M&P-Muchi & Painting - Hsieh Muchi Solo Exhibition
by AKI Gallery
Location: AKI Gallery
Date: 9 Jan - 1 Feb 2009

Hsieh, Mu-Chi is very good at transforming painted canvas into private conversations. At the start of 2009, Mr Hsieh is going to hold his solo exhibition, M&P, at the Aki Gallery, and this time what he will show us is not painting but "relationships"; the relationship between the creator himself and his paintings, between viewers and the creative process, and between Mr Hsieh and his invitation to everyone to explore his world. Hsieh, Mu-Chi is one of the most talented stars to emerge in the field of art. His unique works have not only won him many prizes in this nation, but the admiration of collectors as far away as Europe. You will not want to miss this fascinating show which runs from January 9th to February 1st.

Hsieh, Mu-Chi is planning to exhibit not only his paintings, but also his first attempt at a video work. Going against the ease of technology, he uses hand painting to produce and reproduce several copies. At first sight, they may look the same but viewers will find and enjoy the slight differences in each one. Escaping the traditional square canvas, the artist uses ellipses -- wooden boards that represent his eyeball. The artist portrays the scenes honestly, providing viewers with a clear understanding of the relationship he intends. The video clips are unexpectedly funny. For instance, like a factory, painting labourers are wearing uniforms and producing paintings under the supervision of painting master, Hsieh, Mu-Chi. The artist means to mock rigid rules of the art school environment.
