Bluerider ART 藍騎士藝術空間
2023 DnA SHENZHEN #A06
Bluerider ART 藍騎士藝術空間將於 2023 年 9 月 14 日- 9 月 17 日參與DnA SHENZHEN 藝術博覽會，推出多位代理國際藝術家多元代表性作品，涉及人文、自然、抽象與具像等主題。
創辦人王薇薇Elsa Wang 表示：“ 2023 DnA SHENZHEN 是Bluerider ART 第二年在深圳展出，深圳藝術蓬勃發展，藏家群對新型態概念接受度高，是Bluerider ART重點推廣城市之一，繼上一屆參展獲得廣大迴響後，今年我們展位擴大，難得精選20位代理國際藝術家，更前衛作品與大眾分享，透過近距離交流，感受來自不同文化背景獨特的風格語言，展開感知想像的精神共振，歡迎蒞臨現場參觀指教。”
2023 DnASHENZHEN Bluerider ART 展位 A06，展出作品涵蓋繪畫、裝置、攝影、雕塑…等。主視覺海報中英國X光攝影藝術家尼克・維西Nick Veasey標誌性的骷髏騎士坐在哈雷重機上，藉由獨特X光穿透物質表面技術，以黑白極簡呈現人與機械內在精密之美，以幽默風趣手法，表達冰冷事物之外的共情連繫。甫結束上海·外灘’伏筆’ 雙人展的德國藝術家魯普雷希特・馮・考夫曼Ruprecht von Kaufmann 與蘇珊・庫恩Susanne Kühn探討具象抽象的代表性創作，德國青年藝術家提姆・弗萊瓦德Tim Freiwald 透過破壞、分解、重構，打破傳統畫布框架，呈現繪畫雕塑多角度的次空間。加拿大女性藝術家珍娜・華生 Janna Watson 以抽象繪畫柔軟筆觸細膩色彩，將一切現實情緒化為構圖喚醒觀者情感。阿根廷年輕小將拉米羅・史密斯・埃斯特拉達 Ramiro Smith Estrada 成長於社群網絡世代，其肖像畫利用刺青文字符號，呈現在網絡世代的深入思考，如何看待自己、描繪自己。
尼克・維西 Nick Veasey (英國，b.1962)
國際知名的 X 光藝術家，藉由獨特 X 光的穿透手段，揭示表面下隱藏的面貌，幽默而頑童式地探索人和事物的內在本質。維西的 X 光創作始於一個汽水罐的成像， 純粹的構造美學引起他的共鳴。在其逾二十年的創作歷程中，他曾將大型波音 747 拆解，並進行浩大的拍攝工程。維西的 X 光攝影所使用的設備需首先獲得國家的許可，並且輻射強度遠超出醫院的 使用水平。在高度危險的環境下，藝術家憑藉豐富的經驗對 X 提升到全新的藝術境界。
魯普雷希特・馮・考夫曼 Ruprecht von Kaufmann (德國，b, 1974)
作為一位突出的圖像敘事藝術創作者，他選擇研究人的 各種層面，利用當代繪畫的視覺語言，展現批判敘事與平行現實幻境。他使用油彩創作，包括繪 畫、雕塑和紙上作品，創作靈感來源於生活經驗，更多時候利用閱讀文學、音樂、電影引發腦海中各種意象與想像，尤以電影影響甚鉅。相較於電影的時間敘事與聲線的交織，繪畫是定格的作品，藝術家在繪畫中引入前與後的感覺，以此方式打開更多表達的可能性，也預期觀者觀看作品時，隨著畫面構圖的引導，產生強烈的情緒反應。
蘇珊・庫恩 Susanne Kühn (德國，b. 1969)
創作的媒材從丙烯顏料、複合媒材、版畫、陶瓷皆有涉略。作品中可以見到山脈、 月光、朽木、動物等自然的描繪， 巧妙結合歷史元素，時而奇想、時而現實。繪畫中，多以年輕女性為視覺焦點，在多層次繁複的空間中移動，特殊安排的構圖及精確的細節描繪， 讓對象、對像在空間中產生微妙的平衡，超現實的場景，猶如當代舞台劇中流動變化的關係。人造空間也是庫恩 Kühn 作品的核心，她經常引用文藝復興時期藝術作品的構圖，像是畫家 Janvan Eyck 或是Albrecht Durer 的作品構圖，在空間、氛圍與光的層次上讓現實產生精確的幻覺。從古典至當代， 庫恩 Kühn 的作品賦予了觀者不同時空的元素穿越的現實錯覺， 以古典構圖視角，結合虛擬現實中的體驗氛圍，展現了女性獨自的形象。
迪爾克・薩爾茲 Dirk Salz(德國，b. 1962)
出身於藝術世家，從小學習繪畫與藝術史，現居住創作於德國米爾海姆。薩爾茲創作時從不使用筆刷和畫布，而是使用油漆滾筒及潑灑樹脂時的重力，使作品脫離傳統極簡主義，探索透明度和色彩與光線和空間之間的關係。此次展出的是他「Deep Dive」系列的作品，藝術家以顏料與環氧樹脂反复構築出深不可測的抽象色塊，也使他的作品在富有深度的同時又被賦予了神秘的色彩。
馬克Marck（瑞士，b.1946)
作品展現社會各階層的人在熟悉與陌生環境中的生理及心理狀態，和對時間及空間的認同。在各處層層疊疊的限制之下，當代的人們遊走在生存的邊界，並做出身體的回應。馬克將這些問題藉由錄像雕塑(Video sculpture)拋向觀眾，喚起共鳴與想像。
帕斯卡爾・多比斯 Pascal Dombis (法國，b.1965)
