寶勝畫廊與2013 台北新藝術博覽會合作預展


 
晶華酒店、台北寶勝畫廊陸續展開 頂尖藝術創作 不容錯過

5月3~6日即將登場的「第三屆台北新藝術博覽會(Art Revolution Taipei 2013;A.R.T. 2013;簡稱2013台北新藝博)」,為了讓愛藝人士先睹為快,主辦單位特於晶華酒店及台北寶勝畫廊舉辦兩場預展,分別為寶勝代理藝術家李善單、瑪馨玲、呂嫦謀聯展及法國當代藝術大師Philippe Pasqua菲力普‧巴斯夸個展,讓國內愛藝者搶先欣賞全球頂尖藝術創作。

今年已屆第三年的台北新藝術博覽會,已成為國內重要藝術大展之一。這場獨特且創新的藝博會:以藝術家為核心、藝術家自身為品牌的策展理 念,獲得包括台灣在內的全球藝術家贊同與迴響,因此第三屆更吸引來自全球42國、237位藝術家參展,其中更包括當今國際藝壇上的頂尖藝術家 Philippe Pasqua菲力普‧巴斯夸來台參展。

名列法國藝術家收入排名第一的菲力普‧巴斯夸,曾獲選為「2011法國最佳藝術家」,為當今國際藝壇上極為出色的藝術家。2013 年初,菲力普‧巴斯夸更與另一頂尖當代藝術家 Damien Hirst達明‧赫斯特盛大展出雙人聯展,其在國際藝壇的份量與地位可見一斑!

法國當代藝術大師Philippe Pasqua 
 Philippe Pasqua菲力普‧巴斯夸

1965年出生的菲力普‧巴斯夸成名甚早,自90年代起即在美國、倫敦、巴黎等地展出,作品並為法國Cartier基金會、莫斯科博物 館、韓國三星美術館收藏。他的雕塑作品常以骷髏為題材,最經典的作品,即是結合蝴蝶的骷髏作品,驚豔紐約收藏家!如此揉合精緻與誇張、冷靜又極戲劇性、讓 美學與寧靜伴隨死亡與暴力威嚇的表現形式,正是巴斯夸的典型創作!此外,巴斯夸擅長以率直的風格描繪人物,畫中主角多半為兒童、同性戀者、重症病患,或是 接受變性手術的弱勢族群,畫面極具衝擊性,並深刻傳達出畫中人物的內在精神。

他以「Aora」為名的油畫系列,便是以一個充滿神秘感的小女孩為主角。而這個系列的作品大多為大畫,以黯淡的粉紅、灰黑和深藍為基 調,流動交織出一幅幅生命之作,同時展現藝術家內心世界的另一面。「Aora」系列去年曾來台,與其他38件創作於台北新藝術博覽會展出。在震懾全場之 餘,Pasqua的所有作品銷售一空!其中巨幅畫作「Aora」被台灣重量級收藏家大手筆購入。

去年應台北新藝術博覽會邀請,首次前來亞洲舉辦個展的法國當紅藝術大師Philippe Pasqua菲力普‧巴斯夸,今年再度受邀來台參加此一藝術盛會,並率先在台北寶勝畫廊舉辦預展,讓全台灣愛藝者先睹為快!

去年與A.R.T.主辦單位合作「百大名人預展」的晶華酒店 Regent Taipei,其B2的麗晶精品,以「打造品味生活平台、發揚精品時尚工藝」為經營理念,去年展出「百大名人預展」得到許多時尚人士及顧客的驚喜與迴響,今年再次與台北新藝術博覽會合作,除了4月將舉行「百大名人預展」外,3月15日起將先推出 2013 A.R.T.畫作預展,此次將展出台北新藝術博覽會的藝術總監李善單教授及Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲女子藝術三人組、呂嫦謀等創作聯展,讓愛藝民眾更多一處欣賞畫作的空間,麗晶精品也期望展現推崇人文奢風華以及生活藝術的精神。


李善單教授此次將展出最新創作《妙得江山》、及《聖蓮花女寶》兩大系列。《妙得江山》是藝術家以「心靈之眼」寫意的風景創作,意境上是 用心靈在看,並不是用寫實在看。透過心靈觀看居處的每一個角度、每一個方向及每一個位置上的美感,再將它們呈現在畫作中,讓觀者體會自在與悠閒的趣味。取 材對象包括五台山、普陀山、峨眉山、西藏、九華山、長城、淡水、西湖、大峽谷、巴黎等聖地名勝。《聖蓮花女寶》則是以人物為主題,運用生動活潑、簡潔有力 的筆觸描繪女子的形貌及神情百態,襯以色彩飽和的背景,和看似隨意的線條,勾勒畫中人的肢體動作,讓觀者體會具象的美感。
李善單 Lee Sun-Don 《聖蓮花女寶》

由張心禹(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,目前台灣藝術界和收藏界已是炙手可熱,每逢舉辦畫展,便有許多藏家親自前來。瑪馨玲的創作,「充分挑戰顏料的流動與自由性」為 最大特色,除了早先的油彩顏料之外,近來更嚐試以不同的顏料進行創作,例如壓克力顏料,隨著一次又一次、一層又一層色彩鋪陳,隨著顏料色彩不可預測的自由 流轉,讓每一幅「合氣一相」系列作品在抽象中展現大自然的律動與壯濶!

