蔡 鈺 娟

BOUIE CHOI YUK KUEN

蔡氏一直專注拓展城市刻畫的可能性,透過於繪畫中編織不同回憶碎片,塑造及保存各種消逝中的城市面貌與印象。她的創作過程就像在晦暝的陰天尋找光芒一般,作品經常透過對照可見與潛藏的、自然與人造的、分散與聚合的,以及微小與龐然的都市物象,帶出人類的渺小,投射自身的心境。如果一張畫盛載著無數「借來的空間、借來的時間」,蔡氏除了設法拼湊在當下不斷逝去的城市印象,也試圖從時空的虛實、不協調、不由自主之中尋找彼此的縫合點。她近年常以木材及回收舊木為繪畫「夥伴」,透過保存、打磨、洗刷及潑灑的反過程,將自身的精神思想狀態注入物料之中,從多視角及層疊時空的城市描繪中尋找自由的定義。

 

蔡氏在2009年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系,後於2012年獲倫敦切爾西藝術與設計學院碩士學位。藝術家此前個展包括於香港嘉圖現代藝術舉辦「彼月此日」(2023「如是_偏安一隅」(2020)、「屏息——蔡鈺娟個人展覽」(2015)及「康福臺——蔡鈺娟個人展覽」(2011);她亦曾參與香港、臺灣、日本及倫敦各地群展。

Pushing the possibilities of urban imagery, Choi is interested in giving shape to the perishing impressions of a city through interweaving fragments of memory in her painting. Her creative process is like searching for light under overcast skies. The landscapes she paints often remind us of humanity’s insignificance through juxtaposing the visible and the invisible, the artificial and the natural, the scattered and the gathered, micro and macro beings; their coexistence reflects the artist's state of mind. If a painting is a manifestation of infinite borrowed space and time, Choi attempts to negotiate within the gap between the tangible and the intangible, and indescribable space and time with the light of hope and the power of urban imagery. In recent years, Choi has familiarised herself with wood and explores the definition of freedom with multi-perspective and layered temporalities, imbuing the material with her state of mind through the repetitive processes of preserving, sanding, washing, and sprinkling.

 

Choi holds a BA in Fine Art from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (2009), and an MA in Fine Art from the Chelsea College of Art and Design, University of London (2012). Her previous solo exhibitions include Crossing the lines Filling the nights (2023), borrowed space_borrowed time (2020), The Breathing Room (2015), and Comfort Terrace (2011) at Grotto Fine Art, Hong Kong; and she has participated in various group shows in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and London.
