Did you catch Fong Chung-Ray’s piece in Chamber 4 of 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘯: 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘴 at Chantal Miller Gallery?
Even though the exhibition has just come to a close, the spirit of modern Chinese art lives on—through a new addition to our indoor art collection.
𝐅𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠-𝐑𝐚𝐲, 2022-5-20 (2022)
A contemporary of Hung Hsien and fellow member of Taiwan‘s influential Fifth Moon Group, Fong Chung-Ray (b. 1933) is known for his distinctive ”textual abstraction“—a practice that bridges Western acrylics with the expressive traditions of Chinese ink.
In this work, he incorporates a passage from the Vimalakirti Sutra using a reverse-rubbing technique: calligraphic characters are first composed on plastic, then transferred onto canvas to create beautifully crackled textures. The composition blurs the lines between painting, collage, and calligraphy, bringing the experimental energy of the mid-20th century into the present.
Now on view near the Asia Society Store.
當您在逛麥禮賢夫人藝術館裏舉辦的《洪嫻:乾坤之間》時,在第四展廳裏有看到馮鍾睿的作品嗎?
雖然展覽剛結束,但透過我們室內藝術收藏的新成員,中國現代藝術的精神得以延續。
馮鍾睿,《2022-5-20》(2022)
馮鍾睿(生於 1933 年)是洪嫻的同代人,也是台灣頗具影響力的「五月畫會」成員,他以其獨特的「文字抽象」而聞名。這種創作方式,將西方丙烯顏料與中國水墨的表達傳統聯繫起來。
在這件作品中,他運用反向拓印技法,將《維摩經》中的一段文字融入其中:先在塑膠上書寫書法文字,再將其轉印到畫布上,從而營造出精美的龜裂紋理。這件作品模糊了繪畫、拼貼和書法之間的界限,將20世紀中期的實驗精神帶入當代。
現於亞洲協會商店附近展出。
