我們的同盟—張恩慈個展
展期│2020年10月17日~12月05日
開幕│2020年10月17日(sat.)15:00-17:00
張恩慈在這次個展中，發表了小女孩系列、童話公主系列、及以年幼時姐妹合照為構圖的《隱藏的力量》系列。
布料、線材、棉花、羊毛，張恩慈使用的媒材聽起來都軟軟的，格外有溫度；然而細想她縫針起落的戳刺，隱含在這個動作裡的力道與某種穿透的決心，又讓人不禁心頭一震：其實滿「暴力」。這種「暴力」並不張揚，只是一針見血，好比上述的《倖存者》。這種「暴力」還表現在圖像的選擇與處理上，白雪公主、小女孩、花朵、星星、小鹿斑比、泰迪熊等，在張恩慈的作品裡他們儘管貌似溫馴，卻隱隱流露出對既有印象的質疑。是的，張恩慈說她相信童話，但顯然她並不沉溺在童話的美好，反而更想探詢童話與現實之間的距離。
此外，明明是以手工縫繡為主的創作方式，張恩慈的作品尺寸卻有著機器織毯的大規模。偌大的畫面裡各個故事元素這裡、那裡散落，好比橫向卷軸遊戲，情節推進到一定程度，下一個關卡的場景才會逐一開展，沒有事先掌握這回事，只有見招拆招。再加上此次展出的作品裡，藝術家加入一些不同的表現手法，異材質的添加把畫面拉出更多思索的層次。

Our allies—CHNAG En-Tzu Solo Exhibition
Series of little girls, fairy tales princesses, and the Hidden Power based on childhood photographs of her sisters, are all part of this exhibition, “Our allies”.
Fabric, thread, cotton and wool, media used by CHANG En-Tzu all sound very soft, with a sense of warmth. However, if you think about the stitches poking through, the force of this action and the determination to penetrate something making you shudder - the fact that this artist is actually rather violent. Such violence is not ostentatious, just to the point, like the above-mentioned Survivor. Such violence is also expressed in the choices and processing of the images. Snow White, little girls, flowers, stars, Bambi, and Teddy bear, they all look tame in the works of CHANG En-Tzu, but also questioning indistinctly the existing impression. Yes, CHANG says she believes in fairy tales, but clearly she does not indulge in the beautiful pictures presented by fairy tales. Instead, she wants to explore the distance between fairy tale and reality.
Although mainly created with hand-sewn embroidery, the scale of CHANG En-Tzu's artworks is like machine-woven carpets. Elements of various stories scattered here and there across the enormous artwork, like playing games on a horizontal scroll where viewers must wait until the plot develops to a certain extent to see the scene of the next level unveil. There is no seeing the big picture first; you deal with whatever it is as you go along. Moreover, different methods of expression are included in the artworks on exhibition this time. The addition of mixed materials takes the artwork to a level of further contemplation.
