現代新古典風華-林葳東方媒材創作個展   

New classical elegance of modern times -           

Ivy Lin's artistic creation of eastern style Solo Exhibition

2009年剛從美術研究所畢業，這是林葳卸下學生身份的第一個展覽，憑藉著對於繪畫的熱忱，在2006年自台灣藝術大學畢業後繼續在台中教育大學美術研究所進修，期間跨校至東海大學研習膠彩畫課程、多次國外旅遊至大陸各省、日本、美國、韓國、東南亞等地，藉由旅行沉澱與豐富創作的泉源。

身為21世紀的年輕輩藝術創作者，作者在經驗多年的中國藝術的筆墨之外，對於人們處於傳統與當代的氛圍裡探討著其中的交織，試圖以融合的方式將東方的媒材加入西方的元素，在試驗中創作新古典的東方氣息。

作者言每每當你有機會駐足於藝術品之前，欣賞者因著創作者的情思巧妙而開始另ㄧ種思維模式，放下自己的成見時，心靈就像鏡子般蹍轉得來的影像，就像面對自然，更真實的遇見自己，而當藝術不再只是模仿自然，它反映了我們的生活，也反映了這樣時代人們的情感，藉由此次的展覽，我們可以在這些畫作中一窺一個年輕藝術創作者的情感與靈魂，透過作者感性的視覺來微觀大地。

本次展覽內容包括東方媒材如 : 膠彩與寫意及工筆技法型式的創作等，以寫生與實驗性創作來呈現現代新古典思維，以花鳥與人物為主軸，揀選近年之創作作品，囊括一路藝術創作之進程，期能在東方的創作媒材中找到獨特的個人創作精神與語彙，本次展覽透過手工紙與日本純蠶絲的手工絹，交織著東方和西方的創作元素，邀請您來細細品味東方新古典的風華。

  《The Elegance of Modern Classicism – Lin Wei’s Solo Exhibition of Oriental Media》is Lin’s first exhibition after completing her Fine Arts Postgraduate Studies in 2009. After graduating from NTUA (National Taiwan University of Arts), Lin decided to continue her studies as a postgraduate student at NTCU (National Taichung University) with a great enthusiasm for painting. During these years, she has not only taken Glue Color painting courses at THU (Thughai University), but also traveled Japan, USA, Korea, South-East Asia and several Chinese provinces, in order to find fountains of abundant creativeness.

  It is often discussed how traditional artistic conventions and contemporary art interlace, Lin has gone beyond the techniques she learnt from Chinese Art and notably blends the western artistic elements into the Eastern media. As a young artist of the 21^st century, Lin creates her own neoclassicism with the essence of Oriental culture.

  Lin says, “whenever you stand in front of an artwork, enjoying the artist’s ingenious creation, your mind is like another face of the mirror, reflecting the very indigenous and real side of yourself”. When Art is free of imitation, it will truly reflect people’s lives and emotions at that time. From this exhibition, we will be able to explore a young artist’s innermost feelings and her distinctive spirit, which leads us to see the world in her sensational eyes.
