Fanny Brodar的藝術作品融合了1970年代的懷舊情懷和2000年代的活力，巧妙地將童年回憶、當代流行文化元素和對未來的幻想巧妙交織，編織出一幅引人入勝、迷人神秘的作品，激發觀者對童年記憶的回朔。
Fanny Brodar的作品承載了她童年時期經歷的創傷以及成年後內心所抱持的情感。多年來，她深刻體悟到，腦海中留存最深刻的不是電視節目的細節或童年經歷，而是伴隨著幻似真實的記憶碎片所帶來的感受。
以藝術家童年的卡通圖像作起點，Brodar將童年複雜情感和懷舊情懷融合，以拼貼般的手法繪製在畫布中。這些記憶中碎片與觀者產生共鳴，想起童年的點滴。
Fanny Brodar's art is a captivating fusion of the evocative 1970s and the dynamic essence of the 2000s. In her work, she skillfully intertwines fragments of cherished childhood memories, elements of contemporary pop culture, and visionary glimpses into the future, weaving an animated tapestry that intrigues and enchants. Her unique artistic language involves a brilliant interplay of vibrant colors, child-like marks, and whimsical scribbled words, effortlessly drawing viewers into a realm of nostalgia while provoking contemplation about the elusive line between reality and imagination.
At the heart of Fanny's art lies her endearing muppet-like characters, stemming from her personal journey to escape the traumas of her childhood. Each character embodies a kaleidoscope of emotions, mirroring the complexities of children navigating their inner worlds. Deeply inspired by child psychology, Fanny delves into profound themes, thoughtfully exploring the universal inclination of adults to conceal past hardships, cherishing memories that evoke joy and solace as a means of coping and growth.
Fanny Brodar's masterpieces transport spectators to an enchanting and magical world, reminiscent of her childhood bedroom that transformed effortlessly at her whims. Within her canvases, she deftly taps into viewers' reservoirs of nostalgic sentiments, skillfully employing a vibrant palette that seamlessly melds radiant hues with contrasting shadows, enhanced by the presence of enchanting cartoonish characters. This artistic alchemy creates an emotional tension that resonates deeply within her audience, forging an enduring connection with each unique piece.
In conclusion, Fanny Brodar’s extraordinary artistry reflects her profound journey as an illustrator, infused with a mesmerizing blend of influences from playful Japanese art and Rose Wylie's ingenuity. Her captivating muppet-like characters serve as conduits for a myriad of emotions, offering a glimpse into her personal odyssey from a traumatic past. With a profound understanding of the human psyche, Fanny deftly explores the resilience of human memory, artfully navigating the delicate balance between hardships and cherished recollections. Her faux naïf paintings open portals to an imaginative realm, captivating viewers with a delightful and emotional experience while prompting contemplation about the enigmatic realm of imagination and its intertwining with reality.

著名藝術家蔡志松以代表中國參與2001年威尼斯雙年展和獲得巴黎秋季沙龍的泰勒獎而聲名遠播。2014年，他獲得第一屆洛克菲勒傑出中國青年藝術家獎。蔡志松秉持中國美學符號傳統，以獨特的風格巧妙融合歷史、當代議題和靈性。他的雕塑作品將詩意和想像力巧妙結合，靈活運用材料和形式，使寧靜與活力、傳統與現代融為一體。對當代議題的思考和對和平的渴望在「家園」系列的三件代表作品中得以體現，這個系列於2016年啟動，主要探索透過當代藝術形式詮釋東方傳統文化，強調文人精神、人與自然的關係，以及生命的深沉內涵。藉由雕塑，蔡志松打造了一個純淨的土地，呈現他內心世界的烏托邦詩意。
Renowned artist Zhisong Cai gained global acclaim representing China at the 2001 Venice Biennale and winning the Taylor Prize at the Paris Autumn Salon. In 2014, he received the First Rockefeller Outstanding Chinese Young Artist Award. Upholding the Chinese tradition of aesthetic symbols, Cai blends history, contemporary issues, and spirituality in a distinct personal style. His sculptures, embodying poetry and imagination, seamlessly combine tranquility with dynamism and tradition with modernity. The 'Homeland' series, initiated in 2016, interprets Eastern traditional culture through contemporary art, emphasizing literati spirit, human-nature connections, and profound life connotations. Three representative works showcase Cai's contemplative approach to contemporary issues and his yearning for peace, constructing utopian poetry within his sculptural pure land.

