簡介

藝術家表示:「塑膠材料製成的吹氣嘴在膨脹與收縮系列作品中象徵人體的毛細孔。眾多的排列呈現,企圖拉近與觀眾間的關係,將吹氣嘴的「吹」字提出,象徵著一個行為模式;讓觀眾在欣賞同時,感染這個模式的氛圍,回憶起兒時吸吮母體的記憶,用一種「接觸美學」與觀眾產生互動關係。」

然而,充氣的人體與洩氣的人體佈置在空間中,像是述說著社會上的人際關係,有些人誇大、膨脹自己;有些則內斂、暗藏,躲藏在某一個角落,刻意地用色彩與透明的對比呈現,讓作品在空間場域當中,產生莫名的對話。此對話關係也融入每位來往穿梭民眾的內心。

循著檜木香氣,穿過沉靜充滿古意的迴廊,映入眼簾的是一間小巧寧靜的咖啡廳,CAFÉ SOLE隱身於松山菸廠,這個古樸且充滿歷史韻味的建築裡。SOLE 在義大利文是「太陽」之意,從CAFÉ SOLE的Logo可以略見端倪,灑落陽光的窗櫺邊,啜飲一杯咖啡,C'est La Vie。

“Plastic mouthpieces in the Expansion and Contraction series symbolize the pores on our skin. Rolls of mouthpieces are my attempt to approach the viewers. The blowing function of the mouthpiece symbolizes a behavioral pattern. Viewers will feel the ambience emanating from the plastic objects and recall a time when they were just babies, suckling at their mothers’ breasts. Such is the “contact aesthetics” approach to interacting with the viewers,” the artist says.

The juxtaposition of inflated and deflated dolls in one space also seems to allude to social relationships. Some people tend to be ostentatious and vociferous, while others are more restrained and inconspicuous and tend to hide themselves off to the sides. The artist purposefully employs both colored and transparent figures to contrast and form an inexplicable dialogue that touches the inner world of every viewer.

Let the scent of the Taiwanese cypress guide you through the quiet, quaintly-cloistered path to a small coffee house. Café Sole is situated in the Songshan Tobacco Plant, an antiquated and historic complex. “Sole” is an Italian word for sun, the meaning of which reflected in the shop logo. Sitting by the sun-lit window and taking a sip of coffee…C’est la vie!
