狗對於藝術家黃柏仁究竟有多重要？此次《黃柏仁「狗札記」藝術展》由紅野畫廊和新光三越共同策劃，旨在鋪陳十餘年來黃柏仁對「狗」這項主題的執著與專注，以及見證這些反映藝術家心境或社會觀察的迷人創作成果。

同樣是以「狗」為主的創作脈絡，黃柏仁的雕塑卻豐富多變，每個時期皆展現出不同的風格和內涵。展覽以全面且多元的方式，呈現如2005年問世的「狗札記」系列經典作品《地盤》，2015年甫發展的全新「i Dog」系列創作《小犬》，以及首度曝光的大型戶外雕塑《不爽》。每件作品意欲述說的故事皆不相同，卻都娓娓道出了黃柏仁長久以來對藝術與人性的深刻體驗，進而在觀者面前發揮不言自明的情感與渲染力。

How important are dogs to artist Poren Huang? In cooperation with SHIN KONG MITSUKOSHI, “The Dog’s Notes” 2018 exhibition not only aims to show the artist’s obsession and concentration on the theme of “dog”, but also the fascinating works that reflect the artist’s mind and his observation of the society.
