涴莎藝術展演中心展覽

中國書法通常以黑與白呈現，這兩種對立的元素形成強烈而戲劇性的對比。而色彩同樣能產生鮮明的對照，正如馬克・夏卡爾傳達的：「所有的顏色都是彼此鄰近的朋友，也是其對立者的戀人。」這樣的觀念是這些作品的核心主題，同時也結合了我對文字起源的好奇——其中有些文字最初是象形符號，後來演變為大篆或小篆等早期文字形式。這對我而言是一個學習的過程，而我也驚訝地發現，當我詢問在地的臺灣人這些古老文字的含義時，竟有這麼多人並不清楚，或需要花一些時間才能認出這些字真正的意思。那麼，對你來說，有多少是顯而易見的呢？ 也想特別感謝與我共同師從汪老師的侯玉恬同學，在我修習書法的過程中給我莫大的助力，從初步學習階段就一直不吝給予我幫助，非常謝謝這位同學。 Chinese Calligraphy (Xu Fa) is usually in black and white, opposites that contrast dramatically. Colors can also have dramatic contrasts as poetically expressed by Marc Chagall, “All colors are the friends of their neighours and the lovers of their opposites.” This is a central theme in these pictures coupled with a curiosity of the origins of the words, some as pictograms transformed into the early scripts of Da Zhuang or Xiao Zhuang. It’s a learning process for me, but I am also surprised on asking local Taiwanese the meaning of these ancient characters how many don’t know or take some time until they recognize what these words actually mean. How many are obvious to you? 藝術家｜ 謝小龍 Andrew Starck 謝小龍(Andrew Starck)是一位英國／愛爾蘭裔藝術家，於 1980 年代，與 Peter Doig、John Galliano、Haydn Cottam 及 Dean Bright等名家共同畢業於倫敦藝術大學（中央聖馬丁學院）。其後，因受馬來西亞皇室委託繪製肖像而移居東亞。命運最終將他帶到臺灣，並在此愉快地生活，教授藝術、舞蹈、哲學、歷史與語言。 在臺灣期間，安德魯有幸師從已故的汪老師學習書法。目前是台南市書法學會、清風書道學會及南瀛書法學會的會員，並經常於兩地展出其作品。 Andrew Starck is an Anglo/Irish artist who graduated in a prestigious year group at UAL (St. Martin’s) in the 1980’s with Peter Doig, John Galliano, Haydn Cottam and Dean Bright.
