亞紀畫廊很榮幸舉辦林亦軒個展「密度」,這是藝術家在畫廊的第四次個展,也是參加畫廊週北京藝訪單元同名個展的延續。拉丁美洲的獨特性給予旅居該地十四年的林亦軒有別於西方藝術中心以外的養分,在當代藝術擴大至多元、混種觀點以重新定義歷史的當下,他提供了東方抽象繪畫如何再演進的一個例證。回顧歷史,前衛抽象繪畫的進程在世界各地產生互為呼應的連結,吳大羽的勢象、李仲生的潛意識、到李元佳的線條與宇宙點、與東京、巴黎、義大利、之間的前衛藝術的同時發生,而巴西作為南半球或拉丁美洲抽象表現最興盛的國家,卻以關注「Forma形式」為概念的非客觀抽象理論,延伸出另一種抽象繪畫的面貌。林亦軒繪畫中色彩、形式的大膽與反差,以及來自於拉美社會中習得的生活感,在過去五年內已經成為創作的一種基調。
如其他偉大的抽象藝術家一樣,林亦軒生活圍繞著對文學的熱愛-最初前往拉美的驅動力中,旅遊文學、拉美魔幻文學、垮世代文學是最重要因素-由此看來,林亦軒自始便已註定一種融合的氣質,各地風土所成長出的文學、顏色、形式、文字、圖像和意義相互競爭並相互聯繫,創造出一種新的、更豐富的表達語言,它同時是一個自由的空間,如同林亦軒生活還需要的海洋、陽光、綠葉,以及在拉美社會中遇到的種種經歷與疑惑,然後與藝術的神秘形成鮮明對比。透過此,林亦軒「夢想」與「現實」兩種明顯相互衝突的狀態帶入畫面,他作品中的純粹之所以能夠被感知和理解,是因為它亦是如此的轉瞬即逝,沒有任何形而上學的意圖,也沒有任何理論的探索可以將林亦軒被定義在某種特定的學術框架:唯有這樣的開放與重新思索,才能解釋林亦軒嶄新的抽象繪畫。
Each Modern is pleased to present Density, São Paulo based artist Lin YiHsuan’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Density is also the extension of the artist’s debut at Gallery Weekend Beijing in May.
The distinctive cultural landscape of Latin America has deeply nourished Lin YiHsuan during his fourteen-year sojourn, providing a lens distinct from the conventions of Western art. As contemporary art broadens its scope to embrace diverse and hybrid perspectives, reinterpreting history, Lin exemplifies the potential evolution of Eastern abstract painting. The realm of abstract painting is a complex, cryptic medium, fragmented yet continuous, leisurely, yet precise. Historically, the evolution of avant-garde abstract painting has woven a global web of interconnected influences, from Wu Dayu's 'Shi Xiang,' Li Chun-Shan's explorations of the subconscious, to Li Yuan-chia's lines and Cosmic Point. These developments have occurred in parallel with avant-garde movements in Tokyo, Paris, and Italy. Within this global dialogue, Brazil, the most prosperous hub for abstract expression in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere, has offered fresh insights by focusing on the non-objective abstract theoretical concept of 'Forma.' In Lin’s paintings, the vibrancy and contrast of colors and forms, informed by his immersion in Latin American life, have become dominant themes over the past five years.
