HSIEH MU-CHI 謝牧岐

謝牧歧近年創作回歸於繪畫本身，以寫生的命題展開創作，除了是希望能以一個更為輕鬆的方式介入，更希望個人的繪畫創作能於在地環境與文化脈絡上有更深刻的銜接。進而以繪畫的方式面對台灣傳統風景畫自身的歷史脈絡。因此對藝術家來說繪畫創作一直是個大哉問，從追問繪畫對謝牧歧來說是什麼，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，是希望能保有創作上不確定性，它是個能讓藝術家不斷推翻又重新建構的對象。

Hsieh Mu-Chi’s art practice reflects his ongoing dialogue between contemporary painting and Taiwan’s art history during the nation-building era of the 20th Century. For Hsieh, bold is an understatement, known for his richly layered, colorful paintings, he adeptly interweaves landscape, figure painting, historical as well as contemporary cultural references in a captivating composition. His latest series delves deeper into the heritage of Taiwan’s abstract painting and how contemporary artists today are reinterpreting this legacy. Hsieh’s 2019 solo exhibition was a finalist of the Taishin Art Award, and he was recipient the 2021 CTBC Painting Prize Merit Award, with his work acquired by the CTBC Foundation for Arts and Culture collection. He was recipient of the 2006 Taipei Arts Award.
