《視覺記憶 Vision Memories》
展覽期間：2019/10/17 (四) ~10/21 (一) 台北世貿一館 (G06展位)

此次台北藝博，多納藝術帶來5位亞洲不同世代及風格的藝術家，展現多納藝術當代風尚及品味！多納藝術經紀藝術家-於1977年出生於台灣的盧昉，4歲那年隨家人到美國直到小學三年級才回台。他從小就展現對寫實繪畫的天份及熱情，自國立台灣藝術大學美術系畢業後，即到西班牙薩拉曼卡大學攻讀美術系碩士，並接著在西班牙賽維亞大學研讀繪畫與藝術修復博士班一年。盧昉在2009年回台前先在倫敦的畫廊開了第一次個展展出15件作品，紮實的寫實功力讓展覽結果頗受好評；盧昉今年初同時於台南奇美博物館、台北多納藝術及香港藝術月公開全新系列作品，延續他著名的大鼻子系列及穿越古今的風格，新作品將帶給藏家及藝術熱愛的朋友們耳目一新的視覺體驗。
過去始終帶著疏離、冷漠的觀點來看待世界，傅作新從理性自我探索虛、實空間的交界中走出，迎向光亮充滿慈愛的國度，其內心流潟而出的喜悅在他的創作中表露無遺，以不同舊往的嘗試，將自身象徵性的化為畫面上的各種符碼，侃侃地訴說著生命前所未有的感觸。此次聯合台北多納藝術空間的個展，帶來以「雪國」為主題的系列作品，冷峻的景緻中帶著柔和的元素及氛圍，與大會今年主題「光之再現」巧妙的呼應與對話，勾勒出迷人的雪之國度
台灣藝術家袁慧莉長年發展的山水系列創作，乍看雖然採取了熟悉的水墨形式，事實上她卻一直有意識地去打破傳統中國山水繪畫中慣見的佈局、筆墨與用色，甚至拆解山石的結構，將之磨練成一面折射個人生命起伏與內在情感的鏡子， 映照出時而繽紛多彩，時而幽靜深沉的景象。在她的畫中，山石既是物、也非物， 它的界線是模糊而曖昧的。那混沌卻又充滿生命力的線條與色彩，不但是她個人的最佳寫照，也彷彿延展了生活在這個島嶼上的你我所共同面對的文化處境。勢山水系列中，「勢」指的是結構或是運筆的方式， 帶出比較動態的一種表現。勢山水以布為材質比較強調線條，相較孤山水以宣紙為底的內留白各有不同特色。

日本藝術家佐垣慶多Keita Sagaki於今年西洋情人節初次在台舉辦個展，並受到國內外各大雜誌媒體瘋狂報導。佐垣慶多在創作中同時展現漫畫家與藝術家兩種身分，並且巧妙的揉合隨之而來的對立，例如高與低、東與西及近與遠。他之所以將西方古典大師與日本漫畫結合，源自於他對東、西繪畫根本差異的思考：「西方繪畫與日本藝術包含著許多衝突的概念。西方繪畫提供了深度，而我的漫畫角色卻是平的。即便在許多日本古典繪畫中，透視也不常被使用。」此殊異的空間處理方式，讓西方藝術家對日本藝術驚艷不已。西方藝術與日本文化的匯聚已有百年以上的歷史，佐垣慶多的作品可說是更新了這個議題，將漫畫角色串聯成古典名作一般，模糊了高藝術與低藝術的界線。二者之間的區別，尚需遠看或近看的視角，方能清楚分辨。
印尼藝術家-韋耶諾維 (Wayan NOVI) 則是結合民間藝術和點畫派，透過一系列標記和斑點來解構傳統靜物畫，將圖像轉換成程式般的語彙，在平面的畫布上創造出超越維度的空間層次，並且透過色彩層次的幻化出類似如夢境般柔美的形體。
此次主題「視覺記憶」來自於藏家朋友對於多納藝術負責人Donna Chen的收藏及選品風格所下的註解，喜愛精細工筆及細節的她，像是同時蒐集藝術家的視覺一般，每件作品都帶有強烈的藝術家創作精髓；多納藝術也將帶領這五位藝術家驚豔台北藝博，以亞洲精彩的當代藝術作品，與世界級的藏家們見面。

