The struggle to perfection – the paintings by Lo Chan Peng
Pan An-Yi, Director of Graduate Stdies, The department of the History of Art & Visual Studies, Cornell University
Historic Figures provide concrete clarification to A Brief History of Time and showcase the artist’s perspective and philosophical approaches to the history of humanity. The historical personae he has selected narrate the progress from “godliness” to the “Theory of Evolution” followed by “Anthropocentrism” and “Eurocentrism” before the expansion of Imperialism and Capitalism which then led to Colonialism and eventually the rise of “Socialism”. The “Nazism” of World War II in Europe and “Japanese Imperialism” caused the unprecedented disaster. Skrik from the Portraiture collection shows Lo’s concerns over the working class whom reiterated their mindless tasks in order to survive: “I think I now have a better understanding of this world and have realised how helpless I am in this vast universe.”
Lo tactfully chooses to paint former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American president Abraham Lincoln as a contrast and comparison. Churchill fought against the invasion of Nazism, even though he succeeded with the help of allies, the rise of Neo-Nazism and extreme right-wing supporters in recent years are slowly gaining advocates in Europe. The current president of the United States Donald Trump sees himself as a pioneer like Lincoln, yet his deep-rooted racism has encouraged the believers of extreme right-wing philosophy and white supremacy. Despite his defeat in the recent presidential election, the issues regarding extreme right-wing supporters in Europe and America would remain a challenging one. Both Churchill and Lincoln reflect on the bight and the good of humanity, and they are praised for their reminding us of the dark side of humanity.
Through Portraiture, Lo explores the struggles men encounter on their path to the godliness. The female sitter and plants stand for the friction between temptation and the sacred, which then lead to the nuanced relationship between “consciousness” and “the ability to define good and evil”, meaning the connection between the “mortal” and the “saintly” .

時尚設計大師溫慶珠訪談羅展鵬第1/4篇
在幽暗曠野上尋光的孩子
文字/鍾瑩貞 CHUNG Yin Chen
引言:
像是拋棄世俗皮囊般,他選擇獨自背上行囊,一個人前往未知,緩慢以自我步調行走在曠野之上。路上,偶爾會有小狗陪伴,但常常僅是無聲,一股像是穿越時空的沉默,足以讓人挖掘、掏空、反芻、打破、再生,一次又一次,重覆再重覆,他不厭其煩的想用畫筆尋找自我,尋找內在那個隱藏已久卻閃閃發光的孩子……
內文:
他說:「永遠都要面對未知,像在曠野裡徘徊尋找,才會找到一條路。走著走著,可能發現前行的大師們早已經過,我會發現他們殘餘的篝火,也會依稀看到一點新方向,接著,繼續摸索的走下去……我覺得創作像是如此。」
從最早的草莓族系列作品,陰鬱中充滿光鮮色彩,一絲不苟、比照片更加真實的具象繪畫;到近期卸下大量色彩、拋棄巨幅畫布,轉換為一種更加純粹、沉靜的氛圍,你會以為他變了,但其實他只是選擇了反璞歸真。「我的人生有兩個階段,以前是想超越人類的手,挑戰極限,力求完美且十分巨大;但現在,我是跟空間、氣候、季節、溫度與濕度一起作畫,我想回到『手的溫度』,它有缺點,但缺點就是我,也是人類的魅力。」
一開始畫大眾所謂的「美女」時,就只是畫生活週遭的友人,想藉由她們傳達身分認同、國族認同、貧富差距等問題,也想挖掘屬於台灣印記的文化特徵,因為他認為台灣從根本論述上就避諱談「如何面對自己」。 (待續)

