Portrait of a Woman in the Wilderness展期 Dates｜2024.07.27 – 08.31地點 Venue｜大未來林舍畫廊 Lin & Lin Gallery
大未來林舍畫廊將於今夏七月推出曾冠雄首次個展《夜勤慌境》。此次個展名稱取自聖經中的詞彙，「荒境」一詞描述令人感到無助和恐慌的場域。曾冠雄透過佇立於黑夜中的女子形象、濃郁蔥蘢場景元素的刻劃與構圖，凸顯漆黑「荒境」空間的「夜勤者」，象徵在當代社會機械般重複的勞動模式、精準計算的環境中，極具壓抑且孤獨焦慮的人們，展現藝術家對現實生活的情感與體悟。
Lin & Lin Gallery is pleased to present Tseng Guan-Shiung’s first solo exhibition Portrait of a Woman in the Wilderness in July. The title of this exhibition, “Wilderness (ερημι?)” is taken from a biblical term which describes a field of helplessness and panic. Tseng Guan-Shiung emphasizes the woman’s portrait in the wilderness through the image of a woman standing in the darkness, as well as the depiction of lush plants and the composition, to symbolize people who are extremely depressed and lonely in today’s world of mechanically repetitive work patterns and precision computing, demonstrating the artist's emotion and epiphany of life.

「在這塊境地裡，天色幽暗、壓抑劇場，但真正讓人焦慮的是『未知』。就連奇花異草都沒有自己的形狀。」
——曾冠雄
“In the realm, the sky is dark and the stage is depressing,
but what really cause anxiety is the ‘unknown’.”
——Tseng Guan-Shiung
「黑暗中的柔美女子」、「綠意盎然的自然景色」是曾冠雄作品中常見的元素。藉由構圖和各種物件的安排，藝術家筆下有著優美姿態、表情卻肅穆凝重的女子，在充斥著漆黑的環境中被比自己高大的植物葉面圍繞，彰顯出人物的渺小。另一方面，在光影明暗的對比中，花團鮮豔的顏色引導觀者將視覺聚焦於畫面中央，人物位置成為了唯一的明亮之處，構成了一個怪誕、詭異卻具有戲劇張力的畫面美感。
“Gentle women in darkness” and “lush green nature” are common elements in Tseng’s artwork. Through the composition and arrangement of objects, the beautifully posed and grave-looking women is surrounding by the leaves of much larger plants in the deep black environment to show the tiny size of the figure. Meanwhile, in the contrast of light and shadow, the bright colors of flowers draw the audience’s attention to the center of the screen, and the figure’s position becomes the only bright spot, creating a bizarre, weird, but dramatic tension in the aesthetics of the screen.

此次展覽的作品，表面上看似描繪女子的優雅與刻劃精緻的自然景象，實際上卻是反映當下社會對平滑和媚俗的追求。藝術家將這些的元素去除了多餘且不完美的部分，呈現在精心構建的舞臺上，但畫面上的女子反而成為了社會美學舞臺上壓抑且孤獨個體，如同置身「荒境」之中，引領觀者將自身投射到人物身上，意識到在追逐社會所定義的價值觀時，將如同荒境中的夜勤者，使我們變成了剝削自己與剝削他人的動物。
The works in this exhibition, which superficially appear to depict the women in elegant and delicately nature scenes, in fact reflect the pursuit of smoothness and kitsch in contemporary society. The artist removes the unnecessary and imperfect from these elements and presents them on the well-constructed stage, but the woman in the painting becomes a depressed and lonely individual on the stage of social aesthetics, as if in a “Wilderness”, the audience is made to project themselves onto the figures and realize that in pursuing socially defined values, we would be like these figures, turning into animals that exploit ourselves and others.
