作品簡介

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

1959年出生於奈及利亞的Tola Wewe,在1991年成為全職藝術家前曾從事過漫畫家的工作。在他的作品中,傳統非洲藝術的斑斕色彩一覽無遺,同時也感受到各式非洲符號、面具等圖騰在畫面中流轉。他曾描述當創作時,他就像個傳遞者,與祖先有了情感思想的交流,好似進行了一場遙遠的旅程,描繪出無法看見的內在精神,也同時傳達了具幻想式的經驗。

走進富邦金融中心寬敞而明亮的大廳,挑高而穿透的設計,白天時迎入陽光灑落,夜間點亮城市一隅,讓光影與往來人影交錯,而建築能與人更加貼近。自1997年起,富邦金控長期釋出牆面、迴廊、梯聽等公共區域,企業空間巧妙轉換成人與藝術對話的場所。

Born in Nigeria in 1959, Tola Wewe worked as a cartoonist before becoming a full time studio artist in 1991. The bright colors of traditional African art are immediately clear to the eye in Wewe’s work, and African totems, symbols and masks run through it. Wewe once described his role in the creative process as that of a messenger, "communicating with the spirits of the ancestors, and drawing out the invisible spirits - the anjonnu, emere and the ebora - who make the art works…I am the vehicle, and they are the drivers. We go on these strange journeys to the most remote ends of imaginative experience.”

Walk into the bright and spacious lobby of the Fubon Financial Center and admire the sleek interior design. Sunlight falls through the windows during the day, and the city lights blink through at night; such interaction between light, shadow, and silhouettes makes the architecture all the more personal. Since 1997, Fubon Financia lCenter has lent its walls, corridors, and stairways as galleries, cleverly combining people and arts in this business space.
