展覽簡介
「絲向正確」原為印刷與製書技法中的專有名詞，指紙張纖維的排列方向。製書時若順著紙張的絲向裝訂，翻頁較為順暢，也能避免紙張因受力而變形。「絲向正確」的發音亦接近「撕向正確」與「思想正確」，在材料與語意之間形成巧妙的雙關，也呼應三位藝術家創作中不約而同展現的詼諧趣味。如同本次展覽，他們在創作中持續尋探偏移、錯位開啟的可能性。 智海以油畫寫生的方式，描繪帶有對折、反覆摺疊痕跡的白報紙。這些已隨著時間流逝逐漸發黃的紙張是他過去製書時留下的材料，也是工作中經常面對的對象，如今在畫布上從內容的載體轉化為被觀看主體。這種「Paper on canvas」的語言遊戲，既是對過往工作痕跡的回望，更將紙張提升至一種肖像畫般的精神高度。 倪和孜的創作以看似抽象的線條，試圖逃離時間與空間的限制，她常從數張小型草稿發展至大尺幅作品，過程中不斷追求「一筆到底、一氣呵成」的身體感與完成度，一旦出錯便將作品銷毀。然而，正是在這個容錯率極低、追求完美的過程中，藝術家逐漸意識到：錯誤本身其實也需要被包含，若一味追求無瑕，反而使創作失去其成立的可能。本次展出的《Imagine a Flaw》正是在這樣的體悟之下誕生。 蔡宗祐畢業於臺灣師範大學美術系創作理論博士班，非水墨背景出身的他，繪畫水墨作品時得以更自然的跳脫傳統水墨體制的框架。本次他以水墨繪製各種置身於水中的人，運用噴漆特性表現水底模糊、流動的狀態，藉由媒材的錯置與轉換，鬆動傳統水墨體制中的既定規範，展現其獨特的風格和幽默感。 。。。。。
About Exhibition
“絲向正確” is a technical term in printing and bookbinding, referring to “Grain Direction”, the direction of paper fibers. When books are bound along the correct direction, pages flip more smoothly and the paper is less likely to warp. Phonetically, 絲向正確 echoes both 撕向正確 (“tear from the right direction,” the English exhibition title) and 思想正確 (“formal correct ”), forming a playful pun that bridges material properties and linguistic meaning. This wordplay also reflects the shared sense of humor found across the artists’ practices. As in this exhibition, their works continually explore the possibilities opened through deviation, displacement, and misalignment. Chihoi’s oil paints from life depicted white newspapers which have been repeatedly fold and marked with creases. These materials—left over from his past project in bookmaking, an object he keeps handling in daily work. On canvas, they shift from being carriers of content to becoming subjects of observation. This linguistic play of “paper on canvas” is both a reflection on traces of past effort and an elevation of paper to a spiritual intensity akin to portraiture. Son Ni’s practice employs abstract lines in an attempt to escape the constraints of time and space. She often develops large-scale works from multiple small sketches, striving for continuity of bodily sensation and completion— “complete one stroke as one respiration.” Under this aim, one mistake leads her to abandon the current work and start again. Yet through this process of minimal tolerance for error and relentless pursuit of perfection, she has come to realize that mistakes themselves must be embraced; the insistence on flawlessness can ultimately undermine the possibility of creation. The work “Imagine a Flaw”, presented in this exhibition, emerged from this realization. Tsai Tsung-Yu obtained a PhD in Art creation and theory (Chinese ink-and-Bruch Painting) from the Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University. As an interloper to this technique, he approaches ink painting with greater freedom from its conventional frameworks. In this exhibition, Tsai depicts figures immersed in water, using spray paint which imitates the ink-wash affect to convey the blurry, fluid forms beneath the surface. Through this unanticipated choice of materials, he loosens the fixed norms of traditional ink painting, revealing a distinctive style marked by both humor and experimentation. |
