雲清藝術很榮幸舉行【緻密的玻璃空間 Closely Glazed Spaces】大久保如彌(Naomi OKUBO) 睽違四年台北個展。大久保如彌於2017年獲獎助赴紐約駐村創作,於2020年回到日本。 此次個展帶來9件繪畫及5件雕塑作品,並將出席12/17 展覽開幕。
旅居紐約期間的某夏日黃昏,大久保如彌來到布魯克林大樓頂層的野生花園,視線的前方是一紫色燈條環繞的碩大水槽;此刻身旁的野花、眼前的水槽和遠方曼哈頓日落,宛如科幻電影場景的組合開啟藝術家此次個展創作契機。
展名【緻密的玻璃空間 Closely Glazed Spaces】靈感取自1842年的英國著作《On the Growth of Plants in Closely Glazed Cases》,作者Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward 醫生(1791-1868)發現只要提供少量土壤和適當的水分與光線,植物便能在受密封玻璃箱(Wardian case)保護的環境中安然度過漫長的海運航程,改變了世界植物生態。
Elsa Gallery is delighted to present Closely Glazed Spaces, an exhibition of 9 paintings and 5 sculptures by Naomi OKUBO. Naomi Okubo had stayed in New York for artist in 2019. and will attend the opening of the 12/17 exhibition.
On a summer evening while living in New York, Okubo Rumi came to the wild garden on the top floor of the Brooklyn building, and in front of his sight was a huge water tank surrounded by purple light bars; The combination of sci-fi movie scenes opened up the opportunity for the artist to create this solo exhibition.
The title of the exhibition [Closely Glazed Spaces] is inspired by the British book “On the Growth of Plants in Closely Glazed Cases” in 1842. The author, Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791-1868), found that as long as a small amount of soil and proper moisture are provided With light, plants can safely spend the long sea voyage in an environment protected by a sealed glass box (Wardian case), which has changed the world’s plant ecology.
展出繪畫作品的所有敘事皆在被玻璃籠罩的空間中上演,大久保如彌安排未露出面貌的主角在絢麗蔓生的植物景觀和繁複花草圖騰壁紙中,展開一連串亦真亦幻的個人生活場景。大久保如彌觀察到,當周圍環繞的都是出於強烈熱愛和慾望所揀選、收藏的植物和蝴蝶,或許已然目不暇給,更無心顧及那堅固又脆弱的玻璃帷幕另一邊真實存在的世界;看似透明卻又橫亙於生命的體驗之間,光線雖然被允許穿過,我們看著的始終只是我們想看的。而完全地控制和隔離究竟是保護還是阻礙?大久保如彌認為經過新冠疫情後,這個主題更拓展了它的意義,因為所有人都對與世隔絕的生活是什麼樣的感受有了自己的體會。
同場亦將展示大久保如彌全新玻璃雕塑,其創作概念亦與展覽主題相連,玻璃塊中的凹陷空間描繪的是一個人的形體,反向提示著我們以為的存在可能是如此虛無而空洞。
