新苑藝術將於2017年12月29日至2018年1月26日推出新苑藝術家江佩珊個展《揭膚》，開幕活動謹定於12月29日晚間六點。江佩珊，駐墨西哥台灣藝術家，繪畫作品觀照各種人類行為與人際關係，試圖梳理並描繪人生經驗中的矛盾情結，她自許為「感受的拾荒者」，以一種「黑暗的美感」呼喚人類潛意識中的黑暗面，那些因晦澀和難以面對而被封藏的情緒感受。江佩珊試圖提供不同角度供觀者面對自我黑暗，透過正視真實的自我，進而重整並揭示內在的感性經驗，於層層外殼之下，所有的感受都有其連鎖反應，我們永遠可以有多面向的角度來理解那些黑暗面。

此次個展《揭膚》，取自西班牙語“Desprendiéndome pieles abras/zadas”，意為「揭開緊抱的／被灼傷的皮膚」，作品從各種人類行為，特別是家庭關係中，企圖理解人際關係的糾結，思考過去的經驗如何與現實纏繞，不斷地以痛苦的夢魘再現，穿越時空，以各種方式反射著真實的自我感受，透過時間、空間、感受、情緒、記憶及反思沉澱、結晶為一個新的自我。《揭膚》也意味著那些矛盾的情結：我們緊緊擁抱和緊緊擁抱我們的，正是將我們灼傷的。所有的情緒都有其對立面，尤其是一些難以理解，難以表述的心靈感受，卻真正主導著我們的外在行為。江佩珊認為，沒有應該被丟棄的情緒。

江佩珊，1983年生於台灣，目前居住與創作於墨西哥，畢業於清華大學材料工程科學學系及輔仁大學心理研究所，自28歲開始走上繪畫創作的道路，以藝術為媒介來傳達其對於人生百態的執迷，對她來說，創作不只是為了理解，也是一種感受方式，開啟一個世界安放靈魂深處的陳舊情感，重新體驗與詮釋重要的生命經驗。其作品曾於墨西哥國家參議院展覽廳(Senado de la República)、狄耶哥里維拉與芙利達卡蘿工作室博物館(Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo)、墨西哥蒙特瑞爾科技大學FEMSA集團畫廊(Edificio FEMSA del Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Santa Fe)、雪松基金會(Edificio FEMSA del Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Santa Fe) 展出，並入選西班牙FLAMANTES青年藝術家選集。

Desprendiéndome pieles abras∕zadas – Solo Exhibition by CHIANG Pei-Shan

開幕時間｜2017/12/29(五) 6:00pm Opening｜2017/12/29(Fri.) 6:00pm

Galerie Grand Siècle is going to present a solo exhibition of artist CHIANG Pei-Shan during December 29th, 2017 to January 26th, 2018. The opening will be launched at 6 pm on December 29th. CHIANG is a Mexico-based Taiwanese artist, and her paintings expresses the concern on diverse human behaviors and relationships between human beings, combing the contradictory complex of life experiences. CHIANG sees herself as “feeling collector”, collecting those sealed and hard-to-facing emotions, calling the dark side in human subconscious with her “dark artistic perception.” CHIANG Pei-Shan provides spectators for different scenes of self-dark side through her painting, telling people that facing your true self is the important way to reform and discover your inner sensibility; under layered covers, emotions are chain reactions and the internal dark side needed to be understood in many ways.

The title of CHIANG Pei-Shan’s solo exhibition Desprendiéndome pieles abras/zadas is from Spanish, which means tearing and exposing the burnt and hidden skin. She tries to figure out the complicated situation in human relationships, especially in family relations. How does the past experience distract the reality and reappear in the form of nightmare? Coming from the past, it reflects people’ true self in multiple aspects, and reform a new inner self through different ways including time, space, feeling, emotion, memory, and reflection. Desprendiéndome pieles abras/zadas expresses the contradictory complex: “what we hold and love intensely is exactly what hurts and burns us the most.” Every feeling has two-sides, and it is what guides our motions but can’t be explained. To her, there is nothing can be abandoned, every emotion matters.

CHIANG Pei-Shan was born in Taiwan in 1983, received a bachelor degree in Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, as well as a Master Degree in Department of Psychology, Fu Jen Catholic University. She has started the road as an artist since she was 28 years old, and then lives and works in Mexico now. To her, Art is the medium expressing her obsession toward various experiences of life; it is not only a way to understand, but to feel the world — unfolding a space which can rest the past affections in peace, and re- experience those important life senses. Her artworks was exhibited in Senado de la República, Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, Edificio FEMSA del Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Santa Fe, and Edificio FEMSA del Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Santa Fe. She was also selected in FLAMANTES, a Spanish young artist selections.

