Exhibiting Artists

Alfonso Cuñado Rodríguez (Spain)

Collectors in Taiwan are fond of my works with great and warm responses. After I returned from A.R.T. last year, I couldn’t help but thinking about the warm hospitality I received in Taiwan, as well as the happenings and exhibition in Taipei. I did feel like to rent a studio in Taipei and to live in Taiwan. I really appreciate the organization and arrangements from A.R.T. with very diligent staff. I like Taiwan very much. People in Taiwan are polite and friendly. I’m happy to interact with collectors and viewers as well.

Cathy Pitts (U.S.A.)

This year is my third time to participate the A.R.T., the theme of my paintings is the diamond as usual, but integrating with different background. Through reflection of light, every facet would reflect differently the surrounding and colors, just like creating dreams. Light brings hopes for people, and I wish to convey the happy and positive energies to viewers via canvas. A.R.T. is just great, and I’m honored to represent the exhibition on behalf of U.S.A., to exchange with artists from different countries. Moreover, I met a great number of viewers, which enhanced me to understand more about people, artists, culture and market preference in Taiwan. Staff is so kind to artists, as warm as families, which made me feel at home and happy.

Richard Young(U.K.)

The criteria set by A.R.T. are high, and it’s even higher this year, which is very important. It’s amazing to witness the crowd converging for the VIP Preview. In general, A.R.T. has made progress this year, compared to last year.

Kirk Bauer(U.S.A.)

All I think of A.R.T. is positive and beautiful, 110% perfect! During the process from registration, correspondences, check-in to exhibition, every detail is perfect. All I want to is “Thank you!”

Maciej Cador(Poland)

The particular feature about A.R.T. is the interaction between artists and viewers. One buys a painting because s/he likes it, which is totally different from those who invest in paintings for re-sale. The friendship derived from paintings is very important to artists. This is the most valuable characteristic to be carried on.

Gonzalo Anton(Argentine)

This is my first time to exhibit in Asia. According to my experience in this exhibition, supports from the organizer to artists, efforts in promotion, and concerns about every artist’s sales, all in all was excellent. Another special thing which didn’t happen to my previous exhibitions in U.S.A. or Europe was the chance to express my concerns to directors. It’s very important.

Chathuranga Biyagama(Sri Lanka)

The Art Revolution Taipei is an excellent, well-organized event! SUPER! I hope next time I can have bigger booth to exhibit more paintings. It’s not easy to travel such a long way to come to Taiwan from Sri Lanka. A rare opportunity for me indeed, everything here is beyond my imagination, also including learning something different as well to get inspirations from exchanges. People in Taiwan are really friendly.

JENI BEV(Russia)

It’s my first time to exhibit in Taiwan with my boyfriend and manager Nick Vintskevich, also our first trip to Asia and Taipei. There are beautiful skyscrapers, but something more beautiful is local people’s kindness and friendliness. To exhibit at A.R.T. is one of the best experiences I even have. Not just at the venue, there are contemporary sculptures and artworks on streets. It shows the degree people care and admire arts. It’s very motivating as well as inspiring for me to be granted the honor of Prize Gold last year for the Juried Competition. People in Taiwan support me with compliments on my paintings, which would become the drive for my further creations. Art Revolution Taipei is such a well-organized art show with world class. Appreciate Art Director, juries, staff and friends in Taiwan to support me. I enjoyed this exhibition very much, and felt at home too.

Watanabe Hiroshi (Japan)

I felt so reluctant leave Taiwan after 5 days’ exhibition, which was just too short.

Sanzi (Mainland China)

It’s my first time to visit Taiwan and the exhibition of A.R.T. I think the service was quite good. My paintings focus on expressing Laozi’s Taoism, and relationship between human and nature. It takes me one month to one year to finish a painting, which is inspired mostly from the daily life.

Chen Jun (Mainland China)

A.R.T. is well-organized to have every detail in place, which is superior to art shows in China.

Zhang Yuying (Mainland China)

Upon entering the venue, I immediately felt that A.R.T. was getting better and better with more detailed process in place. Exhibiting artists came from more different countries with much better quality in overall. The great number of visitors indicated the success of A.R.T. to be so attractive. The organizer has offered tremendous supports to artists, which makes me feel respected and pampered. I’m very touched with great appreciation. Artists can upgrade themselves by exchanging and learning from others by participating in A.R.T..

Zhang Shiying (Mainland China)

The planning of A.R.T. is much better than that of last year, with spacious routes and more exquisite artworks. In particular, the neoclassic supercar from Prof. Lee Sun-Don and DeMora is just magnificent. The combination of Prof. Lee’s painting with the car is particularly amazing. It’s exactly the right place for that stunning painting on that very car, which makes it brightened.

