ARTIST BIO
“透過繪畫,我把自己一一拼整回來,表達一則則烙印在心裡的故事。”Ting Wei Huang 就讀美國洛杉磯時尚設計學院主修時尚設計,並在2015年赴義大利佛羅倫斯Polimoda 服裝設計與行銷管理學院進修。Ting Wei的繪畫就像一篇篇的日記,藉由顏色的變化與柔軟的線條來敍說故事
Ting Wei Huang studied at FIDM in Los Angeles, USA, and majored in Fashion Design. In 2015, Ting Wei moved abroad and attended Polimoda Fashion Institute in Florence, Italy, and majored in fashion design. Ting Wei’s paintings are portrayed through the style of journal entries.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Ting Wei Huang作品傾向於傳達自我探討的意義與意象。擅長放大細微的感覺,抽象具體繁雜的內容,擁抱這份觸動,在創作裡享受著,跳舞與歌唱… 從小就愛繪畫的她, 藉由繪畫藝術傳達如何面對自己、了解自己,進而接受自己的過程。透過反覆動作的描繪手筆,不斷產生矛盾與掙扎,勾勒出她內心深處那些想被看見的輪廓。Ting Wei希望她的藝術作品可帶給人們一份喘息和沈澱的空間,靜下來去感受與擁抱生命中的美好。
Ting Wei Huang’s works are based on introspection. From abstract concepts to concrete stories, the content of her paintings consistently brings forth a variety of intricate details. While indulging in dancing and singing, the pure enjoyment lies within each creating process. Ting Wei found her love and passion in painting since a young age. The art of painting and creating provides a leeway for Ting Wei to dive into self-acceptance, self-understanding, and eventually, self-affirmation. Through her paintings she has tried to reflect her different feelings from happiness to struggle, she hopes that her work of art can make people embrace the real beauty of life.

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.”
