奧拉貝里亞Olaberria以非印象派、非敘事和非還原的方式進行創作，他的實踐是關於形式、構圖、節奏和平衡，以此探索思想的未知領域。藝術家站在空白畫布前沒有計劃，而是全然享受創作時刻。他將創作的過程比擬成一次次未經計劃的冒險，建構抽象的作品就像是沿途探索之間，帶有些許緊張、衝動地沿路留下記號般，直到以藝術家個人視覺邏輯與創作語彙達到美感上的平衡。他所使用的媒材多元，包括鉛筆、壓克力顏料、泥土、炭筆等，透過抽象作品呈現不完整、不確定的一面，並且開放觀者各自詮釋，邀請觀者藉由自身的過去經歷填補與畫作之間的空白，而奧拉貝里亞Olaberria 作為一位藝術家，則是以作品提供了時間和空間的親密時刻。
Artist
Beñat Olaberria
(Spain, b.1970)
With a master's degree from the London City Art Institute, Beñat Olaberria currently creates and resides in London. His work, created in a non-impressionistic, non-narrative, and non-reductive manner, explores the unknown realms of form, composition, rhythm, and balance. Olaberria likens his creative process to a "walk," an adventurous journey where the final destination is uncertain. His pencil lines and heavy acrylic pigments present an incomplete and uncertain aspect through abstract compositions. Olaberria opposes predefined visual interpretations of his work, leaving gaps for viewers to interpret based on their experiences, creating multiple ways of understanding. The diverse materials he employs, including pencil, acrylic paint, clay, and charcoal, contribute to the layered and open-ended nature of his works. The exhibition will showcase Olaberria's latest works from 2023, inviting viewers to perceive and fill the gaps between their past experiences and the artwork.
