中正紀念堂年度壓軸特展

亞洲首團女子藝術三人組「Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲」合氣一相大展

展覽資訊

展覽名稱：Ma Sing Ling 瑪馨玲 「合氣一相」大展
展覽日期：2012/12/22(六)～12/31(一)
展覽地點：中正紀念堂 美齡藝廊
主辦單位：新藝境‧寶勝畫廊

合氣一相／水唱‧紅塵有心淨土在2	合氣一相／藤達．凌風而起
合氣一相／日灑千山彩
合氣一相／水唱‧春江開綠

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。

藝術家創作

「速塑」是余連春近年發展出來的創作手法。以繪畫素寫的概念轉化在雕塑上快速精準的掌握住人體動態下的構造，沒有多餘的來回，轉變成現在連春創作之一。

 「閒情」、「下午茶」、「妙女郎」等作品就是在這種概念下完成。
沒有東西方女性的差異，多了一份俐落現代感及作品的單一獨特性。

速塑除了必須具備有相當的 雕塑技巧外，也要有極高的敏銳度。其中難度是他近幾年一直在自我超越及自我挑戰。

 雕塑作品的精神絕對是來自於內在力與「架構」。「架構」是雕塑重要的基礎，人體的變化會隨著身體的擺動而牽動整體架構，凹凸肌理會呈現出耐人尋味的脈動。 雕塑世界裡，人體是重要的課題。架構揉和著創作氣質而釋放出點到為止的韻味，不急不徐、扎扎實實、誠懇樸實的一步一腳印，沒有譁眾取寵的爆點，卻有著自我 累積出的余連春藝術經驗。

A hat? Perhaps -(Works from Lee Sun Don of X-Power Gallery, Chanel and the Aran Islands)

Vision / Golden Woods • Bound-free Journey

 

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?" (Who has seen Coco?)

 

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.

Ragús - Green Grow The Rushes

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'.

合氣一相／金彩藍得‧獨攬天下

Joy from the King(s) -Bohumil Hrabal & Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲

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瑪馨玲 (Profile Origin)

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".

Train Nostalgia火車老味道 - Artist Lee Sun Don 李善單 - X-Power Gallery

Train Nostalgia

Nostalgia 

by Carson McCullers (1917-1967), 

Look Homeward, Americans

It is a curious emotion, 

this certain homesickness I have in mind. 

With Americans, it is a national trait, 

as native to us as the roller coaster or the jukebox.

It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. 

The emotion is Janusfaced: 

we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar 

and an urge for the foreign and strange. 

As  often as not, we are homesick most for the places

we have never known.

亞洲首個女子藝術創作團體瑪馨玲MaSingLing 美國首展-洛杉磯比佛利美術館(10/14-12/14)

http://news.sina.com 2012年10月10日 05:23 中國日報 （記者楊婷╱洛杉磯報導）[下圖瑪馨玲入圍 美國第10屆年度超現實視覺以及精神藝術評選展 得獎作品 - 合氣一相／金彩藍得‧龍騰虎躍，, 更多資訊請參訪網站 (英文版) www.caladangallery.com

亞洲首個女子藝術創作團體瑪馨玲 Ma Sing Ling 美國首展，將於14日（周日）在洛杉磯比佛利美術館開幕，展覽一直延續到12月14日，歡迎民衆前往欣賞。 　　
由台灣新鋭藝術家張心禹（MANIHOO）、王馨薇（Singway）與鄭如玲（Ling Ling）所組成的Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲創作三人組，雖然成軍時間不長，但她們的雕塑及藝術作品氣勢磅礡，獲重量級收藏家青睞，更是獲得國際藝術獎項不斷，可謂台灣之光！

下圖是瑪馨玲Ma Sing Ling 與收藏家 陳武剛董事長、陳國和總裁、指導老師李善單 (Sun Don Lee) 教授合影 圖片來源取自瑪馨玲臉書粉絲團]
 

　　
該次美國首展將展出三人首度合力創作的「合氣一相」系列作品，這一系列作品還入選「西英國皇家藝術學院第159屆秋季展」，作品分為「合氣一相╱水唱」、「合氣一相╱森呼吸」與「合氣一相╱金彩藍得」三大系列。 　　

這三大系列延續「充分挑戰油彩的流動與自由性」之特色，在黑白油彩之外，以極具層次變化的藍色油彩進行創作，隨着一次又一次、一層又一層色彩鋪陳，隨着油彩不可預測的自由流轉，讓每一幅「合氣一相」系列作品在抽像中展現大自然的律動與壯闊。 　　

張心禹在三位藝術家中年紀最小，她1989年出生，去年畢業於文化大學藝術學院，擅長以涂鴉式與拼貼綜合表現，結合紙鈔與LED燈的絢爛效果，以另一種眼光表現出現代人的赤子之心，她以其個人式的記號、符號創作，結合圖像延伸的視覺效果，表現出年輕世代對於周遭的「心觀察」。
 　　
王馨薇二十歲開始從事創作，也嘗試用各種不同的創作媒材來表達對生命的態度與思考，或只是內心單純美好的感受，她直接以大自然的物體拓印在畫布上，再配合畫龍點睛的藝術創作主題，這種以拓印真實，寫真自然的能量，讓王馨薇的作品擁有獨特的生命氣息。
 　　
鄭如玲喜歡用相片寫日記，她的作品最大特色是用不同的角度看世界，抓住真實世界的美感，使作品的意義被看見，對於事物獨一無二的洞察力和價值觀，是鄭如玲創作的最佳利器。

懂得藝術Savoir Gallerie 2012 十月新展１０／０３～１０／３１ - 黃弘道 - 陽光、人群，莎拉曼加

黃弘道１９９７年於西班牙薩拉曼加藝術大學碩士畢業，由於非常熱愛薩城的人群及生活， 之後又多次利用暑假返回西班牙居住，因此異鄉反而成為鄉愁的對象。 爾後黃老師醉心於薩城人群的描繪，不僅將心中的人群意象呈現出來， 更有一種情感更迭的自在，在心靈上增加了空間感和不同層次的領悟。

在展出中，每一件作品並不是單獨存在的，而是提供了一個空間， 是外在的也是內心的，讓人們能走進去重新思考人群。

展覽日期：１０／０３～１０／３１ 開幕茶會：１０／１３（六）下午３～７點 營業時間：周一至周六11:00~19:00　周日14:00~19:00

• 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.