Wang Dazhi (Mainland China)

It’s my first time to participate A.R.T., which is incredible. The organizer respects artists greatly. So many artists exhibit outstanding artworks in diversified styles and media, I has learned something from others. When I talked to viewers, it’s pleasant to know that people understand my artistic philosophy. By the end, arts should be understandable, not just self-appreciation. The planning from the organizer was excellent with different features for each section. The venue was clean. The idea for Hundred of Celebrities was great too, since arts should be part of the daily life, not just something untouchable; it’s good to interact with people and becomes closer.

Li Baiming (Mainland China)

Taiwan is an important place for the Asian art market. It’s my first year to participate A.R.T., which I heard about A.R.T. last year. There’s well-arranged promotion in place, especially the ink painting section. New styles are formed from the innovative concepts combined with conventional techniques. Recently the ink paintings are popular in the market. It’s great that A.R.T. has sensed and approached the market trend.

Miao Chongan (Mainland China)

The planning for A.R.T. was great with artworks from different countries, which indicated a wide vision of A.R.T..

Lu Tsung-Tsan (Taiwan)

To respected partners from A.R.T.,

Art Revolution Taipei keeps on creating the history page by page. I’m grateful to all dedicated and diligent Directors and volunteers for the detailed planning, arrangements, and publicity, so every exhibiting artist can display his/her work at this international stage smoothly, and Taiwan can seen from our efforts and dedications in arts.

Director Lee’s supercar is such a awesome role model for all junior artists. According to him, “we don’t do what people did.” This concept is also my principle in quest of arts: the art is not something by following others’ footsteps, but to discover and respect every individual, then help each of them to glow themselves. Artists build bridges leading to happiness.

Deeply appreciate everyone who has involved in this grand festival. Go for it, and be happy for it.

Let’s enjoy art, enjoy happiness next year!

Wei Jui-Tsung (Taiwan)

I’m so grateful that A.R.T. offered me a nice platform. There were so many people visiting A.R.T. and savoring paintings. Some viewers shared with me their feelings about my paintings, and I was so excited with those who really understood my inner world. I was too excited too excited to sleep at the night of VIP Preview, even staying up until 2:00 AM.

Yang Chih-Ying (Taiwan)

The organizer of A.R.T. was dedicated, and staff very kind, which made me feel warm at heart. The ink painting was not the mainstream in the market for my previous exhibitions. I felt grateful that A.R.T. planned a special section for ink paintings, which granted me the opportunity to introduce my works to the public. Hope I can take part in the exhibition next year.

Carrying on the theme in “Walk of Life” from last year, I add the plum blossom as another to my works. To depict the state of mind in Chinese ink paintings via western oil paints is possible to have a broader expression.

Ku Ya-Ren(Taiwan)

The process of stroke by stroke is like a practicing Buddhist transcribing the Heart sutra. Artworks are bridges for spiritual communication among people.

The theme for my work is with two cups in blue and white porcelain, in which the Chinese pronunciation is the same as “compassion”. There’s a heart at the cross-section between two cups, responsive to the purpose of charity sale.

Miao Chongan, Artist

This is the smallest painting I ever did, titled “Sacred Temple at Holy Mountains”. I depict the landscape I saw in Bhutan two years with the style of Chinese painting. I’m pleased to participate in the charity sale of Hundreds of Celebrities.

Placing Artists at the Center Stage, Building A.R.T. as Asia’s Indexical Art Fair

Art is not just culture but also education, and therefore, it must not be confined to the quest for mere commercial gain. To return art to its essential character and let the artist stand directly before the world, the Art Revolution Taipei (A.R.T.), an international art fair based in Taipei, will be curated around dual axes: to place artists at the center stage and to design the entire art fair as a colossal work of art. It aims to establish itself as an indexical art fair of Asia. In its premiere in 2011, it made a record with 89.66% of the participating artists reporting having sales during the fair, a performance close to world’s top art fairs such as the Art Basel. For the 2nd A.R.T., the rate climbed to 91.18%. The 3rd A.R.T. drew even more collectors to visit; and some artists sold out all their exhibiting works right at the VIP Preview. The A.R.T. has established its “absolute brand name,” becoming one of Asia’s most characteristic art fair.

“Impressionist‧Contemporary” -- Creating a New Impression of contemporary Art

To challenge the artist’s creativity and to diversify the A.R.T. exhibition style, the art fair will center around a certain theme every year. For 2014, the annual theme is “Impressionist‧Contemporary.” The Art Director of A.R.T. Lee Sun-Don requests the participating artists to express the aura of impressionism using contemporary concepts, or to interpret their impressions of the contemporary in virtue of impressionism. Very challenging and yet highly anticipated. In line with the top artists of the world, the A.R.T. is creating a new impression of contemporary art.