一位研究語言、算法等領域的視覺藝術家。他所創造的動態視覺環境和藝術作品，以它們技術過程的繁雜操作、重複性和不可預測性而著名。多比斯將 AI 等技術應用於繪畫中，展開一場繪畫與科技的討論，並展現科技所帶來的藝術之美。
彼得・克勞斯科夫 Peter Krauskopf (德國，b.1966)
創作以抽象繪畫為主。他在創作時先將流體顏料進行反复塗抹，再用刮刀把顏料刮除，使整個畫面形成層層疊疊的效果。克勞斯科夫對這種“反复繪畫的過程” (process of overpainting)相當感興趣，他認為這是“對時間的反復書寫”(overwriting of time)，在抹去過去回憶後，再塗上一層新的歷史與記憶。
西瑞・菲茲 Thierry Feuz (瑞士，b.1968)
從生命經驗及自然風景中取材，將具體之物放入虛實之間，並巧妙地跨越文化及抽象的界線，用藝術的方式記錄生命的美好瞬間。作家 Oliver Orest Tschirky 如此評價西瑞·菲茲的畫作:“ 不僅可以看到色彩、形式、層次以及主題中那明亮、閃耀、且歡樂的情緒交織，也能感受深刻且令人回味的意義。”
斯芬・杜爾 Sven Drühl (德國，b.1968)
對於藝術史相當著迷，風景一直是他創作的重要主題。他運用顛覆 傳統繪畫的手法，利用非傳統的材料如矽氧樹酯、油彩、漆料等不同化學組成的顏料，描繪山景、 樹木、火山等多樣的自然景觀。
卡蘿・普魯莎 Carol Prusa (美國，b. 1956)
以銀針筆創作大型裝置著稱。經由銀針筆的精密與洗煉灰階獨樹一格的創作方式，探討宇宙生命的起源。受到文藝復興圓頂教堂繪畫的啟發，普魯莎開始埋首銀針筆繪畫研究，以機械紋理低調洗練的灰階，展現自成一格的創作風格。早期以半弧形體，後逐漸展現 360 度球體功力，近期轉向平面畫作以及大型裝置，跳脫以往球體裝置，開創新平面風格，卻仍為觀者營造無限的視覺感。普魯莎融合了她對宇宙、自然科學，以及浩瀚宇宙間神秘「未知」的著迷，將古老的銀針筆技法，結合雕刻樹脂、玻璃纖維、金屬箔甚至是LED 燈等當代媒材，使我們得以去想像宇宙初始的渾沌、融合以及萬物間的神秘力量。
克里斯蒂安・格琳 Christiane Grimm (德國，b. 1957)
創作被描述為“不插電的動態光影”。多年來，她致力於研究光線、色彩、空間，與特殊玻璃、壓克力等材質的有機結合，並系統地、精確地處理層次與感知色彩。格琳擅長以光作畫，物理光線影響著作品的具體成像，光線變化與不同的觀看位置使作品顯現出不同的立體層次效果。
Angela Glajcar (Germany, b.1970)
曾接受知名英國雕塑家 Tim Scott 的指導，早期以鋼鐵、 木質或玻璃纖維等材料進行創作，近年來則專注於使用紙張作為雕塑的獨有材料。她跳脫出紙張細膩柔軟的傳統觀念，使用特殊紙打造出筆直銳利的邊緣，呈現幾何塊面及延伸性畫面，也讓原有空 間創造出新的想像。紙作為材料，吸收了周圍環境的光與色，因溫濕度產生捲曲，擁有一種暫時性 的變化，與空間有機地結合在一起，綻放它獨有的姿態。
楊・克拉 Jan Kaláb (捷克，b.1978)
持續走在一條非傳統的藝術之路，其幾何塗鴉壁畫可見於紐約、布拉格、倫敦、波哥大等城市。他以點出發，發展幾何圓形形變， 以及 3D 塗鴉立體雕塑，從街頭到畫布，塗鴉的概念走入極簡純白的藝廊空間，擦出迷幻的火花。克拉擁有抽象藝術與街頭創作的雙重語彙，創造出充滿能量的抽像作品。
珍娜・華生 Janna Waton (加拿大，b. 1983)
以抽象繪畫作為逃避及回歸現實的方式，當她將我們所認知的世界非物質化為筆觸，她的繪畫也以鮮明的構圖與色彩喚起觀者的情感。受到古典構圖及現代主義幾何的影響，她的作品優雅卻充滿力量，以離散卻又無法分割的色塊組合成束的色彩。
拉米羅・史密斯・埃斯特拉達 Ramiro Smith Estrada (阿根廷，b.1984)
九歲即立志成為藝術家，他成長於社群網絡興起的世代，面對社交媒體，不僅重新形塑了人類對於文化的思考方式，某種程度也成為企業行使策略的平台，利用拍照並標記地理位置的圖像，游擊式的廣告轉化成金錢，不論是品牌或個人，皆尋求無時不在的關注與成名的渴望。埃斯特拉達Estrada 的創作圍繞著「當代我們如何看待自己?描繪自己?」的角度出發，在大量數位影像流竄的社交日常，編織的一個「我是誰?」的幻夢，包含時尚、流行在社交媒體上衍生的各種行為，他以繪畫展現「世俗性」以及在文化社交壓力下的衝突，利用街頭、刺青等裝飾性符號妝點畫面，反諷著世人在社交行為的庸俗。
提姆・弗萊瓦德 Tim Freiwald (德國，b.1986)
作品在經歷“破壞、分解、重構”的過程後，展現出多層次 的空間。在創作中，他對於毀壞的過程“是否仍為美麗的事物”以及“藝術是什麼”等問題，不斷地進行著辯證。弗萊瓦德以火熔、切割鋸的手法形成碎片、斷裂線條和脆弱的結構體，強烈的色彩 顯現其破壞性的美學風格。藝術家的靈感源自「時間」以及歷史生命片段，殘破的歷史外觀磚瓦建築、及歷史印記，都深深地影響著在東德成長的弗萊瓦德。作品中可見層層疊疊的材料相互連接，呼應著彼此。