​這個名為《揭膚》的展覽，原名是“Desprendiéndome pieles abras∕zadas”，在西班牙語中的意思是”揭開緊抱的/被灼傷的皮膚”，說明了這系列作品的中心思想----我們緊緊擁抱和緊緊擁抱我們的，正是將我們灼傷的----所有的情緒都有其對立面。這一系列的作品我希望探討的就是這些矛盾的情結，尤其是一些難以理解，難以表述卻真正主導我們的感受。對我而言，沒有應該被丟棄的情緒。我一直認為自己是”感受的拾荒者”，在人生經驗中，許多因晦澀和難以面對而被封藏或否認的情緒，是我認為應該關照的部分。這系列作品從各種人類行為中，特別是家庭關係中企圖理解人際關係的糾結: 過去的經驗如何與現實纏繞，不斷地以痛苦再現著，穿越時空，以各種方式反射著真實的感受，透過時間、空間、感受、情緒、記憶及反思沉澱、結晶成為一個新的「自我」。以心理學的觀點來詮釋，是一種人類無意識地回應所謂來自的”黑暗面”的呼喚。黑暗面並不代表負面，而是因為當中蘊含了太激烈的力量而令人不敢直視，而被置於不見光的角落。但是，這樣的能量卻能激發出令人毛骨悚然美感的靈感來源。我希望傳遞給觀者的是，我們永遠可以有不同的角度觀看自己的黑暗面，即使不是一個容易的過程，但唯有如此才能將自己重整。透過這樣一個自我揭示與感性的經驗過程，最後我們會發現，沒有任何一面會永遠是黑暗面。每一副畫作都是一段故事的場景，讓作者心中出現的角色在其中演繹、重現傷痛，之後，這些角色將擁有自己的生命，活出另一個新的故事。這樣子的過程，讓創作者能一次次地重新詮釋自己的生命經驗。每次創作的過程當中，我希望能創作出一個讓我自己相信、且能活在其中的畫面。而畫布給我的是一個界線，提醒我自己，畫面中的那個世界，不是唯一一個我活著的世界。在這個過程當中，始終有兩個我，一個是住在畫裡面的我，一個是正在畫畫的我，隔著畫布，一個完美的距離，讓情緒的激流留在畫面，不致襲捲現實中的自己。創作的目的不只是為了理解，也開啟一個世界，一個空間，讓一些陳舊的情感得到安頓，甚至進化，得到一個重新的詮釋。對我來說，這是唯一能夠不斷證明自己存在的一種方式。活著就是不斷找尋新的感受方式，所有的感覺都是存在的一部分，只要能感覺，就是一種存在。作品則只是一個紀錄，記錄了過去的生命經驗如何脫離過去的框架，找尋重新定義的旅程。對觀眾和創作者來說，藝術應該是一個經驗而不是一個目的，透過聆聽觀者的感受，才能完整創作。重新體驗，再度詮釋，才能繼續存在 江佩珊 

​The title of my solo exhibition Desprendiéndome pieles abras/zadas is from Spanish, which means tearing and exposing the burnt and hidden skin, and it presents the very core of my artworks: “what we hold and love intensely is exactly what hurts and burns us the most.”All emotions have the opposites, and the contradictory complex is what I meant to present in this solo exhibition, that truly guiding the motions but can’t be explained. To me, there is nothing can be abandoned, every emotion matters.I see myself as a“feeling collector”, collecting those sealed and hard-to-face emotions, calling the dark side in human subconscious, and it is what I want to pay attention.The series points out the complicated human relationship from all kinds of human behaviors, especially from family ties. How does the past experience pass through the time, connect with the reality, and re-appear with the appearance of pain? It reflects the true feeling inside from different angles, and then becomes a new “ego” by multiple means including time, space, sense, memory, and reflection. From the psychology point of view, it is an unintentional response to the calling of so-called “dark side.  The “dark side” doesn’t mean negative; instead, the “dark side” is ignored deliberately because of its strongly intense power frighten people, and it is the same power arousing a horrified as well as stunned sense of beauty. I want to tell people that it is truly hard to face our own “dark side”, but it is the only way to recover. Through the sensitive self-discovering process, we will finally realize that none of our heart will always be the dark side.Every painting is a scene from different story where the author can create a character to perform and produce the pain, and afterward, those characters would live a new story by themselves. By the process, artist interprets his/her own life experiences again and again.I am aiming to create a simulated and vivid world where I can live in while I am drawing. The demarcation line is my canvas. It continuously reminds me that I am not only live in the world I create but also the real world outside.  There are two versions of myself—one is me living in the painting and the other is me drawing on the canvas. They are divided by the canvas, which provides the perfect distance to keep the surge emotions in the canvas world from overwhelming me in real world.Besides understanding people, the other purpose of my art creation is to create a world settling and evolving some old memories and emotions, and also find a new interpretation. To me, it is an important process proving my existence. I keep finding new ways to sense the world, and that’s how I live my life. All feelings are part of existence. I exist in the world as long as I can feel things.The artworks are my notes recording how the past experiences detach from old patterns and redefine new patterns. No matter to whom, audiences or creators, art is supposed to be an experience instead of a purpose. Artists only can accomplish art by listening and responding audiences’ feelings. CHIANG Pei-Shan
