造園記：周成樑繪畫個展

從早年描繪都市風景的敘事者，到如今筆耕山林的造園者，台灣當代畫家周成樑在十五年來的里山生活中，逐步轉化出與自然共處的創作脈絡。本次展出的一系列風景作品，將呈現其日常所見的花果林木與四時山色。他以筆墨在山野之間，與自我和傳統文人畫精神對話，更在現實與記憶之間，鬆軟地構築如島嶼般層層浮現、如寶塔般疊加生長的山林，鋪展出詩意而沉靜的畫境。

周成樑擅長捕捉那些盤旋腦海、難以言說的內在景象，將其轉化為油彩與彩墨的深層描繪。畫面常以柔和色調、層層薄塗與朦朧筆法構築，營造出夢幻與現實交織的空間感。他更以哲學的化約主義為創作核心，從自然景觀的繁複形貌中，提取出純粹且有力的視覺元素，透過大色塊與簡潔構圖保留本質，使觀者在流動的視線節奏中，如同親自揭開迷離薄霧、步入林間，聽見微風與蟲鳴，感知一種既安寧又充滿希望的生命律動。

其筆下的山居，並非傳統文人畫中遺世獨立的孤高場景，也不執著於批判都市的絕對對立，而是一種能與日常共存、彼此遙望的生活提案。透過這場從繁複走向純粹的視覺之旅，周成樑將引領觀者回望日常，思考人與自然如何平衡共存，並重新體會對環境的敬意與共好的哲學。無論身處山上或山下，皆能在這些層疊的風景裡，找尋心靈安放的位置，持續思索我們與土地之間的連結。


Garden Reverie：Chou Cheng-Liang Solo Exhibition

From an early narrator of urban landscapes to a tender cultivator of mountain gardens realms, Taiwanese contemporary artist Chou Cheng-Liang has, over fifteen years immersed in satoyama life, gently woven a creative dialogue with nature. This exhibition’s landscape series reveals the intimate flora, fruits, and seasonal hues that grace his daily gaze. With brush and ink, he converses with both himself and the enduring spirit of classical literati painting, softly conjuring forests that rise like islands adrift in memory, like pagodas quietly layered and growing—unfolding a realm at once poetic and serene.

Chou masterfully captures those elusive inner visions that hover beyond words, transforming them into profound depths of oil and colored ink. His canvases breathe with tender hues, translucent layers, and misty strokes that blur the line between dream and waking. Rooted in a philosophy of reductionism, he distills nature’s complexity into pure, potent elements. Bold fields of color and simple compositions hold essence intact, inviting viewers on a flowing visual journey—to part the veiling mists, step softly into the woods, and sense the breeze and the hum of insects: a tranquil rhythm where hope glimmers softly beneath the stillness.

Chou’s vision of mountain living is not the lofty seclusion of traditional literati painting, nor a rigid stance in opposition to the city. Instead, it offers a way of life that coexists with the everyday—distant, yet in quiet dialogue. Through this quiet journey from complexity to clarity, Chou Cheng-Liang invites viewers to look anew at everyday life—to reflect on how we might live in balance with nature, and to rekindle a way of being grounded in reverence and shared flourishing. Whether one dwells upon the mountain or below, these layered landscapes offer a resting place for the soul—a space to reflect, again and again, on our enduring connection to the land.

Chou Cheng-Liang

Born in Taipei in 1969, Chou Cheng-Liang received his BFA from the Department of Fine Arts at Taipei National University of the Arts in 1994, and earned his MFA from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts in 2003. His early works often depicted urban landscapes, but a move to the mountainous region of Miaoli marked a profound turning point in his artistic journey. Through oil and ink, he merges the classical aesthetics of Chinese hanging-scroll landscapes with personal memory, transforming scenes where nature and the city converge into a poetic visual language—inviting viewers into a dreamlike, introspective realm.
Chou has received numerous accolades, including the Jury Prize in Drawing at the 11th Taiwan International Biennial of Print and Drawing Exhibition, and the Kuandu Centennial Creation Award from Taipei National University of the Arts, among many others. His works have been exhibited internationally, in countries such as the United States, Korea, and China, and are held in the collections of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of History, and various private institutions—affirming his significant presence and influence in the contemporary art scene.