威利・希伯 Willi Siber（德國，b.1949）
擅長利用木頭、鋼與環氧樹脂探索物質的可塑性，令他感興趣的並非只有材質外表的美感，更多的是突破媒材的限制所進行的無盡的探索、驗證與推翻既定認知的過程。他作品所呈現出的色彩的玩味更突出其簡練的風格。創作不僅承襲巴洛克藝術的流動性、戲劇性和華麗的視覺效果，並帶入當代的視角。創作始於繪畫和石頭雕塑，1980 年後漸以木質材料為軸心探討形變，這也是他將實驗精神帶入創作的重要分野，作品成為記錄質地、形體和感知交互影響的載體，如透過淺白基調和刨出弧度的邊角處理，粉飾木頭的粗曠生硬，轉化為觀者眼前的柔軟的意象。
雷諾・奧德霍恩Reinoud Oudshoorn(荷蘭，b.1953)
專注於透視法與空間的探索以及“視覺的模擬兩可性”，將滅點(Vanishing Point)的視覺高度統一設在1.65 米，繁複精準且大膽地創造視覺空間無限反射延伸的“絕對過程” 。奧德霍恩主張“雕塑應創造比作品本身更大的空間”，以“滅點”作為每件作品的開端，由線延展成面，再由面創造詩意的想像空間。
強納森・保羅 Desire Obtain Cherish (美國，b.1975)
創作綜合了街頭藝術、波普藝術與挪用藝術的手法，並融入幽默諷刺性的商業符號，試圖喚起公眾對社會議題的關注。其棒棒糖及藥丸系列作品是對過度消費及名牌崇拜等現象進行的深入討論，以黑色幽默的方式挑戰觀看者的價值觀。他的作品常使用巨大現成物或放大扭曲的物體裝置，以直接有力的方式傳達深刻的創作觀念。
坦佳・羅切邁爾 Tanja Rochelmeyer (德國，b.1975)
創作始於黑白抽象、以及建築性與地景式的繪畫作品。基於對空間感的好奇，羅切邁爾嘗試將平面的繪畫轉化為浮雕或立體的雕塑裝置。他將繪畫中的透視與空間交錯感進行旋轉和壓縮，並以一片片獨立的壓克力玻璃拼貼成雕塑。在二維畫面上壓縮、拉伸和大膽的方向變動區塊，熱熔為一片片柔軟、具流線型的彩色透明壓克力。當色彩的元素加入，也加入了空間的錯視感。她的浮雕系列作品如同將畫作某處的特定細節進行交錯、疊加、放大後形成的全新作品。

Works
Artist
Nick Veasey
(UK, b. 1962)
Internationally renowned X-ray artist Nick Veasey reveals the hidden facets beneath the surface using his unique X-ray penetration technique. His work humorously and mischievously explores the essence of people and objects' inner nature. Nick Veasey uses x-ray to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface. The technique reveals what, and often how, things are made, which grants his art to penetrate the surface and take us on a journey into a world otherwise hidden and unseen. Veasey has an extensive exhibition experience worldwide, with his artwork featured on the cover of TIME magazine and invited to give a TED talk. In 2018, he held a large-scale exhibition at the renowned Fotografiska museum in Sweden, visited by The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Crown Princess of Sweden. He also photographed important antique costumes for the Victoria and Albert Museum and collaborated with various brands such as Louis Vuitton, United Airlines, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen. Works collected by the Victoria and Albert Museum, National Science and Media Museum in the UK, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Museum at FIT in the USA, the BMW Museum in Germany and the Museum of Applied Arts and Design (MUDAC) in Switzerland.

