Tell Me a Story | Solo Exhibition

Through the suggestive power of color, gesture, and figurative imagery in painting and poetry, I explore the space within duality— the struggle and synergy of opposing forces— in life as in creation. Underlying this exploration is my reflection on the Venusian duality and the symbolisms associated with it— the Moon, femininity, water, fertility, the death and regeneration of nature, and creative energy; the same symbol bears different names such as Ishtar (or Inanna)— queen of heaven and queen of the underworld— the goddess of love and war.

存在於生命與創造裡交互共存的二元力量,彼此拉鋸與交融的張力地帶是我一貫的焦點。

此次我運用繪畫與詩歌裡色彩、筆觸姿態、比喻與意象的象徵力量,探索兩極激盪地帶的新生能量。背後的蘊意,是我對金星(或維納斯)的二元屬性激發人類文明產生的雙重象徵符號之重訪與再塑──陰性、豐饒、愛與戰爭、死亡與再生。

觀看這個概念屬於感知的範疇。對視覺藝術家而言,作品的生命源自於目光感觸所能及。 即便知性的衝動也需暫擱,容許形與色所形塑的世界誕生。
