即便科技與技術再進步,沈浸式呈現與 AI 生成再先進,面對視覺藝術,不可否
認地,絕大多數的我們仍習慣以肉眼,或肉眼搭配設備為觀看的主要途徑。
「看」(see)成為我們認識或了解周遭環境與事物的重要方法,一如英文口語裡
“I see”意謂「我知道了」、「原來如此」。

藝術家們往往帶著一種天命般的內在直覺,或者一如冰島人所說的「命定熱
情」,這促使他們運用這份內觀能量,透過不同形式或媒材,去展示他們眼中
所見的自我與世界,一如電影「阿凡達」中那六足孔雀鹿,在潘多拉星球的雨
林、稀樹草原、凍土荒原和山區憑藉著敏銳的感應能力及與生俱來的直覺反應,
行進且嬉戲,同時還得因應各種攸關生存的未知危險。

這樣行之有年的創作行為與生涯積累,或許已可被定義成一種由毅力與決心打
造而成的「藝術」。藝術家的創作源於自我生活經驗,生活裡某些儀式性行為
亦成為藝術萌生的契機,甚至於形成暴風雨般的藝術運動,想想盛行於十七、
十八世紀歐洲的沙龍,雖是以貴族為主,卻為藝術家與文人學者們提供一個發
表與交流的場合,對於歐洲文化、藝術、思想發展扮演了功不可没的推手角色。

二十世紀後除了沙龍,藝術家們也會在個人工作室等不同場域中交流互動,時
空再向前推前些,70 年代紐約 Studio 54 集時尚潮流與當代藝術於一地,如今
藝術家們或許不再群聚於藝文沙龍,更多時候咖啡廳、小吃店、乃至社交媒體
的訊息...,那屬於同等生物之間所渴望的交流與對話始終不曾停止,談論的亦
無不是藝術、文化、創作,及那些能引發創作的事件、人物,乃至八卦與醜聞。

在每一次的見面或對話間,彼此也看見了存在於藝術家思緒與能量中的藝術與
作品。因之,I see you,我看見你,看見藝術。

本次展出的十二位藝術家皆在創作道路上執著前行多年,各自有其創作之信念
與聚焦點,所採用的媒材與形式跨越平面繪畫、立體物件、陶瓷及混合媒材,
透過兩兩一組,除展出個別創作者的作品,亦進行合作創作一件作品,試圖在
對望與共創之間,更深刻地呈現藝術家在自我創作與群我意識之間的探究、拉
扯、對抗,亦或始料未及的質變與化合作用。

As technology and technique advance further, and immersive presentation and AI
generation become more sophisticated, when it comes to visual art, it is undeniable that
most of us are still accustomed to viewing it with our own eyes, or our eyes with other
devices. "See" has become an important way for us to know or understand the
surroundings and things, just like "I see" as a spoken expression in English refers to "I
understand" or "That's how it is."

Artists often have an inner intuition of destiny, or as the Icelanders call it, "passion for
destiny", which prompts them to apply this inner energy to express what they see

through different forms or media. It is just like the six-legged hexapede in the movie
"Avatar", traveling and playing in the rainforests, savannas, tundra wastelands and
mountains of the planet Pandora with their keen sense abilities and innate intuitive
reactions. They have fun and yet need to deal with various unknown dangers that are
crucial to survival.

This long-standing creative behavior and career may be defined as a kind of "art"
created by perseverance and determination. The artist's creations originate from
his/her/their own life experiences. Certain ritual behaviors in life also become
opportunities for the emergence of art, and even form a storm-like art movement. Think
of the salons that were popular in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although they
mainly serve for upper class, they provided artists, literati, and scholars with an
opportunity to publish and communicate. It has played an indispensable role in
promoting the development of European culture, art, and philosophy.
After the 20th century, in addition to salons, artists also communicated and interacted
in different venues such as personal studios. In the 1970s, Studio 54 in New York
blended fashion trends and contemporary art. Nowadays, artists may no longer
gathering in art salons, but more often in coffee shops, snack bars, and even social
media messages... The exchanges and conversations longed for them have never
stopped, and the discussions are all about art, culture, creation, and even gossip and
scandal that can trigger creation.
In every meet-up or conversation, each other also saw the art and works that existed in
the artist's thoughts and energy. Therefore, I see you, I see the ART.
The twelve artists on view in this exhibition have all been persistently pursuing their
career of creations for many years. Each has his/her/their own creative beliefs and focus.
The media and forms used span two-dimensional paintings, three-dimensional objects,
ceramics, and mixed media. In groups of two, in addition to exhibiting the works of
individual creators, they also collaborate to create a piece of artwork. By doing so, the

exhibition intends to have a profound presentation on artist's exploration between self-
creation and collective consciousness. It might be confrontation, co-creation., or

unexpected transmutations and chemical reactions.