Ruprecht von Kaufmann 魯普雷希特．馮．考夫曼
(Germany , b. 1974)
Ruprecht von Kaufmann 魯普雷希特．馮．考夫曼 (德，b. 1974) 出生於德國慕尼黑，BFA洛杉磯藝術中心設計學院畢，曾任教柏林藝術大學、漢堡應用科學大學和萊比錫美術學院，現居住創作於柏林。作為一位突出的圖像敘事藝術創作者，他選擇研究圍繞著人的各種層面，利用當代繪畫的視覺語言，展現批判敘事與平行現實幻境。於歐洲各大城市倫敦、柏林、斯圖加特、奧斯陸、紐約展出；作品獲紐約知名收藏家族(Hort Family)、德國 Sammlung Philara 博物館、德國法蘭克福德意志聯邦共和國國家銀行等，眾多公私立機構永久收藏。
Susanne Kühn
(Germany, b. 1969)
Susanne Kühn holds a Master's degree in Painting and Printmaking from the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts, currently lives and works in Freiburg and Nuremberg, Germany. She was awarded a scholarship from the Harvard University Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies. Central to Kühn's practice is her highly animated and vivid execution of a precise level of craftsmanship through which she interweaves various painterly vernaculars and styles. Via this aesthetic approach, she engages with the history of painting from a female perspective, as well as exploring everyday life and futuristic narratives in her current work. Kühn's work has been showcased in solo exhibitions at various renowned venues, including the Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna, the OMI International Arts Center in Ghent, New York, Haunch of Venison in London, UK, Sala Uno Contemporary Arts Centre in Rome, the Harvard Radcliffe Institute in Cambridge, USA, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, USA, the Museum für Neue Kunst in Freiburg, etc. Her work is represented in collections worldwide including viz. the Busch-Reisinger Museum Collection / Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA, USA, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Knoxville Museum of Art, the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, FRAC Alsace, France, Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden Germany.. etc.
