“齐物”一词源自道家，语出庄子《齐物论》内篇，为道家哲学的核心原则，如文中所言“物无非彼，物无非是。自彼则不见，自知则知之”，认为真实是由矛盾观点建构而成，主张世事正面与否端视观者而定。相对真实概念亦常见于各种艺术讨论，例如形与物、虚与实、东与西的对比，均属二元关系。杭春晖新作“珍珠”、“被形式遮蔽的信息”、“无界”、“透明色”中，创造矛盾观看方式，藉由形与物的模糊界线，探究物质与空间的相互关系。

杭春晖曾接受西方抽象与东方水墨训练，2005年以降的早期作品深受巴洛克风格影响，擅用宗教象征与光影描绘，多年来以“错视画法”见长；自2013年后，他不再追求纯粹具象的艺术表现，转而探究再现与抽象之间的视觉二元，例如在“被形式遮蔽的信息”之中，质疑视觉能力是否可信，乍看之下，作品貌似逼真书籍，近看却发现只是几何图形。“无界”解析形式的局限，拒绝以画框做为限缩艺术想像的边界，当画框成为描绘主题，解构后的范围创造主客之间模糊关系。“透明色”中刻意将揭露的现成物与其超真实的画作并置，以视觉对比呼应虚实二元。

Intertextuality
- Hang Chunhui Solo Exhibition
Asia Art Center is pleased to announce the opening of “Intertextuality - Hang Chunhui Solo Exhibition” at Asia Art Center Taipei II on December 8th, 2018. Curated by Dr. Sophie McIntyre, the exhibition features twenty recent works of Hang Chunhui. The opening reception and art talk, “Ways of Seeing” between the curator Dr. Sophie McIntyre, artists Hang Chunhui and Yao Jui-Chung, will be held at 4 p.m. on December 8th, 2018; the exhibition will be on view until January 27th, 2019.
The curator Dr. Sophie McIntyre received her Ph.D. from Australian National University in 2013. She teaches in the Faculty of Creative Industries at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and she is also an independent art curator. The artist, Hang Chunhui, received his Ph.D. from Chinese National Academy of Arts in 2011, and he lives and works in Beijing. Though Hang and McIntyre have different cultural and educational backgrounds, the artist’s creative pursuits and the curator’s academic research coincide as they both question our preconceived definitions and perceptions of Chinese art, and the relationship between tradition and contemporaneity. This exhibition brings together these two voices and highlights artistic expressions of Chinese culture and philosophy in the context of contemporary art.

The exhibition title “Intertexuality” originates in Taoism, and specifically in the philosopher Chuang Tzu’s text in the Inner chapters, “The sorting which evens things out” (as translated by the Welsh Sinologist A.C. Graham). Widely regarded as the core principle underpinning Taoist philosophy, the chapter examines truth to be a construct of contradicting perspectives, as paraphrased from the writing, “everything may be either positive or negative, decided by the beholder.” Intriguingly, this concept of relative truth has recurred in different artistic discussions, such as comparisons between: form and material, reality and illusion, East and West. Nevertheless, these contrasts can all be summarily understood as the relationship of duality. In Hang’s new series: “Pearl”, “Message Obscured by Form”, “Boundless” and “Transparent Color”, he creates a paradoxical way of seeing that blurs the boundary between materials and form to explore the interrelation between matter and space.

Trained in Western abstract painting and Eastern ink-and-wash technique, Hang’s early ink-and-brush compositions from 2005 were heavily influenced by Baroque-style art as shown in his use of: religious symbolism, depiction of light, and most importantly the practice of “trompe l’oeil”, a technique he continues to practice. Since 2013, the artist has abandoned pure representation in his painting, and has re-directed his attention to exploring visual dualities between representation and abstraction. Works such as “Message Obscured by Form” question the credibility of our visual faculty, as the works may look like a hyper-realistic representation of books, but on closer inspection they reveal themselves to be simple geometric forms. Probing into the limitation of formality, the works of “Boundless” reject the painting frame as a visual illusion that restrains our imagination of art within its boundary. Hence, when the frame becomes the depicted subject in painting, the deconstructed boundary provokes an ambiguous relationship between subject and object. Then, by the deliberate exposure of actual readymade material in juxtaposition with its hyper-realistic painted representation, the works of “Transparent Color” create a visual contrast that echoes with the duality of reality and illusion.
