張永昇 Chang Yun-Sheng
b. 1972 Taiwan
張永昇的陶藝作品以「天目」技藝為核心,這項工藝源自日本鎌倉時代,當時中國宋代的禪文化大量傳入日本,特別是那些造型優美且釉色獨特的茶碗,被日本人稱為「天目」。張永昇在這項歷史悠久的工藝中展現了其深厚的技藝與對傳統文化的深刻理解。他的作品不僅是技術的展現,更是文化的傳承與創新的結合。在他的手中,每一件作品都蘊含著古老技藝與當代審美的交融。張永昇的創作過程中,他注重每一個細節,從選擇陶土到釉料的配製,再到燒製的每一個環節,都審慎思量。在精細的堆疊中,作品呈現內斂的美感,細膩而深沉,讓人不禁感受到其中蘊含的禪意與哲理。
Chang Yung-Sheng’s ceramic pieces are centered around the Tenmoku technique, a craft that originated during the Kamakura period in Japan and was influenced by the Zen culture of China's Song dynasty. The Japanese referred to the beautifully shaped and uniquely glazed tea bowls from this period as "Tenmoku." Chang's work demonstrates his profound expertise and deep cultural understanding of this ancient craft. His pieces blend tradition with innovation, embodying a harmonious fusion of ancient techniques and contemporary aesthetics. Chang's meticulous attention to detail—from the selection of clay and preparation of glazes to the firing process—results in works that exude a subtle, refined beauty, infused with Zen philosophy and introspection.

奧利弗·庫克 Oliver Cook
b. 1992 the UK
奧利弗·庫克的雕塑作品則注重光的穿透性,通過細緻打磨雪花石膏,呈現出輕盈通透的質感。庫克的靈感來自日常生活中的光影變幻,如落日餘暉或清晨曙光,他將這些瞬間凝結在其作品中,為日常生活增添了詩意與浪漫。庫克的雕塑作品不僅在視覺上吸引人,更在觸覺上給人以溫暖和親近的感受。他的創作是一種對生活美學的詮釋與探索,通過對材料的細膩處理和形態的巧妙設計,庫克將日常生活中物件轉化為充滿詩意的藝術品。他的作品中有一種靜謐的力量,輕盈而不失思考空間,讓觀者在欣賞的過程中,體驗到一種心靈的平靜與安寧。
Oliver Cook's sculptures are characterized by their play with light, achieved through the meticulous polishing of alabaster to reveal a light and translucent quality. Inspired by the everyday interplay of light and shadow, such as the glow of twilight or the first light of dawn, Cook captures these fleeting moments, infusing them with poetry and romance. His sculptures are not only visually striking but also offer a warm, tactile experience. Cook's work explores the aesthetics of everyday life, transforming ordinary objects into poetic art through careful material manipulation and innovative design. His pieces possess a serene, contemplative power, inviting viewers to experience a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

郝云 Hao Yun
b. 1963 China
郝云的抽象繪畫作品充滿了形式與生命的雙重意涵。他的作品通過獨特的線條和形狀構成形式,表達了生命的意象,這一概念源自超現實主義雕塑家阿爾普 (Hans Arp, 1886 - 1966)。郝云的畫作是一種心靈的記錄,呈現出心理情境的抽象構成。飽和度低沉,呈現灰色的和諧,反映出創作者的內心世界與情感變化。郝云的作品通過形式與符號的對比,展現出生命的存在與束縛間的衝突。他的繪畫風格獨具一格,色彩沉穩而富有內涵,每一幅作品都像是一個心靈的窗口,透過這些窗口,我們得以窺見他內心深處的世界。他的作品中蘊含著對生命的深刻理解和對存在的哲學思考,這使得他的畫作不僅具有視覺上的美感,更具備了深層次的思想內涵。
Hao Yun's abstract paintings delve into the dual meanings of form and life. Drawing inspiration from surrealist sculptor Arp (Hans Arp, 1886 - 1966), Hao constructs his works with unique lines and shapes that express the abstract essence of life. His paintings are psychological records, presenting abstract compositions of inner states. Using muted tones and harmonious grays, Hao's works reflect his emotional and inner world. The contrast of forms and symbols in his pieces explores the tension between existence and constraint. His distinctive style, characterized by deep, contemplative colors, serves as a window into the soul, allowing viewers to glimpse his inner thoughts and feelings. Hao's paintings convey a profound understanding of life and a philosophical contemplation of existence, offering both visual beauty and intellectual depth.
