關於展演:


當西方藝術家碰上東方經典將撞擊出什麼樣的火花?1969年次的法籍藝術家季勇(Guillaume Hébert)畢業於卡昂高等美術學院(Fine Arts College of Caen),2012年起旅居於台灣,其自青年時期即受到亞洲美學與歷史文化的強烈影響,中國古籍《易經》啟發了他的創作靈感,運用數位藝術的創作型式,不拘泥於媒材限制,挖掘出《易經》的多樣性面貌,自作品中展現了過去和現在之間微妙的平衡,是對東方經典的回溯再現,也為西方數位藝術賦予了詮釋新生。

《易經》推源溯始,體察四時萬物,觀天道以立人道,以抽象簡單的陰陽符號來組成卦象,以符號與文字構成來描述狀態的變易,表現出中國文化的哲學觀與宇宙觀,其中蘊含無限宇宙萬物真理,古人自易經而知天命,了解事物契機從而知所應變進退。而《易經》的「陰與陽」和電腦語言「0與1」的二元法實則有同樣的二重性及連續性,季勇透過個人視覺經驗,將古老的知識與無窮的智慧重新加以詮釋,如其所言:「《易經》是由能量所組成的曼陀羅。從單一到多樣性,陰陽互補的結果成為生命的源泉。」

季勇多方嘗試《易經》與不同藝術形式的結合,如數位版畫、影像、音樂等多樣化媒材的創作,從本次展出的十餘幅數位版畫作品中,可發現季勇極為靈活地運用了色彩及圖像:從三原色到對比、互補色的使用,為《易經》六十四卦與數字增添了靈魂,依卦象的和諧創建多樣性色調及明暗度,正如同音樂創作中,節奏的節拍標記影響曲調一般;而從圓點、線條、多邊形到立體方塊等,豐富多變的圖形元素形成解構式的變化,呈現出看似精細繁複,實有法則可依循的圖像,細膩紋理的變化更蘊含著獨特的美感。

多年來,紫藤廬一直在東方與西方不斷的對話中,尋求一種新的人文精神,本次為季勇於台灣的首次個展,除象徵著紫藤廬未來將持續作為東西方文化交流平台的起始,更契合呼應季勇創作中所揉合的東西方元素,展現出宇宙萬物無限的可能性,讓觀者透過作品觀照內心與自我對話,深化跨文化的藝術脈絡及內涵,開幕茶會謹訂於10月5日下午2:00,歡迎蒞臨賞析傳統元素與數位藝術結合所帶來的驚喜!


GUPAJUHE RETROSPECTIVE ─ A Pictorial Vision of the Book of Changes

What happens when Western artistic sensibilities encounter a Chinese classical text? What can arise from this cultural fusion? An oeuvre that is at once contemporary and traditional, simultaneously harkening to the past and beckoning to the present. Guillaume Hébert’s artistic interpretation of the Yi Jing offers us a view of the possibilities latent in this cultural synthesis: a symbiosis of tradition and modernity.

The text of Yi Jing seeks to explain the origins of all things and the causes behind their transformation by investigating the link between the living world and the nature. The yin and yang, Yi Jing’s vehicle of divination and representative of Chinese philosophical sensibilities and worldview, focuses on the transformation of things, for one’s state of being is never static: it is a mutable condition. The ancient Chinese frequently consulted the Yi Jing to divine the will of the heavens and based their responses to various situations on the results of each divination.

Guillaume Hébert’s (Fine Arts College of Caen; currently resides in Taipei) artistic treatment of the Yi Jing transposes the duality and continuity of the yin and yang into its digital equivalent: 0 and 1. The pictorial representations of the Yi Jing in Hébert’s oeuvres follow the binary logic of computer programming: each of the sixty-four permutations arises from a manipulation of the binary code. Hébert’s investigation of the theme of transformation leads him to represent the Yi Jing in various artistic genres and media: digital lithographs, music, and sculpture. These oeuvres are further enlivened by Hébert’s play with contrasts (light and dark) and color (primary/secondary colors, complementary/contrasting colors), which echoes the duality and continuity of the Yi Jing. And like a composer who varies the rhythm of his compositions, Hébert manipulates various lines and shapes – in both two dimensions and three dimensions – to express the aesthetic beauty and philosophical richness of the Yi Jing.

Over the years, Wistaria Teahouse has been a point of dialogue between the East and West, constantly searching for a new spirit of humanism. In this vein, Guillaume Hébert’s first exhibition in Taiwan not only signifies Wistaria’s continuing dedication to facilitating intercultural dialogue, but more importantly, demonstrates the limitless possibilities of an East-West synthesis in the artistic realm. We hope that through this dialogue between cultures, this dialogue between the oeuvre and the viewer will enable the audience to engage in both cultural exploration and personal introspection.

We welcome you to join us at the exhibition opening at 14:00 on October 5th, and encourage you to discover what a synthesis of traditional text and digital art can offer to each individual. During the exhibition period, Guillaume Hebert, the artist, will be present every Wednesday at 16:00 and every Saturday at 14:00 to discuss his insights into the Yi Jing with the audience. Feel free to drop by and have a word with Guillaume!
