藝博會|JINGART 藝覽北京博覽會—劉時棟|Booth A01

大未來林舍畫廊將於2023年JINGART藝覽北京，帶來趙趙、申亮、徐華翎及劉時棟的最新創作，呈現藝術家如何在現今中西方文化交互影響的環境中，演繹出多元的當代華人美學，並勾勒出藝術家在繼承過去美學足跡的同時，如何與歷史進行不同角度的對話，乃至跨越的當代藝術面貌。

Lin & Lin Gallery is pleased to participate in 2023 JINGART, presenting latest artworks by artists Zhao Zhao, Shen Liang, Xu Hualing, and Liu Shih-Tung. The exhibition shows how artists interpret a diverse contemporary aesthetic in an environment where Chinese and Western culture interact, traces how artists inherit the aesthetic of the past whilst engaging in a dialogue with history from different perspectives and even span the contemporary artistic landscape.

劉時棟 LIU SHIH-TUNG

劉時棟的創作取材自日常「採集」的自然與非自然的物質文化殘片，以獨特細膩的拼貼手法及創作美學，拆解又重構了「歷史」和「記憶」的敘事架構與實相，形成了一幅幅生活記憶微型博物圖景。藝術家借用中國古器圖像，在那些器形上層層疊加、拼貼錯置，重組了時間，賦予當代的符號，畫面不僅洋溢著寄情於物的文人抒情傳統，一種屬於傳統具象繪畫的「主題∕背景」關係也出現了。

Liu Shih-Tung’s works are based on natural and unnatural fragments of culture material collected from daily life. He dismantles and reconstructs the narrative structure and reality of history and memory by using unique and delicate collage and the aesthetics of creation, forming pictures of life memory.  Liu took the images of Chinese antique, and has reorganized time and given them contemporary symbols by applying layers and layers of collage on those objects. At the same time, not only is the painting overflowing with the literati tradition of placing feelings on objects, but a subject-background relationship that belongs to traditional figurative painting also emerges.