Dirk Salz
(Germany, b. 1962)
Dirk Salz lives and works in Cologne. He was born 1962 in Bochum, Germany, to an artistic family. Through his childhood and high school, he grew up painting, drawing, and studying art history. Salz’ artistic work deals in different manners with human perception or rather with the insufficiency of our mind that shapes this perception. His work can be found in a number of private collections, as well as prominent corporate collections, such as the Akzo Nobel Art Foundation.
Marck
(Switzerland, b. 1964)
nternationally renowned X-ray artist Nick Veasey reveals the hidden facets beneath the surface using his unique X-ray penetration technique. His work humorously and mischievously explores the essence of people and objects' inner nature. Nick Veasey uses x-ray to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface.

Marck 的作品看似以女性為主體，實際上則是以其作為社會縮影的代表，與框架的沖撞更探討著有形與無形的束縛，喚起觀者心中的共鳴。作品無法被單純定義為錄像與雕塑的結合，更像虛實的壹體呈現，由出演的排序、影片拍攝的精確定位，「錄像的目的不是敘述壹個故事，而是激發觀眾的情緒」，滲入我們習以為常的生活，以動態的畫面觸撥我們觀看雕塑的思維，同時也築起多媒體素材，至動力機械和雕塑的手工制作。錄像雕塑以全新的形式，揉合影像的平面表述與雕塑的空間意義，不僅辟出錄像創作的新道路，也再擴張觀者的感官體驗。
Pascal Dombis
(Frence, b. 1965)
Graduated from Tufts University computer art and Insa University in Lyon, France. Digital artist Pascal Dombis currently lives and works in Paris. His focus involves the exploration of language, noise, control, and irrationality. Dombis has been using computers and algorithms to generate and elaborate repetitions of simple processes, which computationally reproduce geometric or typographical signs. Started as a painter, Dombis notes that his encounter with William Burroughs’s art was a key moment for his new investigations into digital art. Dombis uses optical materials such as lenticular plates to revisit the way viewers look at things, and to question the very nature of images in the broad sense of the word. By using lenticular, allows him to play with the viewer’s gaze. The incessant circulation of images has made the way of looking at things more dynamic. Moreover, the lenticular material questions this new reading paradigm and brings about a physical and time-related experience. Over the years he created monumental public works for the City of Perth, Australia, the Ministry of Culture in France, and an 8 meter long outdoor sculpture installation along the River bank in Shanghai, China. His art exhibited around the world including Musée en Herbe in France, Museum Kunstpalast in Denmark, Velchev Art Museum in Bulgaria, and the University of Georgia in the USA.
Peter Krauskopf
(Germany, b. 1966)
Peter Krauskopf studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in his birth town Leipzig and later continued as a post-graduate under Arno Rink. Known for his break with the figurative tradition of Leipzig painting, Peter Krauskopf especially interested in the process of overpainting, which he understands as an overwriting of time. All of his pieces – the intensive colored smaller plates, as well as the big monochrome color gradients, seem to be abstract at first sight, but they are all ‘concretions of a period of time’. On homogeneous, smooth grounds which either consist of an old, former abandoned painting or a monochrome under painting, Krauskopf performs one single intervention to form a new picture. In 2015 he received the Falkenrot Prize. His paintings were widely exhibited including the Mies van der Rohe-Haus, Berlin, the Forum Kunst Rottweil, the Kunsthalle Lingen and Kunsthaus Kaufbeuren, works presented in the collection of the Albertinum in Dresden, the Ludwig Forum in Aachen, the City Museum of Wrocław, the Kunstverein Ludwigshafen, the Museum Schloss Morsbroich in Leverkusen, Kupferstichkabinett and the Galerie Neue Meister in Dresden, Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg.
