Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid: One and One 淡淡

這些作品的靈感得自於藝術家2025年在日本九州駐村期間的經驗。九州是知名的溫泉鄉，有原始森林、溫潤的海風，他也透過繪畫記錄了此地的景緻和慢生活氛圍。即使孤獨是現階段的他想不斷訴說的主題，其作品的氣氛卻有一些暖意，甚至充滿人的溫度。因為他筆下的自然環境是一個很有層次的背景，提供了人物徜徉的自由，也提供人物探索神秘的機會；再者，其用色以暖色調為主，畫出似蒼涼的秋色卻也襯托出孩童的赤子之心。他畫了有溫度的心靈，在天地相伴下獨舞，不熾熱但也不冷清，就這樣淡淡的。

These works were inspired by the artist’s 2025 artist residency in Kyushu, Japan. Known for its hot springs, ancient forests, and sea breezes, Kyushu offered the artist a setting of serene natural beauty and slow living, which he captured thoughtfully in his paintings. Though loneliness is a recurring theme for him at this stage, his works carry a quiet warmth and human tenderness. The layered natural environments serve as expansive, breathing backgrounds that grant his figures the freedom to wander and explore hidden mysteries. Using predominantly warm tones, he paints scenes reminiscent of wistful autumn landscapes, yet these settings beautifully illuminate the pure, innocent spirit of childhood. In his paintings, solitary souls dance gently with heaven and earth — neither fervent nor desolate, but quietly radiant in their own way.

Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid: One and One 淡淡

Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid 是楊德昌的影迷，他似乎將自己投射在《一一》裡的小男主角洋洋的身上。小學生洋洋總是一個人拿著相機、默默觀察身邊的人，他拍了許多人的後腦杓，像是用影像偷偷丈量成人世界的距離與秘密。我們可以將Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid的創作理解為藝術家所詮釋的洋洋的世界，但也許這些畫作更像是藝術家以第一人稱所描述的自身童年心景。Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid 以大面積有層次的色塊繪出遠景：廣袤的草原、遠方的山陵，而描寫近景時，往往是人物，筆法則相對細膩。在Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid的畫作中，大多只有一個男孩，反覆出現，常常作為畫面的視覺中心，男孩僅以背面或側面向著觀賞者，藝術家很少刻劃他的長相和表情，但營造了略為蕭瑟的氣氛，年幼的男孩卻好像承載了很多故事。〈一一〉電影運用長時間鏡頭拍攝，敘事風格和人物的表演大多平淡卻明顯帶著飽滿的感情，用疏離這個命題呈現「人生」如此大的規格之中可能出現的起伏生聚。從這個角度觀之，Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid很大程度用繪畫作為單一、也算是長時間鏡頭，給出類似的印象。

A devoted admirer of Edward Yang, Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid deeply identifies with Yang-Yang, the introverted young boy in Yi Yi. Like Yang-Yang, who wanders alone with his camera, silently observing the adults around him and photographing the backs of their heads—as if secretly measuring the distance and hidden truths of the grown-up world—Mehdi Pour Vahid seems to project himself into this young observer. His paintings can be read as an artistic extension of Yang-Yang’s perspective, yet they feel even more personal: intimate first-person landscapes of his own childhood memories. The artist renders vast distances with broad, layered fields of color—endless grasslands and distant mountains—while rendering the figures with relatively finer and more detailed brushwork. A single boy appears repeatedly in his works, usually seen from behind or in profile, his face rarely revealed. Though the atmosphere carries a quiet melancholy, this young figure seems to hold countless unspoken stories.
Much like Edward Yang’s film, which employs long, understated takes to reveal life’s subtle emotional undercurrents beneath a surface of detachment, the artist uses painting as an extended, contemplative long take, offering a similarly poignant and introspective impression of time, memory, and human connection.

