Artwork 展覽作品
沒有終點的起點, Unknown Destination, Oil on Panel, 24”x18”, 2025
『夜深的台灣街巷，電線纏繞，冷氣外機還在運轉，機車停在靠在牆邊，像準備再次 啟程的身體。這些日常元素，組成了我們 習以為常卻容易忽略的城市風景。
我選擇加入繪製了一隻迷路街貓，以牠的視角出發，沒有明確的目的地，只是被某種光吸引，像我們在城市裡，不斷尋找方 向。
在構圖上，我刻意保留大量牆面地面的空間留白，巧妙使用房子結構和光影 ，與一些斜向線條，與貓咪構成三角形構圖。有 一種輕微的不穩感，也讓觀著 產生一種“跟著貓走”的視覺錯覺。
這幅作品可以看似迷路漂泊，但也是一種歸屬感的追尋，或是一段新旅程的開始！』
『這次展覽中少見的人物場景創作之一。我一直很愛紀錄觀察人，尤其日常生活中習以為常 ，不太被注意到的職業。本身很愛 吃日式串燒，有次跟友人在紐約這家日式串燒店用餐，從座位望向廚房的那一刻被吸引住。那是一個被窗框，煙霧，光影自 然構成的 “框
，猶如一幕劇場，也像是生活中不經意的電影鏡頭。
畫面中的師傅神情專定，動作熟練，他專業對食物的敬意，在迷霧旋繞的廚房格外動人。煙霧營 出食物的溫度，也讓整個 空間籠罩著一種含蓄氛圍：是客人對美食的期待，也是對職人的精神致敬。』
碎片大樓酒罷吧, Bar at The Shard, Oil on Panel, 12”x24”, 2023-2025
『場景是描繪於倫敦著名地標：碎片大樓 (TheShard)裡高樓層的酒吧景觀。畫面中以獨特橢圓形吧檯為主，四面敞開，彷彿沒 有邊界，邀請觀者在視覺上自由流動。我試圖以抽象筆觸捕捉那一瞬醉意，一種游移於理性與情緒之間的輕盈狀態。界線模 糊，空間與感觀皆在飄移。是微醺的放鬆，還是都市裡粉擾的雜訊？』
『此系列作品誕生於 訪荷蘭阿姆斯特丹後，深受荷蘭印象派大師梵谷 (VincentVanGogh) 色彩筆觸運用的啟發，融入個人視 角和風格，創 出一系列對荷蘭的城市印象畫作。
在這三幅作品中，我延續梵谷對色彩的敏銳直覺和情感表達，特別選用他畫作常見配色元素： Tiffany 藍和黃橙色，來描繪阿 姆斯特丹傍晚時分獨特的光影顏色變化。畫面中，天空皆以 Tiffany 藍為基底陪襯，傍晚街道暖黃色燈火和車燈的點綴，宛如 大小音符的獨奏者巧妙流動分佈在畫面中跳舞似的；建築輪廓在藍綠天色與黃光燈火的交替之下顯得柔和而深邃，形成強而 有力對比，也共同譜出畫面的豐富性。雖然三幅作品分別描繪不同的荷蘭場景，但藉由畫面中天空的城市纜線巧妙 串聯交織 出一幅充滿張力的傍晚調色盤。
這不僅是一種致敬，更是一種轉化，我希望以現代視角重新演繹經典配色和場景，希望觀者在熟悉視覺語言中感受到嶄新的 情緒層次』

About The Artist
Hsin-Yao Tseng
b. 1986, Taiwanese American; work and live in San Francisco, CA, U.S.A.
Hsin-Yao was recognized by the Art Renewal Center as an ARC Living Master since 2014. He received the Signature Status recognition by Portrait Society of America since 2018.
Hsin-Yao paints oil in a Romantic, expressive manner that honors the Western tradition while signaling an edgy, contemporary complexity. He has a curiosity and energy that propel him toward experimentation and innovation; accordingly, he works in a range of genres: from lush evocations of cityscapes to expressive portraits, and lustrous interiors and exteriors in which multiple figures enact a story, and finally to his recent new exploration in bright colors of flower paintings. Hsin-Yao’s prose testifies to the fact that he is ambitious in the best sense; he is eager to push his art beyond what’s immediate and popular toward the timeless and real.
Over the years, Hsin-Yao has won many national and international awards including the First Place awards at Southwest Art Magazine Artist Excellence competition in 2016., He received both Exceptional Merit Award and Certificate of Excellence in International Portrait Competition from Portrait Society of America, in 2012 and 2010. He was honored to receive Honorable Mention Award and finalist awards in ARC Salon. His work is on the 2016 November cover of the Southwest Art magazine and 2012 December of the Artist’s magazine. He has exhibited his works in a huge number of gallery group shows and solo shows across the United States, Europe, and Taiwan. His works have been sold in NYC Sothebys' Contemporary Art Auction in 2020 and 2022. Also, his works have also been showing at the MEAM in Barcelona, Spain.
