A Small Point of View
by Taipei Fine Arts Museum
Location: Gallery 3C, Taipei Fine Arts Museum
Date: 10 Mar - 6 May 2012

This is an exhibition with three artists showing works based on the theme of “points”, and the objective is for their art to remind the audience to focus on delicate artistic touches. Chuang Chia-Sheng’s work is inspired by the energy and depth discovered in folk arts. Having grown up in Pingtung of Southern Taiwan, the local annual religious event of the Eastern Harbor King’s Boat Burning Ceremony is something that has influenced Chuang profoundly. He has taken the vibrant colors seen in the ceremony into every detailed points used in his paintings, and the vivacity of the colors bring a sense of movement to the canvas, whereby an opulent cultural richness is compiled. Ke Wei-Kuo’s urban landscape ink-brush works are filled with minuscular dots and points of various shades and sizes. These points convey dimensionality in his ink-brush pieces, and through the diverse layers of ink, segmented landscapes are transformed into dots, layers, and different time periods, climates, and emotions are expressed on paper. Wang Wu is an artist that creates with the rare method of water mark woodcut printing. Replacing the paint brush with a chisel, each carved points are able to create dots and lines that are earthy and captivating and quite different from brush works. Although Wang also makes works based on popular classic subjects, such as pine trees, landscapes, and barren trees, however, the artistic spirit embodied in his art emits a unique contemporary sense. This exhibition intends to start with a small point of view and proceeds to venture on a quest for enlightenment in the purest state.
