時間不曾為我們停留，無論是沿途走過的風景、聽過的聲音，卷卷記憶軟片被時間沖淡，最終腦海捕捉的，是美若落花的剎那，化為絢麗永恆...

Time does not stop for us. The scenes we’ve passed, sounds we’ve heard, are like films that fade with time. What remains in our memories are moments of beauty that resemble falling flowers, embedded in eternity…

時近秋分，大雋藝術榮幸地推出日本藝術家白田誉主也（Hakuta Yoshuya）2021個展《Floating flowers 一瞬の永遠》，白田誉主也將為人熟知的動物作為膠彩創作主題，本次發表中可見朵朵飄零舞動的花朵環繞在動物周圍，被花所遮蔽的身體，宛如植物被昆蟲啃食的缺口，有著曖昧的存在關係，盛情生命與綺麗幻象交織出不平凡景致，並運用日本和紙、落水紙等多層敷黏，蘊造出形意獨具的迷人作品。象徵自由與希望的花，在盛開的同時，動物們也打開封閉的視野，享受著稍縱即逝的自由，藝術家欲捕捉那一瞬光彩，呈現昇華至永續的存在，盼觀者沉湎在絕妙化境之際，體悟寧靜與和諧。

As we enter the season of Autumn, Rich Art is honored to be presenting “Floating Flowers,” the 2021 solo exhibition of Japanese artist Hakuta Yoshuya. Hakuta Yoshuya will be showcasing his works on animals depicted through gouache that are surrounded with flowers in this new series. Parts of the animals’ bodies are covered with flowers, resembling plants nibbled by insects. The plants and insects present an ambiguous relationship while the vibrancy of life and magical imageries intertwine into unique compositions. Washi and Warabi paper are layered to create mesmerizing visual effects, while the flowers represent freedom and hope. When the flowers bloom, the visions of the animals are enlightened, allowing them to enjoy fleeting freedom. The artist captures the fleeting moment of light and color and elevates them into eternity with the hope that viewers will be able to immerse in the magical land and experience tranquility and harmony.

「動物的幸福，到底是什麼…。在被侷限的範圍裡度過自己的一生？有著假象的自由，被支配、被管理地努力生存，是生命該有的現象？到底，牠們所需是什麼，他們所望是什麼，我不斷地思考，總是尋無解答。所以，我希望至少在我的創作裡，可以聆聽到牠們的心聲，可些許接近牠們的理想狀態，滿足動物們的心。」

“What does happiness mean for animals? Spending entire lifetimes within enclosed spaces? Living a life that is dominated and managed by others with nothing but a sense of imaginary freedom? What do they need? What are their hearts’ desires? These are the things I am constantly thinking about but can never find answers to. Therefore, I hope that, at least in my works, I will be able to hear their hearts’ desires, move closer to their ideal states, and fulfill their wishes.”

——白田誉主也 Hakuta Yoshuya

人事變化往往都在瞬息之間。一年多來人類足跡進入暫時性的「休眠期」，自然生態得以把握難得時光，獲得喘息及繁殖的空間，但對於被圈養在人類世界裡的動物們呢？白田誉主也透過獨特觀察視角，來探索其生存場域下鋪展出的種種內心活動，他以凝鍊單純的視覺語言，更多彰顯動物的靈動神采，牠們彷彿擺脫世俗紛擾，隨著靈魂被解放的瞬間，引領觀者共同感受其生命歷程的變化與那幸福時刻。

The changes of this world often happen in a blink of an eye. For over one year, human activities have entered a temporary pause, allowing nature to indulge in this rare period of rest and to breathe and proliferate. But what about animals that are kept in zoos? Through his unique observation, Hakuta Yoshuya explores the inner states of animals in the context of survival. The artist captures the spirit of the animals through minimal visual language and guides viewers in savoring the changes in their lives and moments of happiness; they seem to break free from the constraints of the world, and their souls are set free.