《Vision Memories─Donna Art & Consulting in Art Taipei 2019》
Oct. 18, 2019 (Fri) ~Oct. 21 (Mon) TWTC Exhibition Hall 1 (Booth G06)

This year Donna Art & Consulting proudly leading 5 major artists from Asia, generations and style across Asia, bringing varieties of contemporary tastes and styles to 2019 Art Taipei. First is the Donna Art long time representing artist, Lu Fang, who also had feature in several places like Chi-Mei Museum, Taipei group show and Asia Contemporary Art in HK in this March. Lu Fang continues his style from Mr. Big Nose and time travel, bringing a new spectrum to his art fans and collectors. Born in 1977 Taiwan, at the age of 4, Lu Fang travelled with his family to live in the U.S. for 7 years before returning to Taiwan. Lu Fang has demonstrated his great talent and dedication in painting since he was little. After receiving the art degree from National Taiwan University of Arts, Lu Fang pursued his master degree in Fine Art at the University of Salamanca in Spain, and spent another year in the doctoral program in Painting and Conservation at the University of Seville, Spain. Lu Fang had his first solo exhibition in Ablemarle Gallery in London in Year 2008, before his return to Taiwan.

Deng Shiru, a famous Chinese calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, said that “See white as black and a wonderful world appears”. The blank space is as important as the theme of the painting for the artist FU Tso-Hsin. As a part of layout and configuration of the artwork, the blank space not only enhances a sense of space but also bring out the theme. The subtle and delicate relation between solids and voids shows characteristic and aesthetics of Asian culture. Fu Tso-Hsin's artwork particularly focuses on the image layout and a sense of rhythm. A plurality of symbols is used to stimulate the audience to imagine and explore in a variety of ways.

The artist, Yuan Hui-Li, draws mountains and stones. There are the remnants of time, the most ancient objects last in the world is timeless and historical. Life is short, if compares to those natural existence, reflecting the different living time of each being. Drawing stones is not just about “drawing” this single action but delivering a concept, that limited life is brief like flash, so we chase the eternality by restrict ages and out shine the past in perpetuity. Art work is also a type of remnant of times. By piling ink, mountains and stones are created in the painting, proving her live passage and breathing rhythm. Mountains and stones are not just what is supposed to look like in nature, they are sort of symbols. She thinks that the painting fulfilled with mountains and stones, is not scenery painting, nor an abstract inner image. It can resemble a space for expressing personal feelings, it also may be an issue she’s searching for, a metaphor of era circumstances.

The Japanese artist Keita SAGAKI features his first solo in Taipei in February 2019, leading insane exposures from media press like CNN, Elle, Taiwan Tatler, Prestige magazine, etc. Keita constantly tries to figure out a way to become both Manga artist and artist in his creations. Further, he cleverly blends some contrast at hands, such as high and low, west and east, near and far (distance of viewing). From his interview, we can understand the conjunction of Western masterpiece and Japanese manga is originated from his reflections on the essential differences between Eastern and Western paintings. “Western paintings and Japanese art contain many conflicting concepts,” Keita SAGAKI explained in an email interview for CNN style. “Western paintings offer depth, while my characters are flat. Even in many classical Japanese paintings, perspective is not applied quite as much.” This is why western artists are often amazed by the so-called Japonisme for the extraordinary style of spaces. The convergence of Western art and Japanese culture has a history over 100 years. Nevertheless, Keita’s work can be said to have turned a new leaf for it. If Ukiyo-e enters the hall of art in the form of profiling ordinary people’s daily life, we could say Keita Sagaki blurs the boundary between high art and low art with his creations that composing manga characters into the masterpiece. The distinction of two (high & low art) can simply tell from the distance of viewing to Keita’s works.

Indonesian artist Wayan NOVI’s works combine folk art and Pointillism through a series of marks and dots to deconstruct traditional still object painting. “Repeating the Story” however, transforms picture into Programmatic context, transcending hyper dimensional level purely on canvas. Thus turn it into soft, dreamlike objects from the layers of colors.

The theme for Art Taipei, Vision Memories, come from the feedback of art society in Taiwan to Donna Chen’s style of art collections. As a fan of detailed works and layers of crafts, Donna seems to collect artists’ retina as well as their artworks, in which give strong essence of artists’ creative and crafty spirit. Therefore, Donna Art and Consulting will bring these four artists and their masterpiece to Art Taipei and the world-class collectors and art lovers.
