非池中藝術網

作品場景設定在美國66號公路上的經典美式餐廳，追溯速食文化興起的歷史，顯示藝術為滿足市場需求而快速生產符號的轉變。畫中主廚料理鼠王為了振興生意，巧妙地將浮世繪、斑馬等符號轉化為獨特菜餚，引起客人競價。這場美食拍賣會反映當代藝術市況，有混雜的、多變的、獨特的、實驗性的、革命性的，藝術家試圖探問觀者，需要專業學識與研究才能分辨出什麼是真材實料？或是口味強勁卻曇花一現？還是入口苦澀在一段時間後溢出甘甜的滋味？背後隱含對於藝術本質的思考。

This time, the classic American diner on the iconic Route 66 becomes the canvas for the artist, to explore the history of the rise of fast-food culture and showcase the transformation of art into symbols, as a response to the market’s heavy demand. The painting features the rat chef Remy from the movie Ratatouille, and ingeniously transforms symbols such as ukiyo-e and zebras into unique dishes to stimulate business, sparking a bidding war among customers.

This gourmet auction imitates the current state of the contemporary art market, featuring a blend of diverse, variable, unique, experimental, and revolutionary elements. The artwork challenges the viewers to consider whether professional knowledge and research are necessary to differentiate authenticity or if art is merely a fleeting sensation—bold in its initial impact but quick to fade. Or perhaps a bitter taste that turns into sweetness over time? Depicted within the artwork, “Remy’s Contemporary Molecular Gastronom” served as a mirror, reflecting the dynamic relationship between art, culture, and commerce, as well as the importance of the essence of art.