呂嫦謀擅長以符號化的意象表現繪畫中的主體,以拼貼的技巧使畫面展現層次感,且不強調景深——抽離了背景之後,每位觀賞者都能代入其 中、彷彿是旁觀者同時也是畫中人、物,也使得畫作對於觀賞者而言是直接表達友善而坦率的態度。她的最新創作《女人香‧朋友》,仍然給人人「女人如花花似 夢」的纯潔與光芒,並運特別運用『鑽石』,在璀璨的光下引出當下時尚感。在畫作中娓娓訴說女人間的真摯友情。

Chinese Talk - Lee Sun Don 李善單 - Wonderful Attainment / Toward Ten Achievements

Wonderful Attainment / Toward Ten Achievements
Year: 2012 Medium: Oil on Canvas  Size: 145x145cm (100F)


How do you define perfection?

In Chinese culture, people use ten, said number 10 to describe 100% or perfect.
Also, in the decimal numeral system, when the number reaches 10, it then becomes or levels up to another "1".

In artist 李善單 Lee  Sun Don's recent work, "Wonderful Attainment / Toward Ten Achievements", we have 9 mountains in the frame, and when we start to count, 1, 2, 3......, 8, and 9, and the last number 10 can just come to you since there is no other path but only you, and then you become the "one" such as it is. 十大一如。

The symbol of 9-mountains in the Lee's world also refers to Mount Jiuhua in AnHui Province where is famous for its rich landscape and ancient temples dedicated to Ksitigarbha (known in Chinese as Dìzàng, Chinese: 地藏, in Japanese as Jizō, source from Wikipedia)

The elements, mountains (read as Shan), boats in the river (read as jiang), and temples or shrimps (read as Miao4) and you, the viewer, all combine together to achieve the perfection!


More numbers in Mandarin language?  Try first, one, 一....................

集合了與會藝術家們的創作工具


   





第三屆A.R.T.台北新藝術博覽會的挑戰,不是報名的藝術家作品要做到寧缺勿濫,而根本已提昇到「精益求精」! 
作品要精,更要能變、能創、能超越以為極限的自己。

「我也不想這樣強迫藝術家們,」總監會議裡只能苦笑:「但是為了每一屆大駕光臨的貴賓不虛此行,我們也只能這樣要求!」

驚喜的事就是有~ 〝預備性〞報名才四十天,台灣區不但額滿,而且溢佔到國際區的展位。



來自法國當代藝術排名第一藝術家Philippe Pasqua 的創作,





了不起啊~各位老師,這些用心十分「蛻變」的作品,全新的展現才華萬千!

萬物以僵化而亡。不斷創新,就是證明自己存在的價值。

在新藝博大會的要求中,我們看到了台灣藝術界的希望──我們的藝術家充滿了天份,只是一直沒有給他們機會證明!

2013年第三屆A.R.T.台北新藝術博覽會,將會以全新的策略謀定──不動聲色,驚世讚歎! 
各位藝術家各位老師,你們的作品說明了「台灣的藝術,足以爭鋒天下!」

2013 A.R.T. Preview‧Philippe Pasqua 2013.3.8~3.31 X-Power Gallery Taipei


Philippe Pasqua (French, b.1965) is a self-taught painter and sculptor with a penchant for capturing the fleeting nature of mortal existence. He was born in Grasse, France. 

His new selection of art works for 2013 Art Revolution Taipei is previewed on 3/8-3/31 at X-Power Gallery,  Taipei




The artist paints nudes and facial portraits, and he also creates sculptures using materials such as human skulls and dried butterflies. All of his works tend to highlight the ugliness behind beauty, the profanity in the midst of reverence, and the eventual helplessness of the powerful. This motivation accounts for his selection of subjects. Disabled individuals, Down's syndrome sufferers, and transsexual candidates prepped for surgery all find their way to Pasqua's canvasses.
(Sourced from here)



Given his frantic brushstroke style and preference for black and blue shades, the artist’s portrait subjects can look as though they have been beaten, though Pasqua leaves the viewers to form their own interpretations. Clementine is one such example of this portrayal. 
Likewise, Pasqua represents animals in a solitary setting, as though abandoned, exemplified by his 2009 oil painting entitled Purdey. Also an accomplished pencil drawer, Pasqua focuses primarily on faces: some disturbed, others depressed, and still others frightened. Laura is a drawing of a mentally handicapped woman who—as the artist's website suggests—Pasqua may have known personally. The artist’s interest in skulls is manifest in his sculpted works. Whether gilding them with gold or tattooing them, Pasqua makes human destiny clear to all who will look upon his skulls.