Artemin Gallery 榮幸宣布代理美國藝術家 Yuri Zupancic。

Yuri Zupancic（1980 年生於美國）現居法國巴黎，以直接在微晶片上繪製的微型繪畫著稱。這些作品凝縮了當代科技進步的野心與矛盾——他以探問而非批判的姿態面對技術，將微晶片既作為媒材，也作為隱喻。
Zupancic 在極小的尺度上作畫，有時以單根睫毛為筆，以此對抗消費文化的極大化美學，同時呼應著我們最強大裝置不斷微型化的現實。他著迷於電路板隱秘的形式之美——那些通常被遮蔽於視線之外的結構——在承載私密資料、情感與記憶的晶片上作畫，賦予數位存在一種可感知的視覺形式。

在微型繪畫之外，他也發展出結合繪畫、雕塑、Photoshop 與影像投映的混合媒材作品，持續探索科技如何深刻塑造當代生活。作品曾獲 WIRED、Juxtapoz、《紐約時報》等媒體報導，並曾於舊金山、巴黎、倫敦、東京等地展出。

2026 年，Artemin Gallery 先後於 Pavilion Taipei 藝術博覽會（Grand Courtyard，台北，1 月）及 Art OnO Seoul（首爾，4 月）呈現其作品，正式展開雙方的合作。

Artemin Gallery is delighted to announce our representation of Yuri Zupancic.

Yuri Zupancic (b. 1980, USA) is an American artist living and working in Paris, France. He is best known for miniature paintings made directly on microchips—works that crystallize the ambitions and paradoxes of contemporary technological progress. Approaching technology as a site of inquiry rather than critique, Zupancic treats the microchip as both material and metaphor.
Working at a scale that defies ordinary perception, often painting with a single eyelash, his practice resists the maximalist aesthetics of consumer culture while echoing the relentless miniaturization of our most powerful devices. Driven by a fascination with the esoteric elegance of circuitry—forms typically hidden from view—he paints on the very components that transmit and store private data, emotions, and memories, giving visual form to a felt digital presence.

Blending classical painting techniques with digital processes, his works inhabit a liminal space between the tactile and the virtual. Alongside these micro-scale paintings, Zupancic develops hybrid works combining painting, sculpture, Photoshop, and video mapping, extending his investigation into how accelerating technological evolution shapes contemporary life. His work has been featured in WIRED, Juxtapoz, and the New York Times, and exhibited internationally from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to galleries in Paris, London, and Tokyo.

We are proud to have presented Yuri Zupancic at Pavilion Taipei Art Fair, Grand Courtyard, Taipei (January 2026) and Art OnO Seoul (April 2026).

Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid: One and One 淡淡

Artemin Gallery 榮幸呈現駐巴黎伊朗裔畫家 Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid 個展「One and One 淡淡」，展期自 2026 年 5 月 30 日至 7 月 4 日。本展以 13 件繪畫回溯藝術家的個人小史，同時隱含著他對台灣新浪潮電影——楊德昌 2000 年作品《一一》——的深切致敬。

Nicolas 是楊德昌的影迷，他將自己投射在《一一》裡的洋洋身上。那個拿著相機、默默拍下人們後腦杓的小男孩，像是偷偷丈量著成人世界的距離與秘密。他畫中的男孩也總是如此——以背面或側面示人，臉龐幾乎從未正面顯露。廣袤的草原與遠方的山陵以層疊色塊鋪陳，人物的筆法則相對細膩。如同楊德昌電影裡那些平淡又飽滿的長鏡頭，他的畫布也以同樣的靜默，承載著說不盡的故事。
這份孤獨，也許也呼應著他所深愛的詩人波特萊爾——那個在《惡之華》裡輕聲問道：「今夜，你將說些什麼呢，孤獨的靈魂？」的人。波特萊爾筆下的孤獨不是激烈的悲劇，而是現代城市中淡淡的漂浮感。Nicolas 沒有渡過理想的童年，那種敏感早熟所帶來的距離感，緩緩滲入畫作之中，從未離開。

藝術家為本展特別創作詩作〈寂靜〉，以親筆手書立於展覽入口：葉子沙沙作響 / 在我的腳步下 / 我想起 / 那些最初的時刻。 此次展出的 13 件作品中，有 9 件靈感來自 2025 年於日本九州的駐村經驗——溫泉、原始森林、溫潤的海風，被他以繪畫重新感受，而非紀錄。用色以暖調為主，畫出似蒼涼的秋色，卻也映照出孩童的赤子之心。不熾熱，也不冷清，就這樣淡淡的。

藝術家將親自出席開幕活動，誠摯邀請大家一同前來。

Artemin Gallery is pleased to present One and One, the first solo exhibition in Taiwan by Paris-based Persian painter Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid, on view from May 30 to July 4, 2026. Bringing together 13 paintings, the exhibition traces the artist's personal history — and quietly pays tribute to Edward Yang's 2000 film Yi Yi (一一).

