Artist Statement
『記憶是模糊而破碎的，我用流動碎片式的筆觸，重組勾勒出旅途中短暫的城市印象。』 這次的展覽主題是『流逝與重生』的意象延伸。我在後疫情走訪歐洲倫敦，荷蘭，日本東京等城市， 創作作品以都市風貌為媒介， 揉合主觀記憶與現場觀察 寫，畫面中既有對歷史建築的凝視，也有日常生活中的瞬間情緒投射。在旅途中略過的光影、聲音與 片段記憶，時而清晰，時而消散。透過流動、碎片式的筆觸與豐富色彩，嘗試捕捉這些瞬間，描繪出城市的光影節奏、空間與情感 ，對不同「光線」更細膩的紀錄，重組 內心對這些城市的印象與感受。
這是一場介於現實與記憶之間的視覺探索，也是一次對印象派大師們的致敬，一次對城市精神的再詮釋。
Memory drifts—blurred and broken. Through fluid, fragmented brushstrokes, I piece together fleeting impressions of cities glimpsed in passing."
This exhibition unfolds as an echo of "Ephemeral and Renewal." — an exploration of what fades and what remains. In the quiet aftermath of the pandemic, I journeyed through cities like London, Amsterdam, and Tokyo, where urban landscapes became both canvas and conduit.
Each work blends the intimacy of personal memory with the immediacy of on-site sketches. Within the frames, you’ll find still moments—lingering gazes upon old architecture, and passing emotions captured from everyday life. The light and shadow, sounds and fragments of memory gathered along the way—at times vivid, at times dissolving—float in and out of clarity.
With shifting, broken lines and rich, resonant color, I seek to hold onto these ephemeral instants: to paint the rhythm of light and shadow, the pulse of space and feeling. Each brushstroke is a tender attempt to trace the subtle textures of light, to rebuild my emotional landscapes of these cities from within.
This is a visual exploration journey between reality and memory, a tribute to the Impressionist masters, and a reinterpretation of the spirit of the city.
Artwork 展覽作品
『那是一場寧靜卻充滿情緒的散步，站在街角看著車流，燈光，在濕潤柏油路面上被拉長，在水面道路上閃爍如樂章。創作時 我特意運用冷暖光對比色調：冷色象徵這座城市高 運轉
疏離流失一面；暖色像是雨水中偶而映出的笑容與希望。
我一直對“倒映反射“
深感著迷，也常在我過去作品中看到。雨後街道成了一面流動大鏡子，折射出不僅是光線與輪廓，更 像 是城市的憯意識。我用抽象方式玩出地面反射肌裡效果，刻意模糊現實邊界，讓觀著在觀看時自行進入一種開放想像空間。
地面上下的虛實空間，共同譜出一種有秩序卻自由流動的城市旋律。』
"It was a quiet walk, yet full of emotion."
Standing at the street corner, I watched the flow of traffic and the lights stretching across the damp asphalt—glimmering on the wet surface like a musical score. In this piece, I intentionally used a contrast of warm and cool tones: cool hues represent the fast-paced, alienating, and transient nature of the city; warm tones evoke the fleeting smiles and moments of hope that occasionally reflect in the rain.
I've always been fascinated by reflections—a recurring theme throughout my work. After the rain, the streets become flowing mirrors, not only reflecting light and shapes but also revealing the subconscious of the city itself. Through abstraction, I explored the texture of ground reflections, deliberately blurring the boundary of reality to invite viewers into an open space of imagination.
The interplay between the solid and reflected spaces—above and below the surface—composes a visual rhythm: one that is both structured and freely flowing, like a city’s silent melody.
『這件作品我選擇高角度近距離取景視角，將城市壓縮為幾何與色塊的交錯編排。我大膽對前下方建築幾何牆面看似簡化 處 理，近看卻有細微肌裡顏色變化；對畫面上半部一些重點屋頂角色的一種剝離，讓觀著不被煩瑣干擾， 達到視覺平衡，更直接 感受結構本身受光影變化的張力與存在。相對在屋頂教堂則保留更多筆觸多樣性，象徵記憶中流動與重組；豐富且具流動性 筆觸，成為視覺語言中的一項新元素。色彩上，我使用較明亮天空藍為主色調，以冷色描繪夏日，是一種刻意反差。有點讓畫 面脫離真實，再進一步進入情感的空間。藍色在這裡是天空的延伸，也是思緒的投射。
城市在畫面中重新編排，不是為了再現，而是一種表達。建築不再只是功能性容器，是心中的一種城市感：既真實又抽象，即 冷靜又富有情感。』
In this work, I use a high-angle, close-up perspective to compress the city into an abstract arrangement of geometry and color.
