亞歷克斯 · 帕倫斯基（Alex Palenski）是一位雕塑家，他在巴黎和諾曼底兩地生活和工作。他以建築工人的精神和對金屬原料的掌握，創作了"可動雕塑"，其優美的結構抓住了空氣和光線的流動。藝術家主要研究金屬原料的可塑性，就像鍛金工匠一般地，創造以獨特的曲線和充滿張力的體積形式 ，不斷地保持著結構的輕巧，精緻和堅固的藝術詞彙。而結果是驚人的，並且獨一無二無法模仿。 他的作品已被世界各地藏家廣泛收藏，也多次與紐約，巴黎，日內瓦的名室內設計師多次合作。

Alex Palenski is a sculptor who lives and works between Paris and Normandy. With a builder spirit and a mastery of direct metal, he creates mobile sculptures, graceful compositions that capture the movements of air and light. Working mainly on the plasticity of metals, he has developed his own vocabulary of forms in curved and tense volumes that he works like a goldsmith. Like interior jewelry, his precious and delicate sculptures are all unique stamped pieces. The result is great that is totally unique and impossible to imitate. One piece after another, Alex keeps mixing lightness, delicacy and solidity of the structures. A prowess he now carries out on other materials.

His works are in private collections all over the globe : New York, Rio, Moscow, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beyrouth, Geneva, London… and he has worked in collaboration with renowed interior architects in Paris, Geneva and New York.

透過一篇網路媒體訪談，讓我們更深刻認識這位優秀的年輕藝術家
Through an interview on The Sociality Family, let us know more about this excellent young artist ( https://www.thesocialitefamily.com/en/blog/alex-palenski-and-flora-mitjavile-artists/ )

Alex, why did you choose to work on mobiles? 

I fell in love with steel first when I was a child, but it took me a long time before getting to know this material. It seemed so hard to handle. I was trained on the job and I had to develop my own techniques and get round my gaps so I could find my style. What I’ve always loved with this material have been the mix of lightness, delicacy, and the solidity of structures. The mobile is the top of this pyramid. The technique of direct steel and the construction of mobiles spoke to me straight away: balances, levers, masses… It’s all very natural to me!

What’s the manufacturing process of your works?

For the table and floor mobiles, there is the whole work on the base, which I do in Normandy in the family workshop. There, welding torches, anvils, hammers and welding reign: there is a lot of noise, sparks and dust… In Paris, I make all the mobile parts. There, everything is quiet, the stools (files, wire cutters) are manual, the radio is playing softly. The atmosphere is perfect for this meticulous work.

What do you like best in your work? Can you tell us about your daily life?

It’s actually very simple. I feel exactly the same as when I was playing Lego when I was a child: some sort of quiet excitement that keeps me focused and make me daydream.

Who inspires you most?

The artists working with metal such as Berto Lardera, Marino di Teana, Philippe Hiquily and, in general, Lygia Clark, Barbara Hepworth but also Bob Dylan – not only for his sculptural works!

露絲 · 古伊雷，生於1985年，於法國漢斯的ESAD從事產品設計研究，隨後專注於巴黎ENSCI的紡織品創作。露絲致力於材料、織品相關的美學創作，與瑞士工作室Création Baumann合作後，再於2011年成立了自己的工作室。她的創作透過特殊的編織技術，一絲一縷最終成形而為一種獨一無二的“可動雕塑”。曾於2012獲得巴黎設計大獎 le Grand Prix de la Création de la ville de Paris得主。近期則是參加了2019威尼斯雙年展 VENICE DESIGN。