在郝云的畫作中，形式具有雙重意義：形狀和生命。 形狀以獨特的抽象形式為主，由輪廓線勾勒出特定輪廓和塊面，稱之為形式。 生命的形像是另一意義，類似生命抽象，起源於雕塑家阿爾普的超現實主義。 郝雲的繪畫是心理情境的抽象構成，不是刻意的形式創造，而是一種無端的心靈記錄。 作品規模較小，直接觸及眼睛和手的範圍。 色彩低沉，呈現灰色和諧，反映心理因素與情緒。 形式平穩、不張揚，可能有緩慢變化，似有具象的暗示。 色彩、形式反映心理空間和生命的存在，形式有生命感。 符號與形式構成關係，符號無生命，形式有生命。 重要的是體塊與邊線的關係，形成生命與束縛的衝突。 抽像不是結構性的開放，而是內斂式的形式。 人的存在是抽象關鍵，郝雲的作品模糊地展現了他的本性、知性和生命態度。
Hao Yun’s paintings use unique abstract forms outlined by contour lines to create specific shapes and surfaces, conveying a dual meaning of shape and life. The works represent abstract compositions of psychological scenarios, with a subdued color palette that reflects psychological factors and emotions. Symbols coexist with forms, with symbols being lifeless and forms possessing life. The relationship between masses and boundaries creates a conflict between life and its constraints. Human existence is the key to abstraction, and Hao Yun's works reveal his nature, intellect, and attitude toward life.

視覺藝術家，目前於台北創作、生活。 2007年於美國舊金山藝術學院畢業後，進入紐約市立大學杭特學院藝術研究所。作品於各大美術館及藝術空間展出，包括雪梨白兔美術館，北京中國美術館、布達佩斯德維格當代美術館、荷蘭CODA美術館、新加坡濱海藝術中心、韓國OCI美術館、台灣美術館及亞洲雙年展等。曾入圍2016香港Sovereign傑出亞洲藝術獎決選、參與蘇格蘭格蘭菲迪藝術家駐村計畫、獲選文化部甄選赴法國西帖國際藝術村。藏家遍及歐美、亞洲各地，包括瑞士烏里 · 希克藏品、埃米爾 · 愛馬仕藏品等。
以塗畫（Drawing）般開放自由的狀態切入藝術創作，藉由日常生活中的各種心理感受與身體感知，與當下所接觸的事物之間遊蕩撞擊，引發一連串尋索「對話」的創作，創造出與萬物般相連的詩意情境。也因此其視覺藝術形式看似多元發展，雖涵蓋空間裝置、紙張雕塑、平面塗畫、攝影、錄像裝置、植栽雕塑等等，實則悠遊其間一以貫之。
Mia Liu is a visual artist who lives and creates in Taipei. After receiving her B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2007, she enrolled in the M.F.A program, Hunter College of the City University of New York. Her works have been exhibited across major art museums and art spaces and collected by many throughout Europe, America, and Asia, including the Uli Sigg Collection (Switzerland) and the Emile Hermès Collection (Taiwan). She probes into art practices via an open, liberal status like drawing. Through the traverse and collision of various psychological and physical experiences in life with the things in contact in the moment, she catalyzes a series of creations in search of “dialogues,” producing poetic scenes where everything is connected. Hence, while it is as if she produces visual art in diverse forms, ranging from spatial installation to paper sculpture, drawing, photography, video installation, botanical sculpture, etc., Liu roams in the midst of and connects them as one.
