7 June 2017, Status/狀態 Visual Dialogues XVIII

Show runs 7 June – 30 June.
Closing Party Wednesday, 28 June, 7pm – 10pm

Status
屬於三個女生的三種心境,三種表達,三種狀態-
「慾望Lust」、「當下Now」、「心理Mental」
分別詮釋創作當下的感觸與收獲,
埋藏在畫作裡是摩斯密碼般細膩的當下狀態,
想請觀者用心去感受畫作,如解讀密碼般,玩味畫作裡的狀態並感受創作者的每一份情緒。

當下-Eva :「在我創作時的每一個當下的體驗和感受,都是非常真實。隨心所欲的表達當下的體驗與情感,在過程中進而得到一種昇華的平靜,靈魂的自在表現。」

慾望-Lizzy:「看著他們從未在我眼前展現的肢體與神情時,我感到情慾流動在每一條感官神經,驅使我更進一步的沈浸在與被畫者的關係裡,有點不可自拔,有點情緒抽離,有點像是理性與感性之間的拉扯,我很享受。」

心理-Amy:「我試圖描繪人類在恐懼害怕時的內心狀態,靜靜的感受自己內心情感流動,甚至身體麻木無法動彈抑或是被困在噩夢裡逃不出來的絕望感,這些種種,常常被忽略卻深深影響我們的內心狀態,且都是真實與珍貴的。」

Status
Belong to these three girls with,
The three different state of mind.
Three expressions.
Three states.
“Lust Status”, “Now Status”, “Mental Status”

Interpreting the feeling and the benefit from creation of art individually, See through the delicate NOW status just like Morse code lay down in the painting.
Artist would love to invite audience to observe the painting through heart, use heart to decode it. To feel and to explore every status of the painting and every emotion of the artists’ mind.

“Now Status”
Artist – Eva Lo

“While I am in creating process, every moment and every experience are feel real to me. During expression the present moment of feeling and emotion through painting process, it elevate me to a serenity and truly freedom of soul.”

“Lust Status”
Artist – Lizzy Chiu

“Watch them unfold their body and the pleasure looks in from of me that never happened before. I can feel the lust were flowing between every sensory nervous. It drive me to immerse with the people relationship in the painting.
A litle bit of hopelessly obsess with that feeling.
A litle bit of melt into the moment without ego.
Just like the tangle of rational and emotional which I’m enjoy with.”

“Mental Status”
Artist – Amy

“My mental status is trying to illustrate the inner state of fear of mankind detailed. Trying to eliminate the anxiety in my mind. Just sit there quietly to feel the emotion flows. Or to feel the desperate of there is no way out, or stuck by the numbness even though trapped in the nightmare…
All of this thing that we are ignore frequently but profoundly impact our inner status, are those most realistic and precious.”

Reflections on Colourful Universe, Visual Dialogues

Red Room was full of colour in February. Christiana Chien and Todd (Hack) Hackwelder opened their Visual Dialogues exhibition Colourful Universe on Feb, 12th, 2017. This was Christiana’s first show.


Christiana’s colourful Pollockesque paintings are strong and powerful, textured and layered. One could feel the raw emotion and passion she puts into her painting as it explodes onto the canvas. An amazing showing of her work for her first show.

Hack’s Plus-man paintings filled the walls, was dancing, listening to Reggae music, the colours of the Jamaican flag could be seen in a painting installation on the floor. With his noodle like body he twisted in all sorts of shapes and on all kinds of surfaces. Pot lids hung from the ceiling, skateboards, clocks and of course, canvas. And what Colourful Universe could be complete without Aliens. We had those too. A new series by Hack made for this show.

Colour filled the Red Room and for a time it was like living on some sort of rainbow planet.

12 February 2017, Visual Dialogues XV Colourful Universe 彩色宇宙

Visual Dialogues XV Colourful Universe 彩色宇宙Sunday February 12 at 4 PM – 6 Pm
https://www.facebook.com/events/256027314810845/

“Colorful Universe” showcases vibrant and mesmerizing visual pieces from Christiana Chien, in her debut art exhibition. Joining her is veteran artist Odd Hackwelder, also known as Hack who has had over 20 art exhibitions. Hack is known for being extremely prolific and for creating diverse series of work with the common bond of strong color and theme.

What brings them together is a mutual passion for creation, adventure, colors, perspectives, and a deep, true love for the universe.

Creation is never just solely a result from the artist’s own mind, but a true choreography and collaboration between the artist’s mind and all the elements under the laws and forces of the universe (light, gravity, velocity, reflection).

We hope that through our work, you’ll be able to see, think, and feel those elements at dance.

「彩色宇宙」展現了Christiana Chien(簡國珍)色彩斑斕絢麗的視覺作品。這也是她的初展。與她一同展出的是已有20場以上展出經驗的老手藝術家Odd Hackwelder(別名Hack)。Hack以旺盛的創造力名聞畫壇;連結其不同系列作品的重要關鍵為其鮮明的色彩和強烈的主題性。

Visual Dialogues XIV

Visual Dialogues XIV
1/8/17 THE RED ROOM COLLECTION

Visual Dialogues XIV

The art on the walls shows the incredible talent and diversity of the artists in Taiwan. Red Room is proud to offer monthly shows that bring artists from different cultures and places to share ideas, art and experience. The opening on the 8th was also an opportunity to discuss the coming year and what else can be done with the Visual Arts at Red Room. A group of about 15 people, artists and audience, came up with some ideas, which we are excited to share with you!

Workshops: Led by artists sharing their technique or talents. Perhaps the work done during the workshop will be displayed in future Visual Dialogue shows.

Themed Art Shows: Holidays are always a great theme, and the suggestion was to feature the food of the holiday at the opening. The Lantern Festival, is a bit of a rush, but how about Easter? Paint eggs, eat chocolate, have an egg hunt on the grounds?

Interactive Art Exhibitions: This spring we will have a Visual Dialogue called ALMOST THERE. Artists will be asked to bring an existing incomplete work of art or create one for the show that will be completed by everyone at the opening. An artist in the group said during the discussion, “This would be so good for me, I have works that I have not finished but this will help me to let them go. It is also a great opportunity for the audience to become part of the creative process.”

Your input is essential to move forward on these plans. Do you have ideas to share? We would love to hear them please the discussion on our VISUAL DIALOGUES Facebook page.