The foreground architecture is simplified in form but reveals subtle texture and tonal shifts upon closer look. Key rooftops are intentionally stripped of detail to reduce visual noise, creating balance and drawing focus to the tension between structure, light, and shadow.
In contrast, the rooftop chapel features expressive, varied brushstrokes—echoing how memories shift and reshape. These strokes introduce a new layer of visual rhythm.
A bright sky blue dominates the palette. Using cool tones to depict summer adds a subtle dissonance, pulling the scene away from realism and into an emotional space. Here, blue becomes both sky and thought.
This city is not a replica, but a feeling—structured yet fluid, distant yet personal.
『在這幅描繪倫敦黃昏的作品，我以大面積壯闊且豐富的天空為視覺開頭，由天際線的金橙色為主與淡淡玫瑰紅為輔，過渡 到中斷的薰衣草紫與靛藍，再漸漸向畫布上方昇華深 的墨藍。嘗試描繪出橘黃光線穿透出雲層的瞬間，使雲 朵邊緣泛出淡 淡光亮，宛如燒紅的絨邊，為整個天空增添一層層神秘柔和的戲劇性。最引人注目的，是河面上一道悠長的橙色反光 ，我巧 妙將天空光線從天上引入水中，使整幅畫上下呼應，像似黃昏最後一道餘暉，靜靜在水面延展，他也是一條視覺引導線，溫 暖柔和的貫穿在一片
睡灰色調城市區塊，形成強烈視覺連貫性。
這樣大面積天空，與城市與河流的情境構圖，創 出強烈空間感與情緒對比，彷彿整座城市都 浸在這片無言卻深情的黃金 橘暮色之中。』
This painting of a London dusk begins with a vast, richly layered sky as its visual anchor.
The skyline transitions from a glowing golden orange, touched with hints of soft rose, into broken bands of lavender and indigo, eventually dissolving into a deep midnight blue at the top. I sought to capture the fleeting moment when orange light pierces through the clouds, outlining their edges with a subtle glow—like embers along velvet seams—infusing the sky with a quiet, mysterious drama.
The most striking feature is the long, orange reflection across the river—a gentle path of light that draws the sky downward into the water. This moment of connection between sky and river serves as a visual guide, echoing the last glimmer of twilight. It cuts softly through the muted grey cityscape, creating a strong sense of visual unity and warmth.
Through this sweeping composition of sky, city, and river, I aimed to create a powerful contrast of space and mood—as if the entire city were quietly immersed in this golden-orange dusk, silent yet full of feeling
『此作品取材自荷蘭郊區 “贊丹”的午後田園風光。難得走出繁忙快 的城市景，眼前是一望無際的草原，空氣寧靜，景色遼 闊。作品主題聚焦在悠閒自得的乳牛。我刻意選擇以兩塊畫板拼組一服完整畫面，試圖紀錄不同時間與空間中交錯的牛群姿 態情境瞬間。這樣的構圖安排，模糊了時間的延續性，也讓畫面有了更多敘事和觀察空間。在構圖上也大量使用留白空間來 營 出出寬廣自由平靜的感覺。
牛是一種合群動物，牠們喜歡群聚行動，彼此間保持微妙距離與默契。這幅畫不僅呈現自然景致，更是一種對 “ 自由與安 定” 的觀察與詮釋。』
This work captures a quiet afternoon in the Dutch countryside of Zaanstad—a rare escape from the fast pace of urban life. The open fields stretch endlessly, filled with stillness and calm. At the center of the scene are grazing cows, relaxed and unhurried.
I chose to present the painting across two joined panels, allowing me to portray overlapping moments in time and space. The arrangement softens the sense of linear time, inviting viewers to observe and imagine freely. Wide areas of negative space enhance the feeling of openness and peace.
Cows are social animals, moving in groups with a quiet sense of rhythm and distance.
Beyond the landscape, this piece reflects on the quiet harmony of freedom and stability found in nature
『描繪我舊金山工作室附近的街角風景，這是我最常散步 寫的角落，也是我最喜歡的區域之一。
著名的山坡和黃昏光線是 我想記錄下來的。我在陰影處簡化處理，讓視覺焦點集中在被夕陽照亮房屋上。那溫暖透明的金黃光芒，在油畫厚薄層疊來 回筆觸中，希望呈現出光線在建築表面移動的節奏感，也讓觀著感受到那一刻的寧靜與時間流動。透過光與影，有一種與自 己日常對話，也試圖表達內心對這座居住長達 20年城市空間的深層情感與連結，留下一點紀錄。』
This piece depicts a street corner near my studio in San Francisco—one of my favorite spots and a place I often sketch during walks. I was drawn to the city’s iconic slopes and the warm glow of dusk, which I wanted to preserve. Shadows are simplified to bring focus to the houses lit by the setting sun. Through layered oil brushstrokes—thick and thin—I aimed to capture the rhythm of light moving across the building surfaces.
