木村秀樹 HIDEKI KIMURA
1948年於京都出生的木村秀樹,畢業於京都市立藝術大學,主修西洋繪畫,1988年獲得日本政府資助獎學金,前往美國賓州大學藝術學院進修,年輕時即獲英國國際版畫雙年獎,此後更獲京都文化獎、京都當代藝術獎,重點收藏單位包括日本、美國、加拿大與德國等美術館機構。
木村秀樹熱愛朦朧的存在,能隱隱悠遊於兩種不同的事物之中, 卻又不隸屬於任何一方。作品《Misty》,是理性下的線條交織,亦是感性渲染裡的堆疊,營造出曖昧的模糊氛圍及衝突性,不知不覺使感官進入緊繃狀態。那像緩緩移動、不受拘束的迷霧有著神秘危險的張力,觸及了觀者內心底層的感受。
我們看見這個世界的真實空間,卻掌握不住無邊無際的朦朧感。觀者隨著《Misty》雲霧走進另一個空間,啟動了另一個想像,然而,我們仍舊身處在這真實又清晰的世界裡。
Hideki KIMURA, born in 1948, Kyoto, Japan, was graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts with majors in oil painting and printmaking. In 1988, he was sponsored by Japanese Government to study Fine Arts at University of Pennsylvania USA. In his early 20s, he was awarded the British International Print Biennale. In 2009, he was honored by Culture Prize and Kyoto Fine Art Culture Prize by Kyoto Prefectural Government. His works are mainly collected by National Museums in Japan, Germany, USA and Canada.
Hideki KIMURA is obsessed with ambiguity in existence, where the subject can sway in between two different sides but not confined to anyone. Misty, the exhibiting series feature the interweaving of rational moves and the overlapping of sentiments, which brings about the ambiguous atmosphere and provokes contradiction behind. His works could create a sense of unknown tension without advanced awareness of audience by the expression of misty, which moves slowly and unrestrictedly, carrying the sinister implication that could touch the deepest nature of beholders.
The physical world stands in front of our eyes every day; however, it always conceals an endless sense of ambiguity. As audience follows the movement of Misty and walks into a different space, imagination is given birth. Nevertheless, as audience turns around, the real world appears.

我對模糊的存在感興趣,就像我同時存在於兩種截然不同的事物之間,能夠選擇與哪件事物同在,實質上卻從未產生歸屬。在某個決定性的時刻,可以定義出模糊的存在。它可能對世俗的一致性產生威脅,進一步觀看時,甚至會帶來反常的緊張氛圍。然而,我相信曖昧不清的狀態能作為想像及創造的珍貴泉源。所以我的創作總是需要它。因此我敢於陳述,我的創作是為了找出世俗尋常中的模糊狀態。
I am interested in ambiguous existence, where I am in between two different things and am able to be on either side but at the same time I do not belong to either of them.
The ambiguous existence could be defined by crucial situation. It may threaten mundane consistency but rather bring a sinister tension if you get close to the situation.
I believe however, that the ambiguity could be an invaluable source of imagination and production.
That is the reason I always need the ambiguity.
I may dare to say that my creation is to find the ambiguity in the mundane consistency.
