陳建榮＆謝牧岐雙個展

CHEN CHIEN-JUNG 陳建榮

Chen Chien-Jung (b. 1972 Taipei, Taiwan) is known for his complex manipulation of architectural forms and fluid treatment of the painting surface. Chen’s explorations of spatial structure can be seen as the byproducts of construction and deconstruction; drawing and erasing. His works create a spatial ambiguity that interweaves imagined or architectural ideals with the unexpected, spontaneous and often imperfect traces of everyday life. Chen repeatedly includes subtle subversions of material, color and object, where physicality, technique and meaning accumulate and converge.

陳建榮（b. 1972台灣台北）在許多作品裡所呈現的混雜結構空間與反思繪畫的「平面」處理，可視之為一種經由建置/拆解、繪製/塗銷的行為過程，以及其伴隨之痕跡產物。陳建榮的作品創造了一種空間模糊性，將藝術家的理想建築性空間與日常生活中意想不到的、自發的、往往不完美的痕跡交織在一起，在創作過程中，重覆對於材料、色感、物件小小的顛覆，飽和身體感、技巧性與各種意義的堆疊與集合。

HSIEH MU-CHI 謝牧岐

Hsieh Mu-Chi (b. 1981 Taipei, Taiwan) explores the relationship between the self, history and our collective consciousness through a contemporary gaze. His work often portrays imagery from historical scenes of daily life in Taiwan, or references to notable works by early 20th Century Taiwanese artists, engaging with the ideology and contexts informed by landscape paintings throughout Taiwan’s art history. His approach seeks to create a dialogue by using a contemporary composition and editing techniques to integrate and explore the meaning of painting for himself as an artist, as well as how the concept of painting in the context of Taiwan can be realized. This continuous questioning seeks to preserve the uncertainty within the process of creation, allowing the artist to constantly overturn and reconstruct meaning within his art practice.

謝牧岐（b. 1981台灣台北）近來的創作透過當代的凝視探索自我、歷史與集體意識之間的關係。作品中經常描繪過往台灣生活景象與台灣早期前輩藝術家的作品圖像，透過繪畫去貼近關於台灣美術史中風景畫所形成的意識形態與脈絡，採用當代的影像編排邏輯與繪畫技法反思繪畫是什麼的大哉問，延續至今繪畫之於台灣可以是怎樣的容貌呈現，這樣追尋的過程，藝術家希望能保有創作上不確定性，能夠不斷推翻又重新建構的對象。
