My era: influenced by the atmosphere of late 70s’ conceptual art.
My way of expression: substituting the brush with a 1cm by 1cm chop to express color and content.
With the process of continuously stamping,
The canvas and I are brought closer to each other.
Minute after minute, the painting is taking shape with a steady heartbeat, mechanical, and repetitive motion.
The simple colors and shapes almost make the painting monochromatic.
Within the finished work, materials that emphasis natural light sources emerge.
This is an exploration of the depths of the universe.
Not choosing to use techniques of painting to create an “image,” rather, a process of “rubbing, reflecting, and echoing” is continuously repeated to “seal” and “confirm” the message.
Within the messages, a non-image-like cognitive meaning is conveyed.
Non-uniformity still exists.
Each stamp on the canvas has a minute variance.
Maybe, the repeating motion of “stamping” still contains a “consciousness.”
This self-projection of existence manifests in the form of subtle variations in stamping to create patterns in brightness, light to dark and dark to light.
| Art from the Underground: Tsong Pu Solo Exhibition May 22 to August 8, 2010 Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Galleries D, E and F Tsong Pu has been active on the Taiwanese art stage since the early 1980s, becoming one of the island's senior-generation contemporary artists of today. Soon after he was born in Shanghai in 1947, he and his family moved around before ultimately settling in Taiwan. In his early years, Tsong Pu exhibited boundless enthusiasm for the idealistic world of art, especially European and American Abstract Expressionism. Armed with new concepts and different media, Tsong Pu returned from Spain in 1983 to hold his solo exhibition A Meeting of Mind and Materialat the Spring Gallery. His paintings for this exhibition were truly unprecedented, breaking with established rules of traditional painting, including perspective drawing, primacy of technique and fixed compositions. Simply put, Tsong Pu was not satisfied with these entrenched forms, and so, drawing inspiration from his immediate environment, he deployed his creativity and keen visual sensibility on an inexhaustible array of materials to explore new possibilities in painting. In 1984, Tsong Pu was awarded the Taipei Fine Arts Museum sponsored Contemporary Art Trends in the R.O.C Exhibition. This significance of this award cannot be overstated, as it affirmed the excellence of avant-garde art, served as an index of progress for Taiwan's contemporary art world, and demonstrated that Tsong Pu's artistic evolution was closely aligned with that of the museum's. For a 1996 installation entitled You are the Beautiful Flower, Tsong Pu arranged sketches, canvasses painted with grid patterns, aluminum boards and ready-made objects, such as scissors, hammers, shovels, wrenches, stones and levels, on a large wall in the exhibition venue. The rich dialog which ensued positioned his grid patterns between painting and three-dimensional space, and presented his nomadic spirit in a process of seeking enlightenment from the common objects of everyday life. Tsong Pu composes his abstract paintings using rational thinking, yet the work's expressive results are richly poetic and replete with progressive Utopian ideals. With his grids he expands the spiritual space of the exhibition venue, wandering between installation and painting, staying close to the patterns seen all around, and avoiding interference from concrete imagery at all costs. This prompts connections between viewers' abstract thinking and the artwork, and in this way establishes resonance. Since the 1980s, Tsong Pu has been developing his grid pattern painting style in works such as A Meeting of Mind and Material; Name and Warehouse; You Are the Beautiful Flower; Square White; Square Isn't Square, Circle Isn't Round, Time Doesn't Pass; and Thirteen Relativities between Two Squares in the Dark. The depth and breath of change in his work over the years is difficult to quantify, as he has indefatigably kept at his project of expanding the expressive potential of the grid, all the while deriving from it a boundless vitality. This exhibition includes over one hundred of Tsong Pu's works from each of his creative periods over the last thirty years, presenting a comprehensive account of the artist's visual language through sketches, paintings and installations from as early as 1978 to his most recent work. |
莊普在八O年代初崛起於台灣藝壇，至今勤奮創作不懈，堪稱當代藝術資深的藝術家之一。1947年，莊普生於上海，之後很快地他和家人輾轉遷徙至台灣。
莊普青少年時期，對藝術的理想世界充滿無比的熱情，尤其賞識橫掃歐美藝壇的「抽象表現主義」。 1983年，莊普從西班牙學成返台，以創新觀念和媒材變化的作品，
在「春之藝廊」舉行個展名為“心靈與材質邂逅”，繪畫表現著實令人耳目一新，以往傳統繪畫講求遵循既定的法則，一般關注的不外乎是透視遠近、技法自然熟練、或僵化的圖式，
而莊普卻無法滿足既有的繪畫形式，質言之，他的藝術敏感視覺神經，促使其充滿創意的思維，擷取當下生活周遭的靈感，以及取之不盡用之不竭的素材，探索繪畫新形式的可能性。
1984年，莊普獲得北美館舉辦的新展望大展的首獎，在精神上也給予相當程度的鼓舞，由於這個獎項是肯定前衛藝術的優異表現，具有象徵台灣當代藝術的發展指標，
誠然莊普的創作歷程也與北美館同步成長於相同的年代。1996年，莊普的裝置作品〈你就是那美麗的花朵〉，用以多幅印格畫、素描、鋁板、以及各種現成物﹝包括：
剪刀、鐵鎚、鏟子、扳手、石塊、水平儀等﹞裝置於大牆壁上，使得印格畫跨越繪畫與空間場所產生豐富的對話，賦予生活當下感悟過程與精神游移的進形式。
莊普的抽象繪畫具有理性構成的思慮，然而作品的表現手法卻極富詩意，充滿了另類的烏托邦理想情境。莊普以印格繪畫拓延空間場域精神，遊牧於繪畫與空間裝置的進行式，
比較貼近生活中的紋理，強調必須儘量避免具象之干擾，激盪觀者自我經驗的抽象思維與作品之間，如此牽引傳遞感動之迴響。
從八O年代，莊普的〈心靈與材質邂逅〉、〈 名字與倉庫〉、〈你就是那美麗的花朵〉，到近期的〈方開白〉、〈方塊不方 圓圈不圓 時間不逝〉、〈黑色相對十三論〉等作品，
皆以印格表現手法演繹其藝術語言，其間縱深蛻變的歷程自不言而喻，莊普的作品以鍥而不捨的恆常精神拓展方格陣地，進而複數衍生遨遊展敘寬廣無限生機。
本展囊括莊普各個時期百餘件代表作品，包括1978年的素描、繪畫、裝置到最近的作品，跨越三十年，完整呈現其藝術的語言風格。
