地點:意識畫廊 YESART AIR GALLERY
台北市中山北路七段48號2樓




睽違兩年後在台灣的這次個展，此次展出作品17件作品，是2014-2015的新作「覓」，此次的作品探討著內在二元的對立，恆久和無常，黑暗與光明。
如她的創作自述所說：「我現在才瞭解，不論是在藝術或科學裡，我對知識的追求都來自於一種靈魂深處的渴望，不停不歇地尋覓著真理和意義。在科學裡，我探尋着外在物質世界的真理，而藝術讓我探觸到內在抽象的精神。」
 
 
This exhibition will show 17 new art pieces from“seek” series. The body of work is about negotiating the dualities within: the visceral against the ephemeral, the dark versus light.
As her statement said, “I understand now that my pursuits for knowledge, previously in the sciences and now in the arts, have both been driven by the same sense of yearning: a seeking for truth, for meaning. In the sciences it has been a searching for truth within the external physical world; and in the arts, within the metaphysical and the inner spiritual self.”





「她的繪畫沒有批判，沒有故事，沒有現實的景物，只呈現一種視野，來自寂靜之心的靈性之野…」 ~ 鄭芳和 / 資深藝評家 ~

王筱雯(1979 – ，台北) 七歲移民澳洲，獲得物理、機械工程雙學位，2002年至礦業公司工作，然而這條理工之路卻對她產生極大的心理衝突，因此以半工半讀的方式研習藝術，2008年再取得ECU大學視覺藝術學位，並獲得澳洲國家視覺藝術獎、澳洲年輕畫家藝術獎的肯定，近期作品夢〈十七〉入圍了澳洲最被藝術家和觀眾期待的獎項薩勒曼獎，將在7/18到9/27在澳洲雪梨新南威爾士州美術館展出。其作品為澳洲的大學、國家醫院、大飯店，以及中國天津大飯店和數個國家的私人收藏。
從小受西方的教育，同時受父母家庭的影響，致力於內在精神的探尋，科學的教育讓她得以理性的意識探索內在的世界，條理的梳理作品，色彩與肌理層次豐富，在她內化的世界中也是有序的層層演進，狀似無意識的的進行過程，事實是意識在無意識之上的理性發展。

如她的創作自述所說：「我現在才瞭解，不論是在藝術或科學裡，我對知識的追求都來自於一種靈魂深處的渴望，不停不歇地尋覓著真理和意義。在科學裡，我探尋着外在物質世界的真理，而藝術讓我探觸到內在抽象的精神。」
此次展出作品17件作品，是2014-2015的新作「覓」，此次的作品探討著內在二元的對立，恆久和無常，黑暗與光明。
 

“There is no judgment, no story, noting reality in her painting, it is all about a sight from the silent aura... ”—Fang-ho Tseng, senior art critic.

Annie Hsiao-Wen Wang(1979-, Taipei) immigrated to Australia at seven. After studied double degree in and Engineering, she worked at mining company but felt something wrong on the way of science, thus starting her art pursuit. Getting visual arts degree at Edith Cowan University in 2008, Annie has received “National Association of Visual Arts Ignition Prize of Australia” and “Young Artists with Artitude Award of Australia” and other awards, recently her work “Somniun XVII” is the finalist of Sulman Prize. Her work has been collected by university, hospital and hotel in Australia, and private collection in many countries.

Besides, eastern cultural based in family education influenced her to meditate on inner spiritual. These experiences make her seeking oneself rationally, and turn into colourful gradient in her painting as a reflection. Her cultivated essence let the sub-consciousness while creating is actually a kind of rationality.

As her statement said, “I understand now that my pursuits for knowledge, previously in the sciences and now in the arts, have both been driven by the same sense of yearning: a seeking for truth, for meaning. In the sciences it has been a searching for truth within the external physical world; and in the arts, within the metaphysical and the inner spiritual self.”

This exhibition will show 17 new art pieces from“seek” series. The body of work is about negotiating the dualities within: the visceral against the ephemeral, the dark versus light.