The Child Seeking for Light on the Dim Plains
By CHUNG Yin Chen
Prologue
As if trying to be rid of the mundanity of the world, he chooses to travel solo into the unknown with a rucksack on his back, paving his way through the plains at his own pace. The occasional company of a puppy on the journey is often silent, a silence that pierces through time and space, encouraging one to investigate, empty, reiterate, break away and reborn over and over again, as he tirelessly seeks for the hidden yet radiant child within himself through his paint brushes.
Content
He says: “One is always faced with the unknow, as if searching for a trail on a wild plain. The past masters may have already made the same journey, and I may find new directions from the ashes left from their campfires and continue to explore the path…I sense that making art is just like this.”
From the hyperrealistic figurative paintings of the early “Strawberry Generation” series which consist of bright colours with contrasting dark atmosphere to Lo’s recent abandonment of large-scale canvases and vivid colours in favour of unalloyed and tranquil compositions, one may wonder if he had changed. But as a matter of fact, he had not altered at all, he had simply chosen to go back to the purest beginning of his art. “There have been two different stages in my life. I had wanted to challenge the human capacity in pursue of perfection and grandeur, but now I work with the space, weather, season, temperature and humidity around me, for I want to deliver the “warmth of my hands” despite their flaws. The flaws are part of me, and they are also the charms of human as a species.”
The paintings of the so-called “beauties” in the public eye were simply portraits of friends within Lo’s social circle. Through the portraits of these females, the artist aimed to explore multiple social issues such as identity, nationality, economic inequality, as well as investigating the cultural significance that is unique to Taiwan as a nation. For he believed the question of “how to inspect oneself” has always been avoided in the Taiwanese society...(to be continued)
dark art paintings 在 Tia-Thuy Nguyen Facebook 的精選貼文
Cùng vẽ phố, nhưng sao kẻ trầm mặc, người tươi vui?
Sự ảnh hưởng nghệ thuật từ các bậc thầy đi trước không phải lúc nào cũng là ảnh hưởng một chiều. Nhìn tác phẩm của Tia Thủy Nguyễn, ít ai thấy được cuộc đối thoại giữa Tia và Bùi Xuân Phái về tình yêu với phố Hà Nội trong tác phẩm.
“Phố Phái” được vẽ theo chủ nghĩa hiện thực (realism), sử dụng bảng màu trung tính hoặc những gam trầm làm chủ đạo, và không thể thiếu chính những đường viền đậm nét đặc trưng. Có lẽ vì vậy mà bầu không khí của phố "Phái" yên ả, bình dị, nên thơ nhưng đâu đó lại phảng phất một chút buồn. Tia cũng yêu phố, nhưng thời đại mình sinh ra thì cái buồn đấy đã không còn ăn sâu vào tâm khảm. Phố của mình tươi rực cờ hoa, mang đậm không khí Pop art tưng bừng mùa lễ hội sau thời kỳ Đổi Mới. Nghệ thuật kỳ diệu bởi mối liên hệ xuyên thời gian này!
“Vẽ không phải là chép, không phải là đo cho đúng, ghi cho đúng, ghi cho chính xác... Nếu chỉ có thế thì mới là đang học vẽ, còn nếu muốn bước lên nữa, tiến tới ngưỡng cửa của nghệ thuật thì còn phải nhiều gian khổ rèn luyện lao động nghệ thuật thật sự... con đường sáng tác không dễ dàng, không có một lối tắt nào nếu anh muốn nhanh chóng để trở nên xuất chúng! Chỉ có một con đường rất là dài, rất là vất vả và cũng dễ thất bại, đau khổ.” – trích từ những ghi chép trong nhật ký của hoạ sĩ Bùi Xuân Phái.

The same scenery, yet one looks so solemn while the other joyful?
It’s not a matter of a day or two for an artist to absorb the influence of their seniors. Looking at Tia Thuy Nguyen’s artworks, not many people could see a dialogue between her and painter Bui Xuan Phai with regard to their love for Hanoi’s streets in their artistic practice.
“Pho Phai” (“Phai’s streets”) are realist paintings dominated by a palette of neutral or dark colours, along with his signature black borders. Perhaps that makes the atmosphere of Phai’s street appear so peaceful, idyllic and poetic with a glimpse of sadness. I love those streets too, but at the time I was born that sadness didn’t have such an impact on me. My streets were filled with vibrant flags and flowers during festive season after Doi Moi, which are very similar to the subject matters of Pop Art. Such a magical time-resisting connection is only made possible in art.
“To paint is not to copy, it’s not about correct measurement, right and accurate writing…Doing so, you are learning to paint, if one wants to move further, to the threshold of art, one needs to train tirelessly and work hard…art making is not easy, there is no shortcut if one wants to be extraordinary! There is only one path which is very long, very challenging with failures and pains ahead.” – excerpt from painter Bui Xuan Phai’s diaries.

dark art paintings 在 Nazurah Asaraf Youtube 的精選貼文

*The reason why the video is pretty 'dark' is because the lights in the room itself were too bright and I had set the camera to 'dark mode thing' to focus on the paper. I'll figure out the lighting problem in the next video. BEST IN 720p.
I am well aware that the last time I painted was a solid 9 months ago. So I am very very very rusty. The only way for me to reignite my inspiration to paint lies in Agnes Cecile's works. So here's another video in reference to her painting.
