全台灣少數以國際化策略經營當代藝術的香華天‧新藝境「寶勝畫廊」，將於2012年底與中正紀念堂攜手合作，推出目前在國際備受肯定的亞洲首團女子藝術三人組──Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲「合氣一相」大展，在12月22 日至31日為期十天的展期中，將展出「藤達」、「水唱」、「金彩藍得」及「水唱‧得意山水」等最新創作系列。
Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲創作三人組是由台灣新銳藝術家張心禹（MANIHOO）、王馨薇（Singway）與鄭如玲（Ling Ling）所組成，除了創作默契十足，作品也備受好評：三人聯手創作的首幅作品即入選「西英國皇家藝術學院第159屆秋季展」，之後更接連榮獲美國「前衛藝術第57屆國際公開藝術展」國際組首獎、入選美國「弗羅里達州第七屆評選展」、入選美國「第十屆年度超現實視覺及精神藝術評選展」，今年11月再獲「英國皇家油畫家協會第125屆年度評選展」入選，再添國際榮耀！此外，Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲的作品在台灣也備受藏家青睞，更令兩大收藏家日盛企業集團總裁陳國和、台灣工業銀行董事長駱錦明為之激賞，成為此兩大集團美術館之館藏。
Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲的創作特色為「充分挑戰油彩的流動與自由性，隨著油彩不可預測的自由流轉，展現大自然的律動與壯濶！」日盛企業集團總裁陳國和盛讚：「三人合力創作竟能有如此高水平，讓我有如同見到張大千潑墨般的驚艷！」
本次展出作品，除了延續Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲一貫震懾人心的氣勢，新創作系列各有不同意涵： 「藤達」系列以生生不息的樹藤象徵著平步青雲、騰躍達成之意； 「水唱」系列的畫中情景，是以古典詩詞為發想概念，並充分詮釋了唐詩或宋詞中對水的生動描述； 「金彩藍得」系列則以悠遠神秘的藍，呈現出山川的各種面貌，加上金色的雲彩，頓時點亮萬種風情！ 「水唱‧得意山水」系列，則融和中國白描與西方油畫的表現手法，另以大面積的金色表現不同的空間層次，既有立體派的神韻，同時又將不同空間表現在同一平面，別具趣味。

Vision / The Home of Prosperity beyond the World
In the movie, there was a scene Andrea keeps wandering on the street, and wearing a hat (by Chanel) . She is thinking whether to take the offer from Miranda, her boss, the chief of fashion Magazine. The invitation from Miranda is Andrea would be her assistant for the fashion week in Paris, while this will break the dream of Emily, another assistant, who was the first candidate of this job and she is eager for the trip.
Picture originated from internet. Click here for more information. In the movie, Andrea did not answer directly, but the decision was made before destiny, or perhaps the hat!?
"French fashion icon Coco Chanel (1883-1971) went from being a struggling hat maker to being one of the fashion world's most recognizable names. Over the years, Chanel's simple, comfortable designs began to change the way 20th-century women dressed, freeing them of the stiff, uncomfortable trends of the past. Today, the empire that Coco built produces some of the most successful and coveted fashion items, headed by designer Karl Lagerfeld." (data source)
"Qui qu'a vu coco?" (WhohasseenCoco?)
I have a very similar style of hat which bought from the Aran islands, Galway, during my stay in Ireland 2004-2005.
The hat was of wool material and handmade. At first beginning, it was a gift for my father; while he rejected to accept the gift for thinking the style is for old men.
He is right, and also wrong about this point, since the men of the Aran islands, Ireland (different from the Scottish isle of Arran) really keep their culture traditional as original since the beginning.
Quote from Youtube: Fergal O'Murchú, accordianist and singer of Ragús, a group of musicians
and dancers from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland
performing traditional Irish music, sings "Green Grow the Rushes" in
this wonderful piano version. The word ragús is an Irish Gaelic word for
'desire' or 'urge'.
