▍關於本展 ▍
「畫圖就是拎著一條線去散步」- 保羅．克利
日動畫廊創立於 1928 年，為日本首間專注引進西洋繪畫藝術的畫廊。在資訊、交通相對不發達的年代，日動畫廊以其作為先鋒者的使命，持續帶給日本觀眾嶄新的視覺刺激與藝術體驗。今年適逢畫廊成立第 90 周年紀念，台北日動畫廊開春首展特別企劃展覽「線性漫遊」，透過多位歐美當代藝術家的圖畫（drawing）與平面作品，呈現藝術家創作生涯中核心私密的部分，也看見不同時代圖畫媒材與技法如何轉變，進而成為當代重要的藝術表現形式。
展覽名稱「線性漫遊」取自藝術家保羅．克利（Paul Klee）之言：「畫圖就是拎著一條線去散步」（“Drawing is taking a line for a walk.” ）。圖畫通常被視為由各種線條組合而成的作品，因此描繪線條的過程遂成為圖畫最被強調的部分。藝術家透過敏銳深刻的洞察，以宛如寫日記的方式，將日常生活中不可見的細微變化與感受，用各式線條一一描繪捕捉。職是之故，圖畫雖然常給人習作或嘗試的印象，但或許我們也可以視圖畫為從一而終、毫無修飾，最能完整真實反映藝術家內心所見所想的創作。
正如同克利對圖畫深入的分析與研究，使得單純的線條、形狀與顏色，在他筆下都能被賦予豐富的表情與深層的情緒，此次展覽精選的藝術家，無不也是在他們所處的時代環境，藉由線條的來回漫遊，作為其思考與實驗的重要起點：他們或用嶄新的媒材描繪外在世界的線條輪廓，或用紙上圖畫記錄他們內心最直接的感受。對這些藝術家來說，線條不只是為了「構築」一幅圖像，繪製線條的方法與動作本身，便揭示了藝術家對創作的思考與意志；圖畫並不只是通往一個成品的階段性產物，它本身即是創造關係的媒介，讓創作者與觀者之間能夠更直接地與其產生對話與連結。
透過藝術家或具代表性的平面創作，或如私密日記般的紙上作品，誠摯邀請觀者和我們一同循著創作者的線，探詢他們的靈感源頭，以及其所通往的藝術綠洲。

▍About the Exhibition ▍
“Drawing is taking a line for a walk.” - Paul Klee
Founded in 1928, galerie nichido is the first gallery in Japan to specialize in Western-style oil painting. In earlier times when transportation and information was still underdeveloped, galerie nichido played a crucial role in providing the Japanese audience with brand-new visual excitement and artistic experience. Celebrating its 90th anniversary since its foundation, galerie nichido Taipei presents “Take a Line for a Walk” as its first exhibition of the year. With works from international European and American artists, we wish to show not only the intimate and critical aspects of these artists’creative concept, but also how drawing has changed over time as a powerful means of expression.
The expression “Take a Line for a Walk” comes from Paul Klee`s words “Drawing is taking a line for a walk.”. Generally referred to as line-works, drawings are a means of expression that put emphasize mainly in the act of “drawing lines”. Sensitive and insightful, the artists catch in a glance those invisible aspects that characterize our everyday life and record them through their action using these lines as a dairy. While it can be wrongly interpreted as mere practice or exercise within the creation process, drawing could actually represent the finished art product, from scratch to its very end, of the idea/picture envisioned by the artist.
Just as Klee`s in depth research allow his works to be multifaceted and charged with emotions by the simplest lines, shapes, and colors, the artists on view also experiment on paper as a critical starting point to shape their unique concept. Some of them experiment with new materials and techniques to depict the silhouette of the world, while others record directly their inner thoughts on paper. For the artists, drawing lines is not just for the sake of “building” a picture: the action itself already shows the motivation and will. Drawing is not just a temporary stage to the final work; it is itself an actual medium that composes intimate relationships connecting the creator and the viewers in a more direct way.
By presenting representative creations as well as diary like paper works, we would like to invite viewers to take a walk through the lines of these artists and discover not only the starting point of their creation, but also the oasis that they lead us to our present day.