每件手工雕塑創作，藝術家都圍繞著手工編織的“脊柱”並透過不同的材料（木材，馬毛，紙，金屬）加以裝飾，創作過程中的所有編織行為被定義為“固定”和“組裝”兩項關鍵要素的載體，此要素替“可動雕塑”帶來全新生命。而作品的中心軸創建了穩定的引導結構，該結構錨定了圍繞它旋轉的裝飾材料並依照藝術家的創作語境而移動生成不同形狀。觀者可以發現藝術家所使用的材料和技術交織出的整體效果是真切而又精妙的當代組合。而在這種手工製作方法之中，露絲使用激光技術畫龍點睛，她於織造之前或之後的步驟採用這種技術來切割所有部分的形體邊緣。因此即使呈現的形狀看似簡約，卻能夠從作品的透明度與變形的多樣性中發現藝術家多年累積並與眾不同的藝術手法於其中。

藝術家所有作品皆可以沿用在不同領域，如高級訂製、室內設計、運動與醫療用品等等。 而這次在台灣的展出的Nuages系列，選擇構樹製成的和紙為材料，暈染過後的顏色在光線照射下呈現出意想不到的效果 。

APPROACH

Luce Couillet uses weaving techniques to create one-of-a-kind and limited-edition mobiles. Articulated around a hand-woven “spine" and decorated with different materials (wood, horsehair, paper, metal), weaving acts as a binding and assembly vector to bring the mobiles to life. The central axis creates a stable, guiding structure which anchors the different shapes revolving around it and moving according to the artist’s intention. The overall effect of the materials and techniques used is an authentic and subtly contemporary mix. Luce’s finishing touch in this artisanal approach to construction is the use of laser technology, which she employs to cut the mobiles’ exacting edges before or after weaving. The shapes obtained are simple, seemingly unsophisticated. But this refined geometry is revisited through transparency and anamorphosis. By playing with different scales, the mobiles become decorative elements or real architectural drawings. Luce works on both personal designs and custom orders.

伊莎貝爾·德沃斯（Isabel Devos）比利時藝術家 ， 畢業於根特 KASK & CONSERVATORIUM 藝術學院。經過幾年對自身藝術理論的積累與探索之後，她在比利時根特的Casa Argentaurum展出了她的“沉思景觀”系列作品。 2017年3月，她在巴黎的Mi Galerie展出多幅個人作品。

<沉思景觀>系列作品將觀者推向人與自然關係的邊界，並使之能夠透過微觀景物去聯想宏觀景物的樣貌 。從此一概念出發 ， 邀請觀者放寬對世界的視野，經過沉思的過程，以獲得對這個世界的維度更加開放性的理解。正如Dieter Debruyne所說的，“從主體的上下文中分離出部分細節，就自然產生了奇特而抽象的圖像，而這部分可以被指認為是風景中蘊含的可能性和作品中潛在的多層特徵”。這不僅僅意味著我們將有機會在一個微觀世界中重新發現浩瀚宇宙；我們還可能因為承認自然之美的過程中尋回那些人類與自然關係中闕漏的平衡關鍵。藝術家無可避免地必須以他們的方式表達出這樣的衝突「由於這是我們的本性，人類會試圖建造水路，水閘和人工湖來控制自然。因此，自然界就會因此在此一平衡關係上做出反應。」

通過攝影作品，伊莎貝爾用開放的，因此而具有沉思性的方式為我們提供了這個世界的圖像性。自然之美是個人主觀的，的確，沒有任何人工產物，河堤，牆壁或任何能夠真正容納自然之美。從她的風景當中我們可以發覺表現主義的態度，以及一些藝術史上可以參考的依據：如Rothko一般的色彩領域研究，William Congdon風景畫中沉悶且同時又戲劇性的顏色表現方法，也發現如Richter日常主題的關注以及誤導觀者的能力。抽像繪畫手法或許並不新穎，但從伊莎貝爾的獨特藝術論述之中融合了這些元素，可以說是一種稀有美感的綜合表達，讓伊莎貝爾的作品仍然令人印象深刻，而且罕見。

Isabel Devos, Belgium Artist, graduated at the KASK & CONSERVATORIUM School of Arts Gent. After several years of functional work, she presented her ‘Contemplative Landscapes’ at Casa Argentaurum in Ghent, Belgium. In 2015 she was one of the laureates of Urbanautica Institute’s portfolio review. In March 2017, she showed a selection of her images at Mi Galerie, Paris.

