The Fake Landscape (Collateral Events) I-Shu Chen Solo Exhibition is split between two venues: Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Exhibition Rooms 304-306, from July 27 to October 20, 2024, and MUZI ART from August 3 to October 30, 2024, with an opening tea party on August 3 at 3 PM.
Titled Fake Landscape (Collateral Events) I-Shu Chen Solo Exhibition, the show traces Chen Yi-Shu's creative journey from 2022 to 2024. Inspired by Taihu stones and paying homage to Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri, whose "Maps and Territories" explore reality versus illusion, Chen Yi-Shu's work resonates deeply.
Amidst the Russia-Ukraine war, Chen Yi-Shu reflects on how national borders have become symbols of political conflict, translating this into blurred, fragmented lines that symbolize political contemplation. These lines express the tension between national identities and global uncertainties.
Music, especially from Wagner, Bach, Shostakovich, and Mahler, profoundly inspires Chen Yi-Shu. His artworks aren't literal translations but resonate inwardly. Wagner's leitmotifs recur in Chen's pieces, forming a poignant language inviting viewers into his inner landscape.
Chen Yi-Shu's minimalist sketches craft aesthetic structures of lines. His latest series, Fake Landscape (Collateral Events), uses repetitive lines, gradients, and varied backgrounds, mirroring Ghirri's style and blurring reality with illusion.
Since 2020, Chen Yi-Shu has delved into abstract formal language, expanding his artistic freedom and depth. His line choices are deliberate, meditative, and emerge during his painting process.
Audiences encounter vibrant colors, layered textures, and 3D effects in Chen Yi-Shu's works. These elements harmonize, creating captivating visual dynamics that deeply engage viewers. We hope your visit to the exhibition evokes the emotional and visual resonance these works offer.
