KIKINOMO (張景忠) 個展 「收信快樂 : 心裡的線與彩虹」
10/30(六) 15:00 開幕

「線條是我的盔甲，編織著心裡的線與彩虹。」
藝術家以什麼慾望開啟將畫布填滿的呢?
無非是想將曾經有的經驗與感受，好好記錄下來，

KIKINOMO他只用原子筆，將畫布填滿的方式充滿著儀式性；一條條分際鮮明的彩色線條，與一層層符碼在整個畫面上，不斷與彼此交疊遮蔽。
這個動作像是提筆寫信，反覆塗改；畫面徘徊在揭露與掩蓋的反覆間，像是一封情溢於表，卻始終沒動身寄出的信，最終成了自己的寄託與救贖。

#藝術家介紹
1980年生，從東方專科美術工藝科畢業後，從事室內設計工作及業餘插畫，2016年開始從事專職藝術創作。曾參展台南水岸藝術節及韓國大邱藝術博覽會。KIKINOMO以原子筆為創作媒材，透過一筆一筆的細緻線條，在紙上反覆耕耘，大量堆疊繁複的裝飾性圖騰符碼，錯綜結構成耐人尋味、宛若機關重重的迷宮，圍繞著作品中的事件主角，藉此表達內在對社會環境的關懷及看法。


KIKINOMO Solo Exhibition “ I Hope You Find These Lines Well”
Opening Oct 30th (Sat) 15:00

After the solo exhibition in 2019, KIKINOMO has received a lot of attention, which the artist had not experienced before. This exhibition title “ I hoped you find these lines well” is an inversion which employs the most commonly used mail greeting “I hope this letter finds you well” where the context is reversed and modified to indicate the complex of the artist’s mind and to highlight his devotion into such special choice of medium and technique.

While having much to say, KIKINOMO’s ball-pen drawing reflects not only his desire to express, but also his fear of self-expression. The colored lines layering upon each other to form images and symbols are like unsent love letters that have been rewritten countless times. At the end, they become the artist’s company.

#AboutKIKINOMO
KIKINOMO(b.1980, TW) is a Taiwan-based artist with a former professional background in the architectural design field. Over the years KIKINOMO had confronted with serious compulsive anxiety, which directed him from being a competitive designer in the field pursuing precision and portion to someone who finds a peace of mind by filling up canvas. In his ball pen drawings, sequence of seemingly irrelevant codes and totems resulted from his time-consuming drawing labor with only color ball pens are found everywhere on the canvas.

KIKINOMO’s work covers many important social phenomena and topics, such as global warming, the Umbrella Movements, animal-related stories or LGBTQ equality, as well as his personal life experiences, which expresses the artist’s deep empathy on others and his vision of the world.