The series ‘Contemplative Landscapes’ pushes the viewer on the border between human and nature to a point that made possible to imagine landscapes from single traces of water on sluices and shores, ready-made details, crops of reality. An expanded view of the world, a further dimension, more open and contemplative. As well said by Dieter Debruyne «by isolating these parts from its context, a peculiar and abstract image arises, referring to the possibility of a landscape and the multi-layered characteristics of a painting». This is not just meant to re-discover the universe in a microcosm; in this act of recognition of the beauty of nature there is something redeeming. «Because it’s in our nature, humans tempt to control nature by building waterways, sluices, and artificial lakes. Hence nature reacts on these borders by leaving remnants behind.» The impact of certain artists is inevitable.

Through photography Isabel gives us a pictorial view of the world, with an open and therefore contemplative mind. This is not just meant to re-discover the universe in a microcosm; in this act of recognition of the beauty of nature, there is something redeeming. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder people say. And maybe it is, and there is no artifice, bank, wall, or anything that can truly contain it. Her landscapes retain an expressionist attitude, with a reminder of the cross-references to the color field research of Rothko, the dull and somewhat dramatic palette of William Congdon landscapes, the attention on daily subjects of Richter, and the ability to mislead the viewer and to cause distraction on “what it is” of Rudolf Stingel. All these elements feed Isabel Devos’s vision, an expressive synthesis of rare beauty. An operation of abstraction that is not new. Still the results of Isabel are impressive and of rare beauty.

Yumi Watanabe 渡邊由美 日本藝術家，定居於德國杜賽道夫。

突破一般攝影作品的傳統形式，是可以空間大小可以任意創作展覽形式的裝置攝影作品。她的攝影作品片狀呈現代表著片段的記憶，經過裝置的堆疊，形成另外一個形式的風景。影像透過傳統的暗房沖洗，再以樹脂將作品塑形成圓片，以靈活的方式呈現，能夠讓參觀者和作品更有互動。

展出的“愛之殘像”系列作品之中所謂殘像是渡邊由美孜孜不倦地尋找過去記憶的起源。 記憶以碎片的形式出現，偶爾會瞬間閃爍，但它們永不停止綻放成誘人的花朵。不論跌落或散落，它們存在於我們感受之中呈現出漸變，從漸變過程重塑自身對記憶的刻畫。渡邊由美是目前最有趣，思維最複雜的當代藝術家之一，尤其是因為她試圖結合併發揮典型的影響力，以及它們難以預測的相應後果。

Afterimage of Love” by Yumi Watanabe

Do you remember being lovestruck? When butterflies swarmed your gut and goosebumps covered every inch of your skin and a wave of emotions swept over you? Do you remember? A similar effect awaits you at the installation titled ‘Afterimage of Love’ by Yumi Watanabe; a revisitation of feelings you may have once had. Afterimage is a non-specific term that refers to an image continuing to appear in one’s vision after the exposure to the original image has ceased. Positive afterimages replace and layer in hues similar to those of the original sight. They are often very brief, lasting less than half a second. However, a stimulus which elicits a positive image may also precipitate into a negative afterimage via the adaptation process.