A devoted admirer of Yang's work, Mehdi Pour Vahid identifies with Yang-Yang, the solitary young boy in Yi Yi who wanders with his camera, photographing the backs of people's heads — as if secretly measuring the distance and hidden truths of the adult world. In his paintings, a single boy appears repeatedly, seen from behind or in profile, his face rarely shown. Broad, layered fields of color recede into vast grasslands and distant hills, while the figures in the foreground are rendered with quiet, meticulous care. Like Yang's long, unhurried takes, each canvas holds its breath — full of feeling beneath a still surface.
This loneliness echoes another of the artist's touchstones: Charles Baudelaire, who once asked in Les Fleurs du Mal — "Que diras-tu ce soir, pauvre âme solitaire?" — What will you say tonight, lonely soul? For Baudelaire, loneliness was not dramatic tragedy, but a drifting melancholy native to modern life. Having not experienced an easy childhood, Mehdi Pour Vahid's own sensitive, precocious sense of distance has quietly seeped into everything he paints.

The poem Silence, written by the artist for this exhibition and handwritten at the gallery entrance, threads through all the works: The rustling of leaves / The sound of my footsteps / I remember / The first times. Nine of the 13 works were made during a 2025 residency in Kyushu, Japan — its hot springs, ancient forests, and gentle sea breezes captured not as documentation, but as feeling. The palette is warm; the mood, somewhere between wistful autumn and a child's open gaze. Neither fervent nor cold. Just quietly there.

The artist will be present at the opening reception.
We warmly invite you to join us.

「被竊取的記憶」——畫家 Mirza Cizmic
Mirza Cizmic，1985 年生於波士尼亞 Banja Luka。七歲時戰爭爆發，九歲隨家人離開故土。在那場流離中，他失去了所有的童年影像——沒有生日、沒有家庭聚餐，沒有一張屬於自己的照片。

他的回應，是一個沉默而強悍的創作行動：向陌生人借來家庭相簿，從別人的記憶裡，重建一個本不屬於自己的童年。這個系列，他命名為《Stolen Memories》。

畫面卻出乎意料地喧囂——祖母、孩子、黑貓、牧師與超級英雄共處一室，廚房裡擱著氣體面罩，格紋地毯映著馬內（Manet）的裸女。那種荒誕不是裝飾，而是戰時童年特有的邏輯：平凡與災難，從不分開存在。
現定居赫爾辛基，2019 年取得赫爾辛基藝術大學 MFA。作品獲芬蘭國立基亞斯瑪當代藝術博物館典藏，並曾於台北 Artemin Gallery（2023、2025）、桃園市立美術館、Art Basel 邁阿密、倫敦 Unit 1 Gallery 等地展出。

「繪畫是一個從混亂走向理解的過程。我畫的是我感受到的，而非我所看見的。」 ——Mirza Cizmic

"Stolen Memories" — Painter Mirza Cizmic
Mirza Cizmic was born in 1985 in Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina. He was seven when the war began, nine when his family fled. In that displacement, every image of his childhood was lost — no birthdays, no family dinners, not a single photograph to call his own.

His response was a quiet, defiant act of making: he borrowed strangers' family albums and painted from them, reconstructing a childhood that was never his to keep. He calls the series Stolen Memories.
The paintings are anything but quiet. Grandmothers, children, black cats, priests, and superheroes share the same living room. Gas masks sit beside dinner plates. Manet's nudes appear against patterned carpets. The absurdity is not decorative — it replicates the logic of a childhood under siege, where the ordinary and the catastrophic coexist without explanation.

Now based in Helsinki, Cizmic completed his MFA at Uniarts Helsinki in 2019. His work is held in the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma (Finnish National Gallery) and has been shown at Artemin Gallery Taipei (2023 & 2025), Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts, Robert Fontaine Gallery at Art Basel Miami, and Unit 1 Gallery London.

"Painting is a process that takes me from confusion to understanding. I paint what I feel, not what I see." — Mirza Cizmic
