To celebrate the founding of Touch Gallery, we are honored to present Kurt Chan as our first highlight of the month, showcasing his Western paintings and ink works “Fa-mular”.
In this exhibition, he explores the energies and momentums of flowers, linking nature to human life. Just as the cycle of human life, flowers grow, bloom and wither. Though flower formula is just a standardized construct for flowers, our imagination upon flowers still blooms wild. Kurt Chan’s “Fa-Mular” presents the polymorphous essence of flowers with his signature blend of Chinese and Western art. Points, lines and surfaces combines, infiltrates and interacts, allowing viewers to feel not only the interconnection of lines and surfaces, but also of the action of painting and strokes. Leveraging his paintbrushes, Chan touches, writes and molds flowers otherwise.
Two years after the establishment of Touch Ceramics, Touch Gallery, opening in November 2020, exhibits artists' painting and ceramic art. Showcasing two -dimensional artworks in the same site, a unique dynamic is created, exploring the possibilities between ceramic art and other media, and thus cultivating a brand new stimulating visual experience for viewers.
為慶祝Touch Gallery的成立，我們十分榮幸邀請到陳育強先生成為藝廊首位展出藝術家，展出他近年西畫及最新水墨作品 - 花程式。
在這次展覽，陳育強探索花與人生的聯繫與互動。花朵與植物是歷來詩詞歌賦的主角，文人雅士脱俗的靈魂。由繁殖，盛放至凋萎，恍若人生的循環。花的自然美於虛與實間遊離。花程式對花卉構築了框架，雖然花品可以公式化地表述，但人類亦賦予她很多幻想。「花程式」系列作品中，陳氏把花卉的變幻無常，化成中、西藝術連結的表像。陳氏將花的缐狀和塊狀，時而抽象，時而具像地表達；點、線、面三者結合，穿插和互動，讓觀者感受到缐條、面塊、繪畫動作和筆觸之間的關係，他以畫筆去觸摸、書寫及雕塑她。
繼 Touch Ceramics 成立兩年後，Touch Gallery於2020年11月誕生，將名家畫作與陶瓷藝術同場展示。平面與立體藝術品同場展出，產生獨特的張力，探索陶瓷與不同媒體藝術的可能性，藉以帶給觀眾全新的視覺震撼，領悟及體驗。
