TAPAS是一種深植西班牙民心的獨特小酒館飲食文化代名詞,在1930年代興起,當時工業時代來臨,飲食習慣也進行變革,人們需要有效率可以隨時上菜的小點,以便配合越來越長的工作時間。同時也開始有家庭婦女進入職場,到餐廳或小酒館工作,因此很多TAPAS都有家庭手工菜的影子,可說是西班牙各地區風味的美食縮影。

而黃沛瀅的創作主題始終與「生命」相關,所呈顯出的不是對現實世界的描繪,而是腦中各種異想世界的重現。創作技法與材質表現向來喜歡嘗試新的可能,像是瓦楞紙雕、保溫管、或是竹筒等,運用量感堆砌的軟雕塑造型作品,呈現出一個個感官新體驗的異想空間。

這次,黃沛瀅再度將獨特的創作語彙結合自身過往經驗,從遊戲與實驗出發,依然可以看到群聚半空中的特殊飄浮物,但使用初次嘗試的霓虹燈管材質,搭配上纏繞的造型結構,以慣用的鮮紅色彩出現,把對生命的張力用強烈的視覺意象用力揮灑,造就了一片盛氣凌人的壯闊風光,讓台北藝術思維結合異國風尚食館,構築成一處特殊氛圍的藝術空間。

Tapas is the name for a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine that is unique to its bar and bistro culture. In the 1930's, during the rise of the industrial age, dinning habits also were undergoing revolutions, and people began to demand efficient snacks that could be readily available in order to suit the extended working hours. At the same time, many homemakers also started to enter into the working fields, and some have gone to work in dinners or bistros, and hence, tapas also resemble touches of household cooking. Some also say that tapas are the miniature versions of different Spanish cuisines.

Huang Pei-Ying's creative themes are also tightly knit to experiences in life, and depict not only observations about the real world, but also a representation of the various imaginative worlds in her mind. Creative skills and different media are used to accommodate her interests in trying out new possibilities, and examples of some of the materials utilized are corrugated papers, insulation tubes, or bamboo poles. The materials are layered to create sculptures that are soft, and a brand new sensual experience is created in a world that comes from the artist's imagination.

For this project, Huang once again uses unique creative lexicons to combine with her personal experiences, and from the games and experiments conducted, large groups of floating organs can still be seen, but this time, she attempts to use neon light tubes for the first time as the medium. Together with the intertwining structures and her familiar bright red tone, life’s vitality is expressed with a bold visual imagery, and the majestic scenery formed creates a creative space with an unusual ambiance.

《螢光夜色》

漫長的都會叢林深藍著
一種慵懶的奢華

游離在空氣中
濃厚的氣息層層圍繞著
釋放的情愫 蔓延

熱戀的 纏綿
青澀的 曖昧
冷冽的 深刻
寧靜的 遙遠

我用螢光的線條
在夜空中速寫
人們內心深沉又狂熱的
夜色

《 Neon Nightfall 》

The long endless city jungle is of a cavernous blue
A decadence that is indolent

Wandering in the air
the thick breathes intertwine layers on top of layers
Heartfelt feelings are being emitted being extended

Languishing Passion
Un-ripened Ambiguity
Wintry Profoundness
Serene Distance

I use lines of neon
to sketch on the nightfall sky
the unfathomable and untamed inner
nightfall inside of people’s hearts