With 280 artists from 48 nations to Participate – An Art Fair with Multicultural Flair

The A.R.T. has a very rigorous set of standards to select only the best artworks for exhibition. In addition, to refresh its visitors’ visual experiences, it sets a 60% replacement rate, namely 60% of the exhibiting artists being the new participants. For this year, there will be 280 artists from 48 countries to exhibit in total of 2000 pieces of artwork. Their participation brings multicultural flare to shine the art fair and shed light on the contemporary art. This shall be a marvelous art feast.

Ten Exhibition Sections

Curatorial Classics

Substantiating the ideal of exhibiting the artworks with potential to become “future classics,” the section of “Curatorial Classics” is comprised of works best presenting the annual thematic spirit, the Special Collection, and the units specially curated by Art Director Lee Sun-Don.

With “Impressionist‧Contemporary” as the annual theme, the thematic spirit for this year is “When Impressionism Gallops into the Contemporary.” We specially invite Taiwan’s first artist conducting a crossover creation with an international supercar brand, namely Lee Sun-Don, to present his installation art on classic supercar, demonstrating “The Power of Art, the Liberation of Life”.

For the Special Collection, there are mainland China’s rising stars Li Limin, Deng Wushu, Zhao Xin, and many others – all exhibiting for the first time in Taiwan. In addition, there is the unit of “Lions of the Snow Mountains,” which features artworks portraying Tibetan culture by realist artists Wang Zhaoju and Sui Jiangsheng.

International Contemporary Art

While exhibiting master artworks, such as those by Chinese-born French Art Academician Chu Teh-Chun and Japanese Yayoi Kusama, this section comprises two other units: “The Greats vis-à-vis the Greats” and “Spaniard Art Zone.”

Some of them exhibit the first time in Asia.

The “Spaniard Art Zone” features first and foremost the world’s leading surrealism artist Arnua Alemany, whose works demonstrate a beautiful infusion of realism and magic realism. Exhibiting artists include also Equipo Sur, Fermín Colomer, Marc Figueras, Mario Garcia Miro, and Mariano Gonzalez Beltran.

Contemporary Ink “ Water Flows and Color Shows ”

This is a new section, which is also the first of its kind in Asia – dedicated to showcase the most popular type of artwork nowadays, namely, the ink painting. Artworks displayed are created by artists from mainland China as well as Taiwan, including Chen Qi, Liao Meilan, Sha Qinghua, Su Chongmin, Li Baiming, Yang Zhiying, Lin Wenli, Wei Ruizong, Xiao Jusheng, and Miao Chong’an.

第四屆 台北新藝術博覽會

「藝出慈悲‧百大名人」作品預展

「藝出慈悲‧百大名人」慈善義賣

不斷突破創新的台北新藝術博覽會(Art Revolution Taipei )，在即將到來4月17日～20日的展會中規畫有十大展區，其中推出目前藝術市場最熱門的──當代水墨「運水留彩」專區，呈現當代水墨新藝象，這是台灣藝術展會之中首次推出當代水墨專區的藝博會。參展藝術家涵括兩岸華人區具潛力當代水墨藝術家，包括：李力民、陳奇、廖美蘭、沙清華、蘇崇銘、李百鳴、陽芝英、林文莉、魏瑞宗、蕭巨昇及苗重安等人，讓愛藝民眾能盡覽當代水墨藝術呈現的新風貌。

不斷創新的台北新藝術博覽會，每屆藝術總監都會訂定出不同主題，既挑戰藝術家的創意，亦同時呈現每年展會的不同風貌。

「當代水墨」是近來藝術市場及學術界最關切的藝術趨勢及焦點。為了因應國際市場對當代水墨的興趣與需求，國際兩大拍賣公司佳士得和蘇富比以及中國五大拍賣公司：中國嘉德、北京保利、北京匡時、北京榮寶及北京永樂，自2012年開始紛紛推出水墨專場，不論是當代的重量級水墨藝術家或是新銳藝術家，均屢屢拍出令人注目的成交價。

除了拍賣公司推出水墨專拍，全球重量級美術館如英國大英博物館、美國大都會博物館、英國薩奇畫廊、上海美術館、多倫現代美術館等，以及紐約軍械庫藝博會更先後推出當代水墨展，當代水墨已被視為目前最重要、最活躍及最受關注的藝術形式之一。收藏群擴及傳統書畫收藏家，還有收藏當代藝術的藏家，就目前市場而論，熟悉藝術市場的專家認為：當代水墨作品整體價位偏低，一線藝術家價格被低估，年輕藝術家的市場表現較為活躍，未來發展潛力值得期待。