亞洲百年來第一位以「個人油畫館」參展威尼斯雙年展的藝術家李善單教授，以及亞洲首團女子藝術三人組Ma Sing
Ling瑪馨玲──同步入選「英國皇家油畫畫家協會第125屆年度評選」（125th Annual Exhibition, The Royal
Institute of Oil Painters）， 再添國際榮耀。
位於倫敦、成立於1882年的「英國皇家油畫畫家協會」，在1909年由英國國王愛德華七世賜封「皇家」榮銜，足以顯示其在油畫藝
術領域的重要地位。
此一擁有130年歷史的組織，年度競賽開放給全球藝術家參賽，表現傑出者可被票選為準會員，五年內視其表現及藝術成就，可由現任會員提名，並經由票選而成為正式會員。但「英國皇家油畫畫家協會」正式會員人數始終限制在65人左右，可見評選標準之嚴格。
Joe come to me at the coffee shop of X-Power Gallery Taipei last Sunday. She just come back from Prague several days ago. She is a tour guide, and the last trip hit her fifth guidance for Taiwan tourists in Czech and the areas nearby. During the simple and quick conversation by the table and free refilled herbal tea, the name of city, Prague was mentioned maybe just 2 or 3 times, and it made its way that afternoon.
I recalled one artwork "King" (by art group Ma Sing Ling
this summer (2012)) and Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal's famous book "I served the King of the England"(我曾伺候過英國國王). Prague is the scenery set of this book.
"Hrabal's two best-known novels are Closely Observed Trains (Ostře sledované vlaky) (1965) and I Served the King of England (Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále), both of which were made into movies by the Czech director, Jiří Menzel (1966 and 2006, respectively).
Menzel's adaptation of Closely Observed Trains won an Oscar in 1967." (Wiki data)
Ma Sing Ling is a collaborative
working team comprised of three young promising artists in Taiwan:
MANIHOO, Singway and Ling Ling. These young artists have developed
quite tacit understanding with one another, X-Power Gallery thus brings
them together to spark new light. Their first attempt to create as a
trio is “Form of Unity,” a series featuring the beauty of
grandeur, magnificence, and incredible coherence. One of their
creations in this series has been selected into the 159th Autumn
Exhibition organized by Royal West of England Academy, United Kingdom
(2011). More information, please check the Ma Sing Ling Website or X-Power Gallery.
Joe come to me at the X-Power Gallery that afternoon, and I remembered the essence from the book "I Served the King of England" is nothing but "Joy".
Hrabal noted the joy comes from the death, by the story of the Czech attendant, who was inspired by English King or other dignitaries (even Ethiopia King) and engraved to seek for fame and fortune all his life, and finally got peace and joy upon his death, alone.
While Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲, this collaborative art group of 3 artists from Taiwan, expressed the idea of joy and peach come from genuine King from our innate, by the painting "King" and their method of creation, "Form of Unity".

Profile of Artist Liu Baojun (Origin: http://www.xpower-gallery.com)
Born in 1963
in Dandong, the Liaoning Province of China, Liu Baojun, who has been an
artist for 38 years now, began teaching himself about painting at the
age of 7. He came to Shanghai in 2003 where he launched his unique
artistic style. Since then, Liu has been reputed as one of the most
representative painters in China. His unmatched and exquisite style,
made clear in the Pipe-smoking Women series, has made his work the most
sought-after in the art market.
Liu is masterful when it comes to
meticulous details with his proficient skill and exquisite touch. Both
in turn compliment his perfect control over the manipulation of colors
and shadows. The artist's aesthetic in his painting is full of rich
textures. He depicts the beauty of tranquility through the figures in
his paintings, either sitting in front of desks or reclining in chairs,
revealing relaxed or lazy expressions. Every work is refined from deep
life experiences through a rich and vivid painting language. Roaming in
between realism and modernism, the artist demonstrates his gift in style
manipulation. Even though Liu possesses a profound understanding in the
style of traditional and modern art expressions, the very core is the
content itself. From a traditional prospective, his works reveal a
gentle and warm aesthetic appeal. While being mingled with the tradition
of the modern arts, his works not only brim with passions and
vitalities, but also a classic mellowness.
