Exhibition Period

31 January - 28 February 2024

"Reviviscence" is a journey of self-compassion, a farewell to our old world. Adversity, anxiety, and self-doubt have taken away our sense of security but also compelled a rediscovery of our authentic self.


The exhibition is divided into "Part I: Rebirth" and "Part II: Serenity." The characters in each piece are the souls yearning for rebirth. The artist manifests their internal monologue through microexpressions and mirror gazing. In the first part, individuals dialogue with themselves, seeking release through reconciliation. In the second part, the works depict a composure of hope amid chaos. In both parts, the artist attempts to explore the relationship between adversity and renewed vigour.


The works contain a sense of introspection and repentance, depicting the noble spirit of humanity. Characters are often drawn from the artist's daily reflections and observations towards people around us. Beyond self-compassion, the exhibition encourages viewers to show compassion to others, i.e. with humility and listening, but not superiority and preaching.

「復燃」是一場自我關懷的內在旅程,也是它對舊世界的告別儀式。絕處、焦慮和自我質疑,破滅了過去的慣常模式,卻催促我們正視真正的內在需要,最終另闢新徑。

 

展覽分為「浴火重生」和「否極泰來」兩部份。每幅作品的人物,都是盼望著新生的靈魂。藝術家通過人物細緻的表情和自我凝視,表現他們的內心獨白。在第一部份,人物開始與自己展開對話,並與自我和解。在第二部份,人物在人生的黑暗中,卻起了變化,生出了平靜的心境。無論哪一部份,也在關心絕處和生命的關連。

 

作品帶著内省和懺悔意識,描繪人類高貴的內在精神,人物取材自藝術家的日常思考及周遭男男女女的心理觀察。除了自我關懷,展覽也鼓勵觀眾關心身邊人細微到近乎隱藏的感受,並以聆聽代替教悔、以謙遜代替傲慢。