Thierry Feuz
(Switzerland, b. 1968)
Graduated from Geneva University of Art and Design (Haute École d'Art et de Design), Feuz currently lives and works in Geneva. In his artistic realm, art, science, and philosophy converge as he explores the universal meaning of "existence" and presents unseen realms through his unique painting techniques. Thierry Feuz's works have been collected by significant institutions and museums, including Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Neuchâtel, Singapore Art Foundation, UBS Bank, Saks Fifth Avenue in the United States, as well as the Breeze Crop. and E.Sun Commercial Bank, among other corporate collections.
Sven Drühl
(Germany, b. 1968)
Sven Drühl currently lives and works in Berlin. He studied both in art and mathematics. With a PhD in art theory, he is also an author and editor of publications on contemporary art. Conceptually, Sven Drühl dissects visual shapes and types taken from every era from Romanticism to the present day, re-mounting them and combining them with his own motifs. Drühl reacts to the crisis of expression in post-modern painting with these transformed citations, but has purposefully not ceased to paint. His exploration of art history and his continual questioning of painting as a medium are at the heart of his oeuvre. He became known through his compilations of famous landscape paintings and had been exhibited throughout Europe, Asia and the United States including the St. Matthäuskirche, Berlin, Museum Villa-Rot, Neue Galerie Gladbeck, National Museum of Art of Romania, Bucharest, Kallman-Museum, Ismaning, Museum Haus am Waldsee, Berlin, ZKM | Museum für Neue Kunst, Karlsruhe. His work is in collection of Berlinische Galerie -Museum für moderne Kunst, Berlin, Allianz Forum, Deutsche Bank, E.ON Art Collection, Düsseldorf, Collection Philara, Düsseldorf.
Carol Prusa
(USA, b. 1956)
Carol Prusa holds a Master of Fine Arts from Drake University, where she specialized in painting. She is known for her meticulous silverpoint technique, an ancient and refined grayscale technique with the silver stylus, and the use of unexpected materials from sculpted resin and fiberglass to metal leaf and LED large-scale installations. Through this precise and sophisticated method, she explores the astronomic origin of life as well as the philosophy of cosmology in her silverpoint work. Carol Prusa received a SECAC Artistic Achievement Award in 2017 and awarded for 2020 Manifest Prize. Her works have been highly regarded in historical books on Silverpoint feature. Prusa participated in 2015-2016 Miami Biennale and had exhibited in many museums and important institutions including the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Boca Raton Museum, Louisiana Museum of Art and Science, etc. Her work included in excellent public and private collections, including the Perez Museum of Art, The Museum of Arts and Design (NYC), Telfair Art Museum (Savannah), Spencer Museum of Art, and the Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz Collection.
Christiane Grimm
(Germany, b. 1957)
克里斯蒂安.格琳 Christiane Grimm (German, b. 1957) 畢業於斯圖加特大學Universität Stuttgart建築所。她的創作被稱為「不插電的動態光影」。多年來她持續實驗研究光線、色彩、空間，與特殊玻璃、壓克力等材質的特性結合，有系統地、精確地、處理分層感知色彩，讓物理光線影響著圖像的具體性，作品隨著光線變化、觀看位置不同，顯示立體漸層以光作畫。作品於德國 Museum Ritter、Wilhelm Hack Museum 展出並獲頒 The public’s choice award 獎項。獲德國海德堡市政府、德意志銀行，以及眾多私人美術館Das Kleine Museum、 Kunsthalle Würth、私人機構PwC資誠聯合會計事務所…等永久收藏。
Angela Glajcar
(Germany, b.1970)
Born in Mainz, Germany, Angela Glajcar studied sculpture at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nuremberg from 1991 to 1998. Glajcar's work embodies sculpture and installation, it examines the way in which space is experienced using a material that is fragile and light. In the act of ripping and perforating a material that is traditionally used as a two-dimensional support, Glajcar gives paper a strong sculptural presence. Terforation is the title of Angela Glajcar's famous cubic pieces. The staggered arrangement of the vertically hung series of sheets of white paper, with torn edges, produces cave-like recessions. These extend into the depth of the sculpture. The sharp ridges and deep caverns gives viewer a fascinating room of harmony and silence. Glajcar has exhibited extensively and been the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including Studio Award of the Kunststiftung Erich Hauser, the Asterstein scholarship in 1999 and Vordemberge Gildewart Award in 2004. Glajcar's works have been showcased in various prominent public art exhibitions, including Cologne Cathedral, the Frankfurt Department of Culture, the Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Mainz Gutenberg Museum. Permanent collections of Glajcar's works can be found at the Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art in the United States, the Wiesbaden Museum in Germany, the Mainz Arts and Sciences Center in Germany, and the Hanten Schmidt collection in Austria.
