[ 霍剛 x 李光裕 ]
采泥展位：N07

采泥藝術很榮幸於「2019台北藝術博覽會」以雙個展的形式，展出台灣知名藝術家霍剛與李光裕的最新創作。李光裕為台灣當代雕塑的代表藝術家，霍剛則以華人幾何抽象藝術先鋒尤為著名。兩位近年來皆活躍於國內外藝壇，李光裕更於2017年受邀到聖馬利諾國家館，於第57屆威尼斯雙年展舉辦「有無之際-李光裕大型個展」，2018年李光裕回到故鄉高雄，於高雄市立美術館舉辦「空間．詩．人：李光裕創作研究展」。霍剛則在2018年受邀於米蘭蒙札皇宮美術館舉辦個人大型回顧展「形色之外」。本次特於台北藝博以雙個展呈現兩位知名藝術家的作品，希冀完整呈現其最新的創作風格與內涵。

本次展出李光裕最新創作「貓系列」，其乃是李光裕將「鏤空造形」與「片狀結構」的創作表現進行更為完善的實踐，創作手法更貼近「立體主義(Cubism)」的表現形式：將物體進行破壞與分解，以解構再建構的方式，消解傳統雕塑的量感。貓的形體被簡化僅剩骨架，以片狀的線條與鏤空造形作為結構，搭配線條轉折、頓挫等表現性形塑貓隻各種型態的動作、表情與姿態，無論是臥姿、走路、站姿，李光裕以簡單的線或面表現立體空間的寫意技法來呈現，簡約精準賦予貓隻體態更鮮活的描繪，雕塑空間也在虛實轉化，在線條、空間交替中，賦予造形更多留白的想像，呈現李光裕更趨成熟、運用自如的造型雕塑實力。

另外，本次亦展出的霍剛新油畫創作。不同於早期作品所持有深沈的神秘色彩與形象，近年來，霍剛的作品色彩表現更趨明快，善用對比來營造和諧且統一的視感。他多以簡單線條與幾何符號形塑畫面的豐富構成，或是動態回旋，或是透視景深，在平面視覺上開創立體空間的多重表現。創作手法也較早期作品更為自在揮灑，用色奔放自由，造形紛呈輕快，畫面構圖更趨簡約純粹，緊湊中更見靈活。在華人幾何抽象藝術的發展史上，霍剛可謂先驅代表，並始終堅持幾何抽象藝術的開創，透過線條、幾何與色塊的元素實驗著繪畫本質的種種可能性，真正開創屬於霍剛獨樹一格的東方幾何抽象美學。

采泥藝術很榮幸於本屆台北藝博引薦李光裕與霍剛最新作品，其以臻於成熟、圓融且大器的藝術表現活躍於藝壇，這次展出的新作揉和更深厚精煉的創作功力呈現在觀眾眼前，體現藝術家孜孜矻矻致力於創作的執著與毅力，也以持續不斷的創新引領著華人當代藝術的未來。采泥藝術希冀透過本展的呈現，讓國內外的藝術愛好者得以瞭解台灣在雕塑以及抽象藝術的表現上，卓越精湛的創作實力，透過台北藝博的平台再次向國際發聲，作為台灣軟實力的最好證成。

HO Kan x LEE Kuang-Yu

Booth : N07

Chini Gallery is delighted to present a duo exhibition featuring Taiwan’s renowned artists, Ho Kan and Lee Kuang-Yu, at the 2019 Art Taipei. Whereas the former is celebrated for his abstract art in the Asian art scene, the latter is a well-known contemporary sculptor from Taiwan. In recent years, the two artists have been active in Taiwan’s and international art scene. In 2017, Lee was invited to present a solo exhibition, To Have and Have Not, at the San Marino Pavilion in the 57th Venice Biennale. In 2018, Ho Kan also presented a large-scale retrospective, Beyond Shapes and Colors, at the Villa Reale of Monza in Milan, Italy. The duo exhibition at this year’s Art Taipei will comprehensively display the latest creative style and works by these two eminent artists.

This time, Lee will show his latest Cat Series, which is a more comprehensive combination of the artist’s signature “openwork technique” and “sheet-metal structure,” demonstrating a creative form reminiscent of Cubism. By first breaking and taking his subject matter apart before deconstructing and reconstructing its image, the artist eliminates the sense of volume characterizing traditional sculpture. The forms of cats are simplified down to structures outlined and delineated with sheet-metal and openwork. Furthermore, the turning and pausing of the rhythmic contour vividly portrays the movements, expressions and gestures of different cats. Whether lying down, walking or standing up, Lee uses simple the elements of line and plane to create three-dimensionality in a lyrical manner, elegantly and precisely capturing the bearings and postures of the cats while revealing a clever interplay of the real and the void in the sculptural space. Amidst alternating contour and space, the artist adds more imagination to sculptural form, demonstrating his mature skills in mastering the art of sculpture.

The exhibition shows Ho Kan’s oil paintings created in recent years. Different from his earlier works known for a profoundly mysterious color and imagery, Ho’s recent works reveal a brighter and livelier air through his use of contrast that builds a harmonious and unifying visuality. Ho uses simple lines and geometric symbols to enrich the composition, using dynamic spiral and depth created with perspective to unfold multiple three-dimensional spaces in two-dimensional planes. His creative approach also becomes more unrestrained, with a more colorful palette and lighter forms, unveiling a much purer composition while manifesting vibrancy in compact images. In the history of Asian abstract art, Ho is a trailblazer, who has insisted in his innovative approach to abstract expression. Combining geometric shapes and color blocks, he experiments with all the possibilities of the nature of painting, building his unique aesthetics of Eastern geometric abstract. Furthermore, the exhibition also features Ho’s pencil drawings and ink paintings, which are rarely shown in public.

In this year’s Art Taipei, Chini Gallery is pleased to present the latest works by Lee Kuang-Yu and Ho Kan, who have been active and well-received for their mature, well-rounded and magnificent art. The new works exhibited this year materialize the artists’ refined techniques as well as their steadfast endeavors and perseverance in art-making, which have enabled them to continuously shape the future of Asian contemporary art. With this duo exhibition, Chini Gallery hopes to provide a window to art enthusiasts in Taiwan and abroad to understand Taiwan’s sculpture and abstract art as well as our artists’ remarkable artistic genius. Through the platform of Art Taipei, the gallery once again engages the international audience and invites all to witness Taiwan’s soft power.


[ 李光裕 -伏心 ]

公共藝術展位：PA2

李光裕以東方文化的守護神「伏虎尊者」造型為發想，並以書法線條的片狀結構營造動感，透過武士一躍而下的龐然神力，老虎被降服的表情，生動地刻畫武士成功制服猛獸的沛然能量與膽識。此作品命名為「伏心」，意喻爲人心之貪婪比猛虎還兇，必須要有如凌空而降的武士般強大的正念，才能降伏貪嗔痴的心念，故藝術家以「伏虎」之象引喻為「伏心」之意。

LEE Kuang-Yu —Subduing

Public Art Booth：PA2

Drawing inspiration from the image of “the tiger-taming Luohan” in Eastern culture, the artist employs calligraphic line to create a sense of vivid movement with his signature sheet structure, demonstrating the power in the fighter’s action as well as the subdued tiger. Depicting the dramatic and intense scene, the work shows the fighter’s vigorous energy and bravery through his success of overcoming a beast. As much as this work illustrates the fearlessness in facing adversity, it is also a metaphor for conquering one’s limit to transcend the beguiling greed, anger and ignorance in one’s mind. It is the debut of this artwork at Art Taipei.