Although he did not intentionally plan to follow an artistic tradition, Pasqua is said to be firmly planted in Vanitas. This artistic movement, represented by Damien Hirst (British, b.1965), stresses emptiness and the shallow, temporary nature of life's pleasures. Since 1990, Pasqua has exhibited his works all over the world. Beginning with the Maison des arts de Beausset in France, his art has travelled to Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, and Hamburg. In February 2012, Pasqua brought his skulls, comprising his Vanities series, to London's Opera Gallery. 



Source from here

Lucian Freud (British, 1922–2011) once said, "The role of the artist is to disturb the human being." Critical acclaim suggests that Pasqua fills that role adequately. His representatives include Patrick Painter, Inc. of Santa Monica, CA. Pasqua lives in a suburb of Paris. [Originated from here.]

Chinese Talk - 李善單 Lee Sun Don - Wonderful Attainment/Soaring Dragon, Boundless Empire




妙得江山/龍騰天下.大展鴻圖

"Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore.


In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs.
In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang ("Chinese phoenix").

Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods
The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. With this, the Emperor of China usually used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength.

In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to the dragon while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other, disesteemed creatures, such as the worm. A number of Chinese proverbs and idioms feature references to the dragon, for example: "Hoping one's son will become a dragon" (望子成龍, i.e. be as a dragon). "

Andrejus Kovelinas- Artist in 2013 Art Revolution Taipei (台北新藝術博覽會,A.R.T.) 參展藝術家(愛爾蘭)


    2013 Art Revolution Taipei

Nostalgia 鄉愁, oil on canvas, 40x80
(This pic referenced from http://www.artnishe.com/figurative.htm )


Artist Profile:  Andrejus Kovelinas graduated from high art school in Kishinau, Lithuania in 1978. Over the years Andrejus has distinguished himself in art circles across Europe, taking part in several exhibitions in countries such as his native Lithuania, Russia, France and Sweden. 
A master of his craft, he moved to Ireland
with his family in 2003 and his paintings are on on-going display here at The Green Gallery. As well as many other subjects Andrius paints women. 
When it comes to painting women Andrejus takes great joy from this subject and will continue to pursue painting extraordinary works of beautiful women as long as he will be able to paint. He believes women are designed amazingly by our Creator.
Style and techniques as such are not that important to him. When he sets out to begin a painting he is able to vary the technique and style and then go to work on it. 
And although he does not strive to fulfill any particular style, He tries to add his own experiences and knowledge. The finished product is left up to the people to judge and measure. It is good to know that there are people out there who love Andrejus's work. Deep down he knows, that when a person buys his work and hangs it up on their wall, receiving constant light, charged with God's energy and love, both Andrejus and the viewer have mutual satisfaction between them taking place.

Chinese Talk:Wonderful Attainment / The Wonder of Converging Spirituality



Wonderful Attainment / The Wonder of Converging Spirituality
2013/Oil on Canvas/100x50cm


Wind erosion (風化, feng hua4) is a major geomorphological force, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. It is also a major source of land degradation, evaporation, desertification, harmful airborne dust, and crop damage—especially after being increased far above natural rates by human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture.  (Wikipedia)


風 (feng) Wind (How to write, Simplified Chinese), any natural force; in Chinese culture, "風 feng" could mean the trend, scene, information, anything could change the phase of matters in time, and like the insect in the cave. 
化 (hua4) convert. (How to write)
 Sand could be converted from rocks by wind erosion and any other forces.

Enjoy the world of circles (Art works by Sir Charle Chaplin, Carol Bak, and Master Lee Sun Don)


In modern time, Where are You?  

Chaplin's Modern Time

"Modern Times marked the last screen appearance of the Little Tramp - the character which had brought Charles Chaplin world fame, and who still remains the most universally recognised fictional image of a human being in the history of art."



You might be integrated into a life cycle, with or without "Mind".....

Melancholy - 思念

(心, "xin" means "MIND" (in Mandarin), Keeping the MIND now and here brings a chance to see the reality. )

Artist's Profiles

Karol Bak (Poznan, Poland)


Karol Bak (born 1961) is a highly skilled painter 

and graphic artist whose works are widely collected in Europe
& USA. He’s fascinated with the mystery of the circle and 
its relations with the square of the image. He creates
dreamy worlds filled with illusive spaces. 
The artist sets women in different roles: 
inter alia mythological and biblical characters. 
He’s the one who reaches the woman soul through 
the body denuded from props. He’s the follower of the
Beauty which follows mysterious paths of ecstasy.
