陳建榮
Through the use of highly structured lines and unnatural colors, the artist evokes familiar visual experiences in the viewer, such as the shapes of urban buildings and industrial machinery. The work confidently references urban civilization through a range of visual elements, including sharp lines from architectural drawings, thick and hard lines of steel structures, and bulky shapes of huge cement blocks. These abstract elements effectively convey the intense and bustling atmosphere commonly found in bustling industrial cities. The roughness and overlapping of all energies in the work create a powerful and assertive statement.
作者以十分結構感的線條，及非自然的色彩，喚起觀者熟悉的視覺經驗，如城市建築或工業機具的形態。作品中的城市文明指涉，像是建築圖的銳利線條，或像是鋼架結構的粗硬線條，以及巨大水泥量塊的笨重造型，就算再抽象，也都傳達出工業城市裡的喧囂與粗暴，以及所有能量之間的交織與共鳴。
