“Le temps est vide, l’espace est plain.”(空間是滿的，時間是空的)
旅法生活二十年的陶文岳說，空間往往是被人與事填滿的，不論何時何地，被故事與空白填滿。陶文岳的畫作多層次且多面相的處理微妙的空間關係，畫面內不勝數之層次空間、畫與觀者之間探戈般進退的舞動空間、創作中廣袤無垠的想像空間、觀後撼動縈繞著心靈的空間。

「色彩是場陷阱！」陶文岳說，色相有強弱之分，光影對大腦刺激出幻覺，前後對比營造出主客關係，陶文岳的色彩運用獨特又蓬勃，抽象中蘊含水墨底韻，大色塊的澄淨明亮碰撞出巴黎布爾喬亞式的優雅與高調，色彩明暗先後如交響樂循序鳴放，引領觀者漸進式的走入他步步構築的色域之境，目光隨之產生視覺的流動，是為畫面主體排列出空間關係。

陶文岳老師也是肌理的魔術師，他運用材質的形式已超出了單純的平面繪製，在觀者與作品間製造出超越二維的立體連結，筆觸間甚至故作樸拙的填補過厚的顏料團塊，創造出戲劇性的光影劇烈變化，構成了一座座畫布上的微雕塑，在觀者的凝視與畫布表面產生隨著光影而起舞的躍動空間。

在筆觸與肌理間的淋漓，陶文岳更是創造畫布之上之下都突破常理的玩家，走筆形成色的軌跡，卻在肌理上利用無色的排刷，犁出一道道肌理的路徑，如同一陣風，吹拂著彩韻的臉龐，在肌理、色彩間拉出了距離 ，產生了既空靈卻無法忽略的存在，聯合視覺而激發的觸覺幻感，他跨越了二維，在畫面自身內部創造了一個觸摸不到、卻看得見的遠方的三維深度。

在寫意與寫實間收放自如，陶文岳利用現代化的符碼，在情感滿溢的熱抽象之上，拋開了形象的桎梏，他貫徹直覺的真切，古宋盞中斑斕的釉色，於他的筆觸抓放間，鬆脫成宇宙的野望，他的夢境是本無語天書，但將符號書寫思想轉化，觀者則解碼般的點滴構築出藝術家潛意識之下的日常軌跡，他在虛與實之間創造出跳脫框架的對話暗流，在那，意象與抽象間釋放交融於同一時空。

在物換星移之中，景色依舊，然而「時間未必是空的」，來去的人事物，不曾駐足停留，卻被永恆的記錄在陶文岳的臆想中、澄淨的畫作中、戀舊的夢境中，成就了滿室繽紛的「不限溫度」個展，這是一場關於時光憶往的狂歡宴 ，請接受陶文岳盛情的邀約。


“Le temps est vide, l’espaceest plain.”( The time is empty, the space is full.)
Says Tao Wen-Yueh, who lived and traveled in France more than 20 years. He said the space is always filled with the incident and happening. There are stories and blanks, no matter when and where.
Tao’s paintings process really subtle relationships of space in multiple aspects, perspectives and phases. Plenty of layers in the images, the diverse distance between audience and the painting moving back and forth as tango, the tremendous imaginary space in the creating progress and the affection and emotions brought from the paintings surround the audience’s mind.

“Colors are trap!” says Tao Wen-Yueh, the color has different volume, lights and shadow stimulate the brain create the illusion, the front and back orders stands out the major and the minors. The colors from Tao are unique and vibrant. The Chinese ink painting spirits reveals underneath the abstract paintings, the colors bricks clear and bright, shine out the Paris bourgeoisie style, gracefully and strong tones. The colors are played each by each as the symphony, leads the audiences walk into the hue structures that he built gradually, the vision is rolling with it, it is the space created by the color’s sequence.
Tao is also a brilliant magician playing with the texture, the usage of the material is beyond the painting on flat surface. He established a connection that outruns two-dimension between audience and artwork, between the strokes, he even patched too thick pigments, the dramatic lights effects appeared, constituted countless tiny sculptures on the fabric, it’s the space that dance with the beats and follows the light and shadow in the gaze of audience.

Express vividly throughout the strokes and textures, Tao is a pioneer that breaks the common sense either above or underneath the painting’s interface. His brushes pathbecame the color trace, but the transparent row brushes plows out the textures line by line. Just like the wind, breezing the cheek of the hue, blows out the distance between colors and textures on the surface, creates an ethereal but unignorable existence, unite the sense of sight, triggers the delusion of tactile, he reaches out to the third dimension, which is growing inside the painting, the depth that you can’t touch but still exists in audience’s eyes.

He wanders freely between realistic and abstract, Tao uses the contemporary symbols on the expressional hot abstract, he discarded the shape and loyal descriptions of the scene , follows the truth instinct with all his heart, the sensational glaze on the old Song ceramic, released into the immense universe under his brushes. His dream is an unreadable book, but he encodes the symbols and writes them within the philosophy, so the audience trace back into the unconsciousness and reform the puzzles through the clue from Tao, just as a game of decode. Out of the box , He creates the conversation flow between the real and the void, where the realistic and the abstract dissolved in the same time-space.

During the pass of time, the histories has happened are different but the world are still the same , however, “the time may not be empty”, passengers came and gone, but they are captured by Tao’s painting, in his wonderland, in his splendid paintings and in his nostalgic dreams, accomplished the “Soul to Soul”solo exhibition and the glamorous rooms filled by illuminating colors. This is a carnival about time, about reminiscence, please enjoy it with Tao Wen-Yueh’s fervent invitation.
