Lin & Lin Gallery is pleased to present the curatorial project "From Observation to Perception" launching in September, showcases the creation of four Taiwan contemporary artists, Mia Liu, Hung Hsuan, Fu Ning and Peng Wei. The exhibition delves into how these artworks evoke perceptual experiences and materialize the world through the artists' perspectives, and explore the interplay between seeing and being seen. The featured works in this exhibition used elements of daily life and re-deconstructed them through creative methods. The artists express poetic and philosophical reflections through their practice with materials and paints, leading the viewers to become aware of the unique worlds created by the artists while engaging with the artworks.
Mia Liu (1980-) captures the scenery and elements of daily life through photography and then deconstructs the images using the technique of "Drawing". Her works are based on photography, with a focus on both photographic and paper sculpture creations, exploring how to use the senses to perceive the world while reflecting on the meanings behind contemporary visual images. Whether it is the series "Between," where the artist deliberately designed the shooting space and the placement of objects to create inconsistent spatial perspectives within natural scenery, or the cutting and reassembling of curled photographic paper into strips to transform abstract concepts into visible images, both blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. Just as the insects originally on the photographic paper lose their original shapes and appearances, these works create unique visual images, providing viewers a novel visual experience.
Hung Hsuan (1992-) draws inspiration from observations of daily life, further extracting interesting objects, ready-made items, and traditional symbols from the surrounding environment to create works with playful semantic double meanings. Hung uses materials such as silk, paper, and building materials, and the choices of colors and the arrangement of the compositions cleverly correspond to the forms and formats of traditional calligraphy and painting, exploring the possibilities of traditional materials in a contemporary context. While engaging in a dialogue between images and past traditions, the work guides viewers into a path where traditional culture and life experiences intertwine, allowing them to experience the various imaginations connected by the artist's meticulous observation.
Fu Ning (1995-) also draws on images from daily, mundane contents on social media as primary material for creations. Her work employs image production as a form, using bold and vivid brushstrokes and intense colors to reshape the emotions generated from viewing images, depicting the fragmentation phenomenon that arises in an era of contemporary information overload. Through this, Fu explores how individuals shape themselves in the virtual era nowadays. In the painting, the artist reproduces images that everyone’s life has encountered, and in the moment of the viewer's gaze, similar life experiences shared with the artist emerge.
Peng Wei (1997-) creates work based on his experiences in daily life in Hsinchu, with theme including "landscape views" and "appearances of plants". The depiction of plants swaying in the wind, mountain and forest scenes, or repetitive brush strokes, emphasize the dynamic quality of visual images under the contrast of light. On the other hand, the artist uses materials such as light, and white paper to further enhance the sensory experience of viewing. These subtle, body-perceived traces invert the viewer’s visual experience and guide them to participate in the world seen by the artist.
