非池中藝術網

1932年出生於南京，1949年來台並師從李仲生（1912-1984），1964年前往義大利米蘭，並展開長達50年的旅居生涯，直至2014年才返台定居。作為台灣知名現代藝術團體「東方畫會」的創始成員，霍剛跳脫學院派創作風格，致力於推動「台灣現代藝術運動」，成為其代表人物之一。他的創作早期傾向超現實主義風格，繪畫充滿神秘主義與奇異性，同時著眼於幾何圖形的表現；定居於米蘭後，霍剛受到蒙德里安（PietMondrian,1872-1944）、亞伯斯（JosefAlbers,1988-1976）、卡爾代拉拉（AntonioCalderara,1903-1978）等人的影響，確立了個人幾何抽象的創作途徑，並專注於繪畫本質的探究。

霍剛此種從「超現實主義」逐步到「抽象」的結合與變化，在全球現代及戰後藝術家之中殊為罕見。 分析霍剛的作品，不單就以西方「冷/熱」或「抒情/幾何」抽象的二分方式探究，亦透過其個人的藝術與人生發展，理解作品如何運用西方藝術概念，並融入東方書法、金石印刻等元素，搭配斜出側插的短直線條，以其點、剔、撇、捺之效，構成獨特的詩意韻律與幽默童趣，發展獨樹一幟的東方幾何抽象。霍剛於創作中經常強調的「直觀」（Intuizione），呼應德奇里訶（GiorgiodeChirico,1888-1978）、 卡 洛・卡 拉（CarloCarrà,1881-1966）與莫蘭迪（GiorgioMorandi,1890-1964）等義國大師所推動的「形而上藝術」（Metaphysicalart），提倡「繪畫看不見的事物」（paintingthatwhichcannotbeseen）之內涵所在。 霍剛近期的國內外大展包括2016年於台北市立美術館舉辦「寂弦激韻・霍剛」回顧展，2018年於義大利蒙札皇宮美術館舉辦「形色之外」大型個展，2024年將於南京市立金陵美術館舉辦個人大型回顧展。知名國際策展人沙賓・瓦季尤（SabineVazieux）認為綜觀華人抽象藝術史，霍剛作為從事幾何抽象創作的藝術家，可謂為「華人幾何抽象藝術的先鋒」。

Born in Nanjing, China, in 1932, Ho Kan is a pioneer of Chinese geometric abstraction, and a founding member of Ton Fan Painting Society, a renowned modern art group in Taiwan. He moved to Taiwan in 1949 to study modern art with Li Chun-Shan. In 1956, Ho Kan, and seven other painters (Li Yuan-chia,Wu Hao, Ou Yang Wen-yuan, Hsia Yang, Hsiao Chin, Tommy Chen, and Hsiao Ming-hsien) foundedTon Fan to promote “the Taiwanese modern art movement,” and they have been known as the “Eight Great Outlaws” ever since.1 In 1964, Ho moved to Milan, Italy, where he lived before returning to settlein Taiwan in 2014.

Ho Kan’s early style was mainly surrealist, rendering his early works rather mysterious and spectacular.However, he had already begun exploring geometric shapes in his work during this period. After he moved to Milan, he established his individual use of abstract and geometric shapes, focusing on the essence of painting from basic elements: points, lines, planes, and color blocks. With these elements, he studies the overall composition to develop his unique abstract style. Influenced by Western artistic concepts such as hard-edge abstraction, Ho Kan integrates Eastern calligraphy and the art of seal carving with a minimalist yet poetic visual language to develop his distinctive, Eastern lyrical abstraction. He starts with elemental points, and, from them, he creates his own philosophy about the arrangement of the image, validating the existence of each element. Ho Kan further applies the method of reduction to his abstract art, constructing a more encompassing abstract world, which responds to the Eastern philosophical idea that all things are mutually embracing and complementing.

Major exhibitions of Ho Kan’s work include a joint exhibition with Lucio Fontana at Museo Internazionale d’Arte Contemporanea, Italy (1967), a solo exhibition at Comune di Macerata Pinacotecae Musei Comunali Amici dell’Arte, Macerata, Italy (1979), the Ton Fan and Fifth Moon 25th Anniversary Joint Exhibition, Taiwan Provincial Museum (now the National Taiwan Museum), Taipei, Taiwan (1981), and Solo exhibition of Ho-Kan (1994) and Li Chun-Shan and His Pupils Exhibition (1999), both at the Taiwan Provincial Museum of Fine Arts (now Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts),Taichung, etc. His recent exhibitions include the retrospective Reverberations • HO KAN at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (2016), Beyond Colors and Shapes: A Retrospective of HO Kan at the Villa Reale di Monza, Italy (2018). Ho Kan has exhibited in many countries, including Italy, Switzerland, the US, China, and many more. His works are included in the collections of the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome, Italy; Museo Internazionale d’Arte Contemporanea, Florence, Italy;BAMPFA, US; Taipei Fine Arts Museum; and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan.
