「線」是藝術創作的基礎，線條所勾勒出的不僅是輪廓，也描繪出其形體及結構。阿波羅畫廊這次的展出將由七位藝術家，以「線」為發想，運用不同媒材，結合抽象、具象的風格，呈現一場豐富的視覺饗宴。

現代版畫會創辦人江漢東的作品結合通常以名間傳說為主題，他藉由線條切割出畫中人物景象之立體感，更以鮮明飽滿的色彩烘托出自然純樸的童趣。江漢東步步克服眼疾的困擾，運用畫筆和線條帶給世界一抹華麗熱鬧的色彩，讓欣賞者更能從中品味人生的喜樂悲酸。展出的作品為1960-70年代間之油畫、木雕版畫及複合媒材，依時序為「親情」、「牛郎織女」和「家祀」。

已逝的旅美畫家陳家榮以抽象表現主義的風格呈現一張張粉彩作品。身兼腦神經權威醫師及虔誠的教徒的在畫作上表現出他宏觀的視野和對生命的熱忱。其作品「春之際」便是他運用柔和的粉彩顏料及白色的輪廓線條，描繪出春天的韻味。

對於台灣抽象藝術發展具有重大貢獻的葉竹盛，近幾年間他將關注的議題由顯性轉為隱性的表達，檢視自我變化的過程中產出了強而有力的系列作品，如「成真」、「試煉」。他以對比顏色及符號，呈現出自己獨一無二的風格。

以「貓畫家」美名享譽國際的日本藝術家高橋行雄，曾連續十年獲選參展法國Le Salon，本為愛貓飼主的他，透過對貓咪細微的觀察，創作出一張張栩栩如生的貓的姿態。此次展覽中「貓的zz」便是他在2010年間運用色鉛筆，描繪出貓伸懶腰的柔軟和輕盈的姿態。

自80年代起活躍於畫壇的女性抽象藝術家洛貞，在水墨創作歷程中以兩類、五階段的方式漸進演變，從2011年起的十年間，演化出以「複弦的迴轉」作為整體畫風的解釋。展出作品中於2016年創作的「秋歌」，便是以彩墨在宣紙上以髮絲般的細線，結合迴旋的流線走向和多彩，呈現出來回擺盪、迴轉、和擴張的意象。

擅長人體繪畫及雕塑的藝術家呂豪文，藉由長年累月對於人體與生活的觀察、體驗、詮釋，培養出一套屬於自己的創作風格。「敬禮」及「仰坐」便是他將人體部位比例改變、縮放和簡化的代表作品。

新銳藝術家林玉雯，自大學時代便立定以抽象為創作語彙的她，透過自身經歷和細膩的觀察，揮灑出色彩鮮明舒服的「Horizon」系列作品。「茶歇」系列，則以壓克力顏料和簡單的線條配色，為繁忙的現代社會增添一股清幽。

盼觀者能從藝術創作的基礎觀察，進而融入其藝術作品的形體及結構之美。在這搖擺不定的2020，台中藝博依然克服困難如期舉行。期間阿波羅畫廊和眾多藝術家們重新審視藝術在生活中的定位，盼望雖身處世間紛擾，依舊能與藝術熱愛者和藏家們一同品味和感受藝術之美。

期待您蒞臨台中藝博阿波羅畫廊1117號展間!

‘Line’ is the primary element of art creation, not only does it form shape, but also establishes form. At the ART Taichung 2020, the Apollo Gallery brings to you 7 artists, fusing mixed media with abstract and figurative arts, conceiving a sensational visual feast.

One of the founders of Modern Graphic Art Association- CHIANG Han-Tung, focused his artwork on Chinese folktales. He utilised lines; bright, vivid colours; and three-dimensional effects as the fundamentals of his art to express a natural, childlike atmosphere. Step by step, CHIANG overcame his eye disease and brought the world a touch of joy. This collection includes oil paintings, wooden printmakings, and mixed medias from the 1960s-1970s, such as the ‘Affection’, the ‘The Cowherd and the Weaver’, and the ‘Ancestral Temple’.

The late artist Dr. Chen Jia-Rhon spent most of his adulthood in the US. His artwork produces a sense of the abstract, complemented by skillful choices of soft colours and white, linear contours. The Chrstian artist-doctor performed his grand visions and passion for life in the art he created. One of the pieces ‘Rites of Springs’, shows the lively spirit of spring.

Contributing greatly to the development of abstract art in Taiwan, the artist YEH Chu-Sheng has shifted his style from the vastly profound towards a more tempered expression. Throughout the process, his unique attributes are presented through his collection of works with strong, energetic characters. For instance, the ‘Come true’ (No.48,49), and the ‘Trial No.18’, with contrasting colours and markings.

The Japanese ‘Cat Artist’ Yukio Takahashi, has been recognized internationally for his delicate portraits of cats. Takahashi has been successively invited to the ‘Le Salon’ exhibition in Paris for a decade. Being a loving cat owner himself, he captures countless moments and figures of cats. The collection presented,‘Cat’s ZZ’ from 2010, he interprets with colour pencil the softness and nimbleness of a cat’s movement.

The female artist LO Tsen has been actively involved in the art industry since the 1980s. She is most acclaimed for ink paintings; her process may be explained as two categories of five stages. ‘A continuous rotation’ analyses her evolving art style across a decade from 2011. Among LO Tsen’s collection, the ‘Autumn Song’ from 2016 with ink and colours on xuan paper, performs an extended, uninterrupted scene formed by delicate, thin lines.

The sculpture and body painting artist LU Haur-Wen, has an extraordinary style of art cultivated through experiencing and observing life and the human body. The works ‘Apache’ and ‘Look Up’ show how he changes sizing, and focuses on simplicity in his art.

The young artist LIN Yu-Wen had decided to concentrate on abstract art since college. With her detail-oriented personality and self experience, the colourful and eye comforting collection ‘Horizon’ was created. Moreover, the ‘Take a Break’ acrylic collection uses clean lines to bring a refreshing vibe to the art sphere.

All dear visitors and collectors are welcome to take part in this art fair. Have a close look at the lines and contours around the subjects that each artist elaborates in their art. During the ongoing and unprecedented global pandemic, ART Taichung manages to continue operating as usual. Many artists and the Apollo Arts Gallery revisit what art means to people and the society, hoping to gather all passionate art lovers and enjoy the bliss that art brings to us together.

Room 1117 at the ART Taichung, we are waiting for you!
