Galerie Grand Siècle will host the solo exhibition of Chen Shao-Yen, Calm Travel during June 17 to July 24. His paintings were consecutively awarded with Newly Emerging Artists in Taiwan in 2013, Nanying Award in 2014 and Kaohsiung Award in 2015. “卡莫” is traditional Chinese which sounds like Calm in English. The peaceful image of home is the ultimate inspiration acquired from the pre-occupied city life, and it unfolds the scenery in mind, tranquil and heart-warming. Life journal always reminds a traveler to continue seeking for the innate truth. In this exhibition, Chen Hsiao-Yen draws out pure emotions from accustomed daily subjects by shades and crisscross of black and white lines, expecting to bring audience wander over in his vision.

“When the world is silent, subtlety gets awakening.” Calmness is aroused from viewing experience and perception of travel. In the moving process, the most graceful moment is when the next scenery is going to be unfolded. Hometown is definitely the place drawing out the most intensive sentiments of mine because what stages in front of me is the past, not the real scenes. During the moving courses from my military service, retirement from army and the paths for works, I am most attracted by the miscanthus, industrial roads near my home, and the thickets on the mountain. Throughout the growing experience, I was always treated with warmth, mot deliberate but utterly straight and true. For me, painting is the job of dissecting time and unearthing the warmth under.

Chen Hsiao-yen makes colors disengaged from objects to entirely concentrate the focus on gaps among objects. His proficiency in shifting the perspectives of dot and surface learned from the experience of making 3D animation enriches his style and makes it established. He re-presents segments of time to store the status of certain moments; meanwhile, the uncovered warmth in memory echoes the pursuit of truth in painting. Layers and segmented spaces interlaced in the canvas with many blank areas can shape multi-variate state of visual impression and sharpen the focus of beholders.

當世界安靜時，細微處就醒了。

卡莫(Calm)，來自旅行中的觀看與感受。在移動的過程中，最美的時候都是快要看到下一步的時候。

家鄉，絕對是最強的感受性之一，因為看到的不是風景，而是自己的樣子。近年在外當兵、退伍、工作的移動過程中漸漸吸引我的，反而是家鄉的芒草、產業道路、山上的樹叢等。回到我的成長經驗，總是有個溫度在那裡，那種溫度是沒有包裝，裸露的存在。繪畫在解剖這些時間表層下，釋放那依然存在的溫度。回到我的成長經驗，總是有個溫度在那裡，那種溫度是沒有包裝，裸露的存在。繪畫在解剖這些時間表層下，釋放那依然存在的溫度。

When the whole world is silent, subtlety is awakening.

Calm is aroused from viewing experience and perception of travel. In the process of moving, the most graceful moment is when the next scenery is going to be unfolded.

Hometown is definitely the place drawing out my strongest sentiments because what stages in front of me is my past experience, not the real scenes. During the moving courses from my military service, retirement from army and going for my jobs, I am most attracted by the miscanthus, industrial roads near my home, and the thickets on the mountain. Throughout my growing experience, I was always treated with warmth, not deliberate with completely pure. To me, painting, in the process of dissecting time and release the warmth buried under.
