簡單生命，生生不息，草木島嶼，自在呼吸。

吳熙吉的最新創作，輪廓線清晰，底蘊潔淨。

5歲就把繪畫當志業的他，歷經巨大振盪的生命起伏，憂鬱與離開，曾伴隨著多年。

事過境遷，一切如同幻影。如今的吳熙吉，對於時時刻刻的外在干擾，他努力達成絕緣，自由的藝術創作更是如此。

因此，許多人發現，吳熙吉作品的展現，半年時間就足夠換來不同的層次與故事，且持續在轉動，如同一個人的境遇或世界變化，幾個月內就可能是天翻地覆的差別。

本次展覽的新作，多了些植栽，而島嶼似乎活潑起來，任由吳熙吉把玩。畫面的線條簡化了，海藍色成了要角，還有大顆圓圓的類似花苞。

檢視現代人，我們是否過於錯綜複雜，自我綑綁，喘氣不停，總在小我裡打轉，煞費周章。外在影響總是無所不在，今日翻躍的障礙，明天還有更難的。

當我們真正放下時，就會逐漸發現，溫暖色彩自然填滿了我們生活，一個人也就超脫與快樂了。


A simple life makes the world go round and enables the island of plants to breathe freely.

WU Hsichi’s latest creations are clear in outline and with a light undertone.

Since the age of 5, WU has aspired to become an artist. He experienced the ups and downs of turbulence in life, with depression and departure accompanying him for many years.

Yet, things have changed, and everything was like a mirage. What WU Hsichi has striven nowadays is to insulate himself from external interference at all times, and it echoes with free artistic creation, which is in desperate need.

As a result, many people may find WU Hsichi takes only half a year to present his ever-changing creations on a different level and through different stories. It is just as one’s situation or the changing world that everything can become dramatically different in just a few months.

In this exhibition, the addition of plants to WU’s new works seems to bring the island to life, and everything is at WU Hsichi’s disposal. The lines in his paintings have been simplified, with aquamarine being the key player accompanied by those large, round flower-like buds.

Looking at the modern world today, are we humans being too complex and self-bound, thus leaving ourselves breathless, low ego-strength and resulting in us taking great pains?
External influences are being felt everywhere that the obstacles we leap over today may be even more difficult tomorrow.

When we really let go of the past, we will gradually come to the realization that the warmth of colors can naturally fill the gap in our lives and be able to detach ourselves from what we are holding onto and feel contented.