Jan Kaláb
(Czech Republic, b.1978)
Jan Kaláb graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, Czech Republic, and currently lives and works in Prague. As a pioneer of Czech graffiti art, Jan Kaláb has been constantly forging a path as a non- traditional artist. He transitioned from street graffiti into pure white spaces, starting with points and developing them into circular transformations and 3D sculptures, condensing the exuberance of the outdoors onto geometrically distorted canvases. He represented the Czech Republic at the Shanghai World Expo in the Czech Pavilion and his works are held in collections at The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML), National Art Museum of Brazil, Deji Art Museum in China, Daejeon Museum of Art in South Korea, and cooperate with numerous international luxury brands including Dior and Tiffany.
Janna Watson
(Canada, b. 1983)
Janna Watson（Canada, b. 1983）uses abstraction as both an escape from and return to the real. As the world we know dematerializes into paint strokes, so too does her paint take stage as its very own character in a multi-act drama of composition. Bundles of colour, made up of discrete yet inseparable instances of pigment—what Watson refers to as “moments”—are teeming and poised as though caught mid-multiplication. Sweeps of paint re-direct sharply and fold over themselves; thin, rigid ink lines cut into the pictorial field as rudimentary elements in an increasingly complex system of painterly language. All the components play out on a surface of slow, chromatic gradation. Like many of Watson’s players, these backdrops tenderly gesture toward the familiar, stopping just short of representation. The result is a conceptual project (and distinct, stylistic signature) that speaks to a contemporary milieu in which abstract painting is not the retreat of meaning into an unrecognizable realm, but rather the emergence of medium as a “figure” in its own self-inscribed world of feeling and being. Watson does more than reveal paint’s potential to emote—she gives it a space to reveal itself, in its own time.
Ramiro Smith Estrada 拉米羅． 史密斯．埃斯特拉達
(Argentina, b.1984)
阿根廷社會博物館德爾大學藝術學士，目前在阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯生活創作。專注於人物油畫創作，運用鮮豔色彩及清晰的輪廓線條，概念圍繞的元素包括網路社群的社會、政治、身份…議題，以一種華麗、街頭、刺青、圖騰、壁紙式的「憤青美學」方式呈現，探討在文化社交壓力下的衝突。多次入選阿根廷國家藝術展，2012年獲得威廉姆斯獎(Williams Award)，並於阿根廷舉辦個展、參與國際駐地計畫，包括美國丹佛RedLine當代藝術中心駐地計劃、阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯 Panal 駐地計劃、比利時布魯塞爾La Vallee駐村藝術家。作品由眾多私人藏家收藏。
Tim Freiwald
(Germany, b.1986)
Graduated from the Fine Arts at the Munich Art Academy, Tim Freiwald now work and live in Berlin. Tim Freiwald's creative process involves "destruction, decomposition, and reconstruction" generating negative spaces in his works, constantly exploring the questions of whether "destruction can still be beautiful" and "what is art." Fragments, fractured lines, and delicate structures, all portrayed through intense colors, define his aesthetic style of destructiveness.

Tanja Rochelmeyer
(Germany, b. 1975）
Tanja Rochelmeyer graduated from the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and currently lives in Berlin, Germany. Many of her creations draw inspiration from her engineering background, emphasizing attention to detail and mathematical precision. However, calculations are not the medium of creation but an intermediate step in the creative process. Her training as an engineer has contributed to a perfectionist approach to technology, creating a sharp contrast with the moments of image creation. Ultimately, she positions herself and the subject of her creation within this contrast. "Constructivism and futurism meet the latest architecture and merge into a new language of modern painting." Tanja Rochelmeyer creates maze-like, dispersed spatial configurations, introducing multiple perspectives into the concept of imagery.
