陳松志近作展

伊日藝術計劃將於2025年4月24日至5月17日舉辦臺灣藝術家《陳松志近作展》，呈現其以回收木料為創作素材的代表性系列新作。

陳松志擅長運用平凡的媒材，探討無常、脆弱與時間流逝等主題。他的作品以靜謐而簡約的質感與物理形態，構築出深具個人語彙的造型美學。在《微弱的美感#TPE 系列》中，木材表面的裂隙、斑駁，既是自然的痕跡，也是時間流轉的印記。每一

塊木材都反映了歲月洗禮後微弱卻珍貴的美感，承載著過去的記憶，也喚起觀者對

無常與脆弱的深刻感知。這些木料不只是時間的見證，更是過去與現在情感交織的載體。

藝術家從細節中捕捉生命流轉的微妙，邀請觀者悠遊於無聲的存在，體驗時間隱秘而緩慢的流動。《微弱的美感#TPE系列》揭示了物質靜默的存在狀態，亦蘊含東方哲學中關於無常與空性的思維一種認為萬事萬物皆處於不斷變化的觀點。陳

松志透過不完整性與隱含的殘缺之美，喚起人們對存在脆弱與無常狀態的敏銳體察。

此系列作品富含臺灣常民建築文化中材質與空間經驗的轉化。藝術家藉以對材料時間性與殘缺美的敏銳觀察，體現出在地文化面對時代流轉的細膩蒐集。陳松志以回收木材創作，不僅展現對環境的關懷，也呼應「惜物」與尊重材料生命歷程的價值觀。經其轉化木材成為承載時間、記憶的詩意境域，也編織出個人與集體情感交織的物質風景。

每一塊木材的表面，宛如被時間磨蝕過的「身影」，帶有歲月的隱喻與記憶的回聲。

這些「隱象」並非具體可辨的形貌，而是潛藏於材質紋理中的無聲痕跡。每一道裂縫與木痕，皆透露著時間的蹤跡，訴說著時空消散的詩意。作品中所呈現的微弱美感，正是美與情感最真實的流露，亦是藝術家對時間、物質與生命循環深層體悟的展現。

Chen Sung Chih: Recent Works

YIRI Arts is pleased to presentChen Sung Chih: Recent Works from April 24 to May 17, 2025, featuring a new body ofwork by Taiwanese artistChen Sung Chih. The exhibition showcases his latest pieces from a signature series created using reclaimed wood as the primary medium.

reverence forthe "ethics ofcherishing things" and for the life cycle ofmaterials. By reimagining and reshaping wood, he constructs poetic spaces where time and memory quietly reside, forming materiallandscapes infused with personal and collective sentiment.

Chen is known forhis use ofhumble, everyday materials to explore themes of impermanence, fragility, and the passage of time. His works are characterized by a quiet and minimal aesthetic, both in texture and form, forming a distinctive visuallanguage. In his Delicate Sensibilities #TPE Series, the cracks and patina on the surface of the wood are not only traces of naturalaging, butalso imprints of time’s subtle passage. Each piece of wood carries the faint yet precious beauty shaped by the weathering of time, preserving memories of the past and evoking a deep awareness of transience and vulnerability. These materials are not merely witnesses to time, butvessels that intertwine emotion between the pastand present.

With a keen sensitivity to the details of materialdecay and change, Chen captures the subtle shifts in life’s passage. He invites viewers to lingerin a state of still presence, experiencing the slow and often imperceptible flow of time. The Delicate Sensibilities #TPE Series reveals the silent existence of materiality and resonates with Eastern philosophies of impermanence and emptiness a worldview in which allthings are constantly in flux. Through incompleteness and the hidden beauty of imperfection, Chen encourages an acute awareness of the fragile, ever-changing nature of being.

The series draws upon the tactile memory and materialexperience ofTaiwan’s vernacular architectural culture. Through a sensitive observation ofthe temporality and imperfection of materials, the artist responds to the transformation ofculturallandscapes overtime. Chen’s use ofreclaimed wood reflects not only an environmental concern, but also a

The surface of each piece of wood resembles a silhouette worn by time, containing metaphors of age and echoes of memory. These “hidden forms” are not clearly defined forms, but quiet traces embedded in the wood’s texture and grain. Each crack and mark holds a fragment of time, whispering the poetry of passing moments. The subtle beauty presented in Chen’s works is an honest expression ofemotion and aesthetics a profound meditation on time, materiality, and the cycles of life.
