本次個展「激情與空無」集結了多件平面繪畫與小型雕塑,藉以探尋個人在感性能量及理性規則的彼此碰撞、拉扯之下,所激發的創作靈感與才能。然而當此種才能成為規則下的產物時,也往往是一種限制,因此藝術家認為,如何透過個人直覺去突破路徑的過程,正如同經歷源自古希臘神話中的「迷宮(Labyrinth)」,看似層疊交錯,卻有著絕對的出口,而作品,則是在迷途中的探索與思考、感知與理智交融之下的情感表達及呈現。
Trugeda’s solo exhibition, Passion and Emptiness, features multiple paintings and small-scale sculptures, which have embodied the artist’s exploration of his creative inspiration and talent charged by the collision and interaction between sensibility and rationality. However, when such talent becomes contained by rules, it can also become a constraint in artistic creation. Trugeda believes that intuition is essential in making a breakthrough in this situation, and this process of making a breakthrough is similar to meandering in the Greek mythological “labyrinth,” which seems extremely complicated but still has a definite exit. Artworks, from this perspective, are exploration and thinking during the search of the right path as well as the emotional expression and manifestation that integrate sense and sensibility.
