隨著科技的時代來臨，｢有一種寧靜｣聯展，以現代人在充滿虛擬及現實資訊的生活壓力下，每天必須接觸大量的訊息，不斷的反覆儲存、更新、刪除已成為潛意識運作的一環。透過藝術家葉方、Baptiste Tavernier、湯柏鏗的創作讓觀者在欣賞的同時能拋開一切煩惱與壓力，寧靜的與自我心靈之間對話。

葉方Yeh Fang
葉方在創作裡攪和著虛實共舞的抽象思緒，隱喻的、直觀的、虛幻的、真實的，即同時融入寫實與寫意並陳的結構畫面是「視覺」與「心靈」的凝聚，並尋找對應的平衡點，及隱藏在「物象」背後的一種靈性（心象）的穿透力，雖然從藝術學理及學術性軌跡，能有所依循，誠然這「自我思維」之探索，是藝術創作者重要課題，之於我。

Baptiste Tavernier
Baptiste Tavernier新的系列創作，從混亂和污染的背景中，出現了禪宗花園。耙子將礫石悄悄地梳成線和圈，然後頭腦慢慢清理乾淨。由於有害信息的浪潮不斷襲擊大腦，因此大腦面臨著巨大的污染，從而觸發了計時和神經噬菌體的綜合機制。腐敗正在蔓延。花園仍然脆弱，但隨著大腦探究其簡單而純淨的線條，花園變得越來越堅固。

湯柏鏗 Tong Pak Heng
新現實主義藝術家伊夫•克萊因曾說過「藍色沒有尺度，它超越尺度，但其他顏色不是……所有的顏色都喚起了特定的聯想，而藍色最多象徵海洋和天空，而它們是實際的、可見的和最抽象的。」湯柏鏗新創作以金魚投射人類作為題材，而背景則從以往金箔轉變為單一的藍色，畫面的空間變換與視覺意識，代表真實的也可以是代表虛幻。畫面中金魚並沒有確切的所在地方與時間，對觀者而言，它的可能會產生無數的設想和無盡的答案，形成一個虛幻的空間中的表現。


As people welcome the high-tech era into our society, we have to adapt to the new lifestyle of the modern world: the pressure lied between a virtual world and real information, the mass data we must receive every day, and the repeating process of saving, updating, and deleting. Through the works of the three artists, Yeh Fang, Baptiste Tavernier, and Tong Pak Heng, audiences can release the stress of everyday life and focus on finding their inner peace.


In Yeh Fang's artworks, she mixes abstract ideas about the pas de deux of dreams and realities—be it metaphorical, intuitive, illusory, or real—and incorporate the juxtaposition of realities and concepts into the organization of my paintings. By doing so, “visual perceptions” and the“mind” are brought together, and she is able to find an appropriate balance and a spiritual (psychic) power of penetration hidden behind an“object”. Although this method can be traced back to artistic and academic theories, this exploration into “one's innermost thoughts” remains an important subject to artists, including her.


Baptiste Tavernier's new series from a chaotic and polluted background, a Zen Garden emerges. A rake quietly combs the gravel into lines and circles, and the mind slowly cleans out. Brains face an enormous amount of pollution as tides of noxious information assault them constantly, triggering a combined chronophage and neurophage mechanism. The corruption runs deep. The garden is still fragile but grows stronger as the cerebra probe its simple and pure lines.


Neorealism artist Yves Klein once said, “Blue has no dimensions; it is beyond dimensions, whereas the other colors are not... All colors arouse specific associative ideas... While blue suggests at most the sea and sky, and they, after all, are in actual, visible nature what is most abstract.”
Tong Pak Heng’s new works use goldfish to symbolize human. The background changes from golden leaf to a single blue color and visual awareness replaces the switching of spaces. What we perceive as real could also be a representation of unreal. On his canvas, goldfish do not locate in absolute time or space. To the viewers, the meaning it represents is limitless, thus creates the impression of an illusive space.