Carefully numbered to an exact 1001, flower petals romanticise the interior walls of the gallery. Artificial petals made of overpainted and laminated photos, each of which is anecdotal in both form and essence. The artist creates and furnishes these petals of “afterimage”, using a process connecting analogue and digital tools of photography. Reminiscing of a classical image of love as seen in movies, scattering petals everywhere, like in Sam Mende´s ‘American Beauty’, Yumi Watanabe is tracing petals of memory and leftovers of love. This ‘afterimage’ is the origin of Yumi Watanabe’s relentless search for her memory from the past. The memories appear in fragments, occasionally in an instant flicker, but they never cease to bloom into alluring blossoms. Fallen and scattered, they remain within ourselves and render the gradient from which we periodically analyse our situation. Delving deep into the struggling roles of history and memory, the perspective and personal interpretation of the artist provides a manual for understanding ourselves. The visitor is navigated by the artist towards the ‘haunting and activating’ qualities of memory. Art that engages with memory embodied in material and spatial conditions is examined alongside works that reflect upon memory’s effects through time. Contextualizing the role of memory in visual theory and aesthetic politics, Marcel Proust’s optics to Bernard Stiegler’s analysis of memory’s ‘industrialization’, this exhibition surveys the diversity of situations and registers in which contemporary artists explore memory as well.

Yumi Watanabe was born and educated in Japan. Nowadays, she is a commuter switching between cultures and continents, dividing her time between her home country, Japan and her current base, Düsseldorf as well as in Tijuana, Mexico for producing parts of her work. She weaves diverse influences of philosophical and historical impacts and offers opportunities to experience those in her work. Yumi Watanabe is one of the most interesting and complex thinking contemporary artists at the moment, particularly because, she tries to combine and play with typical influences and their often unpredictable corresponding consequences.

費迪 · 迪克（Ferdi B Dick）一位廣受歡迎的動畫師，曾與許多大品牌合作，同時是一位自學成才的製作人。於2000年在斯泰倫博斯大學獲得圖形和插圖榮譽學位並於南非開普敦工作與創作。曾參加了國內外多次群展和藝術博覽會，包括南非開普敦及弗朗斯胡克和美國紐約。

Ferdi B Dick, a sought-after animator who has produced work for multiple major brands, Ferdi is also a self-taught maker who enjoys working with his hands. He obtained an honours degree in graphics and illustration from the University of Stellenbosch in 2000. Lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. He has participated in several group exhibitions and art fairs both nationally and internationally, including Cape Town, Franschhoek in South Africa and New York.

爾後，從最初的3D動畫師工作，逐漸跨足製作當代雕塑。其創作的主體性由作品的數位虛擬和現實有形之間的交疊中呈現出色的結果，觀眾可以在具有誇張形象的3D動物之中，明顯發現卡通和動畫的特徵。

Ferdi B. Dick started off as a 3D animator and subsequently moved towards physical crafted sculptures. The result is a body of work that plays superbly in the overlap between digital and tangible, portraying three-dimensional creatures with exaggerated features directly influenced by cartoons and animations.

事實上，費迪的雕塑並非致敬大眾文化，而是喚起每個人心中反烏托邦的世界。儘管他的角色可能看起來詼諧有趣，但這些3D動物因失去的童年純真和成年的負擔而沉思。他的雕塑系列《我不相信獨角獸》描繪了情緒低落的瞬間，刻劃超普普風格的獨角獸和熊，眼淚變成了支撐它們的巨大支柱。

Rather than a celebration of mass culture, Ferdi’s sculptures evoke a dystopian world. While his characters might appear playful, they are wistful musings on lost innocence and the burdens of adulthood. His sculpture series I Don’t Believe in Unicorns depicts ultra-pop unicorns and bears in moments of emotional distress, whose tears have become giant crutches propping them up.

從他的作品當中可以反復發現早期動畫作品創作的線索，費迪尤其喜愛使用拋光銅的技法描繪角色，因此具強烈特色的流動性和熔融形式的主題使這位南非藝術家創造的所有角色格外的具強烈個人色彩。所有展出作品皆以數位模型開始，通過3D列印找到合適的材料形式，最後以銅鑄造。

A recurring theme of fluidity and molten forms unifies his characters, a direct influence from his animation work that is heightened by his use of polished bronze. They start out as digital models, find material form via 3D printing, and finally are cast in bronze.
