主義。她極富影響力的創作生涯中，作品種類包括繪畫、雕塑、表演，充斥整個房間的裝置，文學作品，電影，時裝，設計以及現有建築結構中的介入。2000年以後，草間不斷地獲得世界各地美術館的個展邀約，作品廣為世人知悉，如今已是全世界最有影響力的藝術家。此次朝代畫廊將展出草間彌生最受歡迎的南瓜系列作品，圓潤飽滿的南瓜，是草間年幼時候的回憶，同時也象徵了她對於這個世界的愛。

 

林餘慶＆魏杏諭共同創作至今已超過十年，在他們創造的生態系裡，以平均穩定的色調分配，讓畫面豐富而溫潤，也因此效果非常規律平整，這種平穩的用色模式和油畫顏料發明之前的蛋彩畫和文藝復興時期很普遍的濕壁畫頗接近，這些色料因為使用上無法「揮霍」、不得「揮灑」，因而予人平和穩定的感受，藝術家耐心分配色調和色塊，在繁忙緊湊的生態節奏中，公平地分配色彩，創造了均衡生態。此外，系列作品之間的物件串連，也讓他們的創作產生古時壁畫的共時性──將長篇幅的故事呈現在一片牆上，讓觀者於一眼全覽的同時也能在細節裡悠遊。藝術家筆下的主要角色「烏拉拉」就像是他們自身的化身，不斷地出現在作品畫面之中，像是導遊般地引領我們徜徉在藝術家為作品所創作的心情詩海中，盡情探索。

 

曾上杰專攻木作雕刻，他並不追求形體的精準重現，而是傾向如何將精神感受再演繹。藝術家認為，從繪畫角度看待自己的立體作品，更能表達他的內心對世界的感知，其顏料上色覆蓋著刀痕所產生的隨機性，以及上色後再刻掉的曖昧感，皆是呼應藝術家對於雕刻「減法」的認知，也是一種虛實之間的探索。此次在台北國際藝術博覽會中所展出的《Swinger》系列，看似是曾上杰對年紀相仿的都市青春眾生研調報告，其實是對於路上行人的匆匆一瞥與隨之帶來的延伸想像，藝術家用刀痕表達出速度線，局部細節的留白色塊引發人的想像，一種如同速寫的快意瀟灑油然而生。

 

歐靜雲認為藝術家的繪畫擁有凝結了某個時代給予生命的力道，產生吸納同時又消耗著時代樣貌的幻覺，成為明確的意識。在他的創作中，繪畫好像一座虛構的收容所，存在著我們所處這個時代的各式印記，同時也挽留了那些漸漸消失的記憶碎片，而藝術家有意識地將這些印記碎片收編在同個畫面上，以此產生一種詩性。此為歐靜雲首次於台北國際藝術博覽會展出其作品，將展出六件全新創作。其中《結桃子公園》嘗試以油畫顏料與金箔構築出不同於以往作品的觀感，而《夢境中的杏桃樹1》與《夢境中的杏桃樹2》則加入了古典宮廷畫元素，讓畫面呈現出不同世界彼此交錯的繽紛，也將我們帶入屬於藝術家內心深處的另一種時空。

Dynasty Gallery is pleased to announce that we will attend to Art Taipei 2021, Booth N02. The public days will be October 22 to 25 at Taipei World Trade Center. This year, we will exhibit the creations of Yayoi KUSAMA, LIN Yu-Ching & WEI Hsing-Yu, TSENG Shang-Jie and OU Jing-Yun. Furthermore, we will cooperate with the online-offline curating platform EchoX and trading platform akaSwap to publish NFT of the artist group LIN Yu-Ching & WEI Hsing-Yu’s art during Art Taipei 2021. This is the first time we try to link the physical artworks to the metaverse! The epidemic in Taiwan has slowed down, and the art has withstood the challenge. We hope to meet you once again in Art Taipei 2021.

 

The works of Yayoi KUSAMA spanned the two most important artistic movements of the second half of the twentieth century: Pop and Minimalism. In her influential creative career, her works include paintings, sculptures, performances, installations that fill the entire room, literary works, movies, fashion, design, and interventions in existing architectural structures. Since 2000s, KUSAMA has received solo exhibition invitations continuously from art museums around the world. Her works are widely known to people, and now she is the most influential global artist. This time, Dynasty Gallery will exhibit Yayoi KUSAMA’s most popular pumpkin series. The round and plump pumpkins are memories of Kusama’s childhood and symbolize her love for this world.

 

LIN Yu-Ching & WEI Hsing-Yu starting to co-create have more than ten years. In the world they built, the fixed and regular patterns of color-using make an atmosphere close to Tempera and Frescoes works, bringing people a peaceful and steady experience. In addition, the articles connecting different series has added the synchronicity of ancient murals to these work (to put a whole lengthy story on one wall), which provides the audience with an overview while they immerse in the exquisite details at the same time. The main character “Wulala” is like an avatar of the artists and always appeared in the works. As a guide, it brings us to discover and wander about unhurriedly in LIN & WEI’s poems which are created for the artworks.

 

TSENG Shang-Jie specializes in wood carving. He does not pursue the precise reproduction of the form but tends to reinterpret the spiritual feeling. The artist believes that looking at his three-dimensional works from the perspective of painting can be better expressing his inner perception of the world. The randomness generated by the color of the paint covering the knife marks, as well as the ambiguity of coloring and then engraving, both echoing the artist's cognition of the "subtraction" of sculpture is also an exploration between reality and nihility. The "Swinger" series exhibited at Art Taipei this time seems to be TSENG's research report on urban youths of similar age with the artist, but it is a quick glimpse of pedestrians on the road and the extended imagination that follows. The artist uses knife marks to express the speed line, and the blank color of details trigger people's imagination. Like sketches, a kind of pleasant and unrestrained style emerges spontaneously.

 

OU Jing-Yun thinks an artist has the power to condense a life force given by an era into a painting. During the process of making an artwork, an artist absorbs as well as consumes the illusion of the era to transform it into a specific image. Painting itself is an imaginary shelter among his creation. With the filled self-identity, he made painting incorporate the shapes of life, which turns into frantic whisper and limited poetics. This is the first time OU attends to Art Taipei, and his 6 newest will be presented. "Peach Tree Park" tries to build different impression from the other works before by oil and golden leaf. "Peach Tree in Dreamland 1" and "Peach Tree in Dreamland 2" add the elements of classical court painting, let the images present the profusion of distinct universes which across with each other. These also bring us into another world in the artist's mind.