新水墨與傳統中國畫雖然媒材相同，卻有著各自的藝術表現語言，許多藏家認為，當代水墨從學術和創作已醞釀多年，現在到達了應該市場噴發的時期。台北新藝術博覽會希望能為台灣民眾介紹並認識這股迅速崛起的藝術流派，同時將台灣極具實力及潛力的優秀水墨藝術家推上國際舞台。

本屆台北新藝術博覽會特別規劃的──當代水墨「運水留彩」展區，特別精挑細選出兩岸極具潛力當代水墨藝術家，像是詩、書、畫皆精通，近年來作品更獲多次全國大展獎項，被新加坡、台灣、日本等國內外收藏機構收藏的李力民，作品自成一格、充滿恬淡禪趣，書卷氣襲人。來自中國的李百鳴，雖然是以水墨創作，卻有西方油畫的寫實基礎，其融合寫實油畫與工筆國畫的作品，獨樹一格；以水墨呈現出風景的陳奇，雖是風景畫作，但卻非以傳統國畫的散點透視方式，而以現代的焦點透視創作方式，融合寫實油畫與工筆國畫的作品，讓水墨畫作呈現獨特的風貌；苗重安為長安畫派重要畫家，山水畫多表現黃河流域自然與歷史人文景觀，畫風寫實、意境開闊。

台灣藝術家廖美蘭作品極富哲學與文學思維，每一次展覽的作品，都是其生命能量爆發；長年致力於山水畫創作的蘇崇銘，作品不重著於寫實描繪，而以表達藝術家主觀的抒情為主，以乾筆記巧取代暈染效果，一點一點的描繪出山嵐、泥土、樹林的茂密，細筆講究仔細，水墨風格融合傳統與現代畫風；沙清華的作品或超現實、或展現藝術家的心靈風景，被評為「實中藏虛、虛中隱實且意境深遠」；蕭巨昇採用當代大眾符號，與正統水墨題材，同時置於畫面時，使畫面產生畫面符號產生的文化唐突感，與時空間的錯落感，繪畫技巧刻意的仿古，鮮明的個人風格，仍不失其獨特的東方情境，與強烈的當代精神。

魏瑞宗尋求傳統國畫的寫意宗旨，以追求傳統國畫六法中的「氣韻生動」，來作意象創作，追求文人水墨畫的「雅」，表現傳統「氣韻生動」之美。林文莉作品取材自台灣亞熱帶的一花一石、一草一木或生態昆蟲為創作靈感，其中技法有雙鉤、沒骨應用，藉以花草傳情，創造作品多彩多姿，來呈現大自然的萬物的風情萬種。年逾70歲的陽芝英，以大自然為主題，運用不同技巧，創造自己的風格。

2014台北新藝術博覽會共計48國家地區、280位藝術家參展，展覽作品高達2,000件，藉由多元文化的藝術創作，展現當代藝術不同面向，帶來一場充滿驚歎的藝術盛宴。本屆以「印象‧當代」為主軸，並在藝術總監李善單策畫之下，規畫出各具特色十大展區：經典綜合區、台灣當代藝術、中國當代藝術、國際當代藝術、紐約當代藝術基金、當代水墨「運水留彩」、2014國際藝術家評選賽特展、藝企相投‧藝企風發、文創藝術區及百大名人‧藝出慈悲。

每屆藝博會都會訂定出不同主題，既挑戰藝術家的創意，亦呈現每年展會的不同風貌。2014年大會主題為「印象．當代」，藝術總監李善單教授要求本屆參展藝術家以當代的手法表現印象派的精神；或對於現代的種種現象，以印象派方式呈現。台北新藝術博覽會將與全球頂尖藝術家共創當代藝術新印象！

藝術不僅是文化，更是教育推廣，絕對不能僅侷限在商業利益。「以藝術家為核心」、「視藝博會本身即為龐大藝術品」為策展主軸的台北新藝術博覽會，直接回歸藝術本質，讓藝術家榮耀地站在世人面前，打造出全亞洲最具指標性的藝術展會。2011年的首屆展會便創下藝術家成交率89.66%，直逼全球頂級巴塞爾博覽會；第二屆再創新高，藝術家成交率高達91.18%；第三屆許多作品在VIP之夜即被全數收藏！台北新藝術博覽會已建立起「絕對品牌」，成為亞洲最具特色之藝術平台。