This moment of golden light holds a quiet stillness, a sense of time passing. Through light and shadow, I reflect on my everyday surroundings and express a deeper emotional connection to the city I’ve called home for over 20 years—a personal record of place and memory.
『畫面主調以冷色系為主，深藍，墨黑交織出黃昏過後的倫敦。天邊殘留一抹餘暉，映照著雲層邊緣。城市的輪廓在薄霧中落 隱落現，有股夢境般的神秘感。整體氣氛略帶哀愁，彷彿城市正輕聲低語，吐露著隱藏的過往。 城市街道與橋樑上一點點溫 暖燈火漸次亮起，金黃光芒在畫布中如星辰閃爍，河上倒影，將光點拉長，像在夜裡書寫無聲的詩句，猶如黑暗中堅持閃爍 信念。畫作中流動性的大小光點有如音符躍動，有節奏性地層層疊出旋律感，彷彿凝聽一首低語的夜曲。我希望觀者不只是 在觀看一幅畫，也能靜靜聆聽一首關於城市、時間、與 內心世界的樂章。』
This London piece is built around a cool-toned palette—deep blues and inky blacks shaping the city as it fades into evening.
A trace of sunset lingers on the horizon, softly lighting the edges of the clouds. The city’s silhouette emerges and disappears through a thin mist, evoking a dreamlike, almost mysterious mood. There's a quiet melancholy, as if the city is whispering forgotten memories.
Warm lights begin to flicker across streets and bridges—tiny golden sparks scattered like stars. Their reflections stretch across the river, writing silent poetry in the night, holding onto belief in the dark. These glowing points flow across the canvas like musical notes, layered with rhythm and movement, forming a nocturne that gently speaks.
I hope viewers don’t just see this work—but pause to listen to it: a quiet composition about the city, time, and the inner self.
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！』
Set in a quiet Taiwanese alley at night, this work captures familiar city elements—tangled wires, humming air conditioners, and scooters resting by the wall. At the center is a stray cat, wandering without a clear destination, simply drawn by light. Through its perspective, the scene becomes a quiet reflection on how we move through the city, searching for direction or meaning.
I used open space, angular lines, and soft shadows to build a triangular composition with the cat, creating a subtle sense of imbalance—as if inviting the viewer to follow. Though it may suggest being lost, the painting also speaks of belonging, and the quiet beginning of a new journey
『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 “框內之景”，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。』
This is one of the few figurative works in the exhibition, drawn from my love of observing people—especially those in often-overlooked everyday professions.
I’ve always enjoyed Japanese yakitori, and during a visit to a small yakitori bar in New York, I was struck by the view from my seat into the kitchen. Framed naturally by a window, smoke, and shifting light, it felt like a quiet stage scene—or a fleeting cinematic moment from real life.
The chef’s focused expression and skillful movements conveyed a quiet respect for the food he was preparing. The swirling smoke not only suggested warmth but also wrapped the space in a soft, atmospheric stillness—capturing both the anticipation of diners and a quiet tribute to craftsmanship.
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？』
This piece captures a scene from a famous bar inside London’s iconic landmark, “The Shard.”
At the center is a distinctive oval-shaped bar, open on all sides—appearing borderless, inviting the viewer’s gaze to flow freely. Through abstract brushwork, I aimed to depict a fleeting sense of intoxication—a light, drifting state between reason and emotion. Boundaries blur, and both space and sensation seem to shift.
Is it the calm of a gentle buzz, or the subtle noise of city life pressing in?
『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』
This series was created after a visit to Amsterdam, deeply inspired by the color and brushwork of Dutch Impressionist master Vincent Van Gogh.
Blending his influence with my own perspective, I developed a set of urban impressions of the Netherlands through a modern lens.
In these three works, I echoed Van Gogh’s intuitive and expressive use of color—especially his signature palette of Tiffany blue and warm yellow-oranges—to capture the unique light and atmosphere of Amsterdam at dusk. The skies are grounded in Tiffany blue, while the glowing streetlights and car headlights, like scattered musical notes, dance lightly across the canvas. The contrast between the soft architectural silhouettes and the interplay of blue-green skies and golden lights adds both depth and energy to each scene.
Though each painting depicts a different location, the skyborne city wires stretch across all three, linking them into a single visual composition—a dynamic evening palette.
This is not only an homage, but a reinterpretation. Through this series, I explore how classic colors and scenes can be reimagined with contemporary emotion, inviting viewers to find something new within the familiar.
