朝代畫廊誠摯地邀請您參觀我們最新展覽《目光深切之裏》,展覽將於2024年8月24日至10月5日舉行,開幕茶會定於8月24日下午4點舉辦。眼睛作為關鍵的感知器官,自古不僅用來描述外表,還被賦予了與心靈、神韻和性情等方面的密切聯繫。如《天工開物》中提到「目授而心識之」,便說明了從感官接收信息到內心理解的過程。《目光深切之裏》邀請到七位不同領域的藝術家,通過攝影、錄像、裝置、繪畫等多種媒介,圍繞「眼球」、「注視」與「視線」這些關鍵詞,深入探索其在藝術表現中的更豐富意義。
Dynasty Gallery cordially invites you to visit our latest exhibition, "Within the Intense Gaze," which will be held from August 24 to October 5, 2024. The opening reception will take place on August 24 at 16:00. As a crucial sensory organ, the eyes have historically been used not only to describe external appearance but also to connect deeply with the mind, spirit, and temperament. For instance, in Tiangong Kaiwu, it is mentioned that "the eyes receive, and the mind comprehends," illustrating the process of transforming sensory input into inner understanding. Within the Intense Gaze invites seven artists from different fields to explore the richer meanings of "eyeball," "gaze," and "sightline" in artistic expression through various media such as photography, video, installation, and painting.
#眼球
汪正翔以攝影作為媒介,探究觀念藝術之後攝影與藝術的關聯。在《眼底攝影》系列中,他將自身因眼疾而拍攝的眼底攝影醫學照片,經AI擴增成一種「類藝術」的樣子,渲染成無法解讀的畫面,而這些照片自身同時也抹除了藝術與醫學性。詹婷雯的錄像裝置作品《視力1.2》取自她眼睛不適去急診室治療的過程,她還原這次的個人經驗並塑造成可觀看的形式。當我們在使用望遠鏡窺探時,似乎也在盯著那個驗光機裡你我都熟悉又陌生的紅色熱氣球。
#Eyeball
Sean WANG uses photography as a medium to explore the relationship between photography and art after conceptual art. In the series "Fundus Photography," he takes medical photos of his own eye condition and uses AI to enhance them into an "art-like" form, rendering them into unreadable images. These photos simultaneously erase the boundaries between art and medical science. CHAN Ting-Wen's video installation "Vision 1.2" documents her experience of seeking emergency treatment for an eye condition, turning this personal experience into a watchable form. When we use a telescope to spy, it seems we are also staring at the familiar yet strange red hot air balloon inside the optometry machine.

#注視
張哲榕以場景攝影為創作主軸,近期也在探索不同的創作可能。在患上雙極性疾患(bipolar disorder)期間,他開始用中英文夾雜的方式創作饒舌歌曲,並且在社群媒體上分享他所能記錄的所有生活逸事,雖然引來大量無情網友的批評和憐憫,他仍製作了《我的爸爸想換照》將此事件直接展現,邀請觀眾一探究竟。胡婕榆的《樂觀成癮》是一段無聲的表演紀錄,她認為人類的表情在群體社會要求下皆被修飾過,雖然我們能從表演者的標準笑容中感受到其滿足社會標準的期待,然而持續性的微笑卻喪失了應有的機能,只徒留形式。
#Gaze
Sim CHANG focuses on scene photography as his main creative direction and has recently been exploring different creative possibilities. During his battle with bipolar disorder, he began creating rap songs mixing Mandarin and English and shared all his recorded life stories on social media. Despite attracting relentless criticism and pity from numerous online users, he still created "My Dad Wants to Change His Driver’s License," directly showcasing this incident and inviting the audience to take a closer look. HU Jie-Yu's "Optimism Addict" is a silent performance recording. She believes that human expressions are modified under societal demands. Although we can sense the societal expectations from the performer's standard smile, the continuous smile loses its intended function, leaving only the form.

#視線
許仁蕙的《玻璃》系列是她對於玻璃後方世界的想像,描繪出透過濾鏡般所見的自然或人文景觀;《大肚山的黃昏》便是依此述說著她自身望向故鄉海景時的悸動。當望著這些以半立體的線條將畫面分割成的細小幾何方塊時,所感受到的似乎已是我們自身腦海中的投影。戈羽彤的作品常自文學、宗教與非主流電影提取元素,藉此構築尋找與快節奏社會反向的心靈平靜。她的複合媒材作品《沉浸於藍色之中》特別強調人物的眼神,使其成為像是與觀者身處世界的連結點,引導著觀眾進入她所建構的看似平靜卻又有些不安定的空間。奉威旭的油畫系列《千植萬語》認為每個人都有不同聲音,卻常因社會觀感而選擇說或不說。《何處之向》表現出在黑暗中打閃光燈進而捕捉的定格瞬間,人物目光注視漆黑的畫面,茂密繁盛的植物彷彿暗示了人們沉默的心聲。
#Sightline
HSU Jen-Hui's "Glass" series is her imagination of the world behind glass, depicting natural or cultural landscapes as seen through a filter. "Twilight of Dadu Mountain" tells of the emotions she feels when looking towards the seascape of her hometown. When gazing at these images divided into small geometric blocks by semi-3D lines, it seems as though we are looking at projections from our own minds. KO Yu-Tung often draws elements from literature, religion, and non-mainstream films to construct a sense of inner peace that contrasts with the fast-paced society. In her mixed-media work "Immersed in Blue," she particularly emphasizes the eye of the character, making it a connection point to the viewer's world, guiding the audience into the space she has constructed that appears calm yet slightly unsettling. FENG Wei-Xu's oil painting series "Thousands of Words" believes that everyone has a different voice but often chooses to speak or not speak due to invisible mainstream pressures. "Whither" captures the moment with a flash in the dark, with the character's stare directed towards a pitch-black scene, and the dense vegetation suggesting the unspoken thoughts of people.
