【双方藝廊 X 台北當代】 展出藝術家：徐永旭 Hsu Yunghsu 〈2016-55〉 高溫陶 Stoneware, 2016 220x152x80 cm 徐永旭，生於1955年 以身體做為創作主體，投注高度的決心與毅力至藝術創作中，強調身體與作品間的對話，以主體與身體融為一體的方式面對創作材質，藉由身體的知覺、觸覺與痛覺，在現有以土為主的結構之中和世界相互流動、作用，並與之形構出作品。 藝術家親自以繁複及高度勞動的工序，與環境、氣候、燒製等完全結合，只為呈現出最純粹的雕塑作品。經過不斷解構與建構的過程，將本為土的厚重本質，捏塑出極為輕薄柔和的線條及形態，如此的反差成就其創作的新觀點，出現了令人嘆為觀止，以泥土創作中難見的「大」作品及「薄」作品。而徐永旭以「超越，由生命超越生命，由藝術創作超越藝術創作，由藝術創作超越生命」的態度為出發點，不斷地自我挑戰，期待超越每次在生命與藝術創作路程上的極限。 歡迎前來双方藝廊展位B15欣賞更多精美作品 Treating the body as a creative tool, the artist devotes himself entirely to the field of ceramic art. He emphasizes the dialogue between the body and his artworks, and confronts the clay by integrating the subject with the body. His artworks are created on the basis of the interplay between the world and his perception as well as tactile and algesic senses within the clay-based structure. To create the purest and finest ceramic artworks, the artist not only adopted complex and painstaking procedures of production, but also exercised his superior skill in kilning. Through the constant process of deconstruction and reconstruction, he successfully transformed the heavy clay into delicate lines and shapes. His awe-inspiring, extraordinarily “large” but “thin” ceramic works, along with their charm of innovation, all resulted from such a refreshing contrast. Following his philosophy of life, that is, “transcending life through life, transcending artistic creation through artistic creation, and finally transcending life through artistic creation,” the artist keeps challenging himself, expecting to transcend the confines of life and artistic creation.
