Overview

Time flows like a river, and art resonates like sound. Amid the currents of time, the pulse of creation never ceases. Art is an ongoing dialogue—between form and concept, material and body, language and future—generating layers of profound echoes.

 

In 2025, CHINI Gallery invites seven artists, spanning generations and styles, to present the legacy and transformation of art in the interwoven currents of time. The theme “Passing Currents” symbolizes the continuous flow of artistic language across eras and generations, like a river that moves silently beneath the surface; “Resonant Echoes” represents the intangible connections between works of art, where echoes traverse the gaps of time and space, resonating both with the past and the present.

 

 The exhibition is curated in a non-linear manner, presenting the works of the artists as a visual and conceptual dialogue. It is divided into three sub-themes: “Originating Currents | The Birth of Form” (HO Kan, LEE Kuang-Yu), “Submerged Currents | Perception of the Material” (LU Hsien-Ming, Suling WANG, Chen Cheng-Wei), and “New Currents | The Expansion of Poetry” (CHANG Chia-Ying, LU Yu).

 

“Passing Currents, Resonant Echoes” is both a performance of time and a reconstruction of vision. Through the works of these seven artists, the viewer will enter a river of creation that reverberates endlessly—hearing the echoes of form, the whispers of material, the murmurs of poetry—reimagining the voice of contemporary art in the fissures between past and future.

Artist

霍剛 (1932-)

HO Kan

Ho Kan integrates Eastern calligraphy and the art of seal carving with a minimalist yet poetic visual language to develop his distinctive, Eastern lyrical abstraction. He starts with elemental points, and, from them, he creates his own philosophy about the arrangement of the image, validating the existence of each element.

李光裕 (1954-)

LEE Kuang-Yu

Lee employs signature techniques such as “piercing” to break open the closed structure of traditional sculpture, creating a distinctive formal and conceptual language of emptiness. His works embody an “Eastern void” where self and object dissolve, offering not only profound aesthetic value but also a contemplative reflection on the human condition, imbued with contemporary social relevance.

陸先銘 (1959-)

LU Hsien-Ming

Lu's artistic practice has been profoundly shaped by the socio-political transformations of Taiwan. Across decades, Lu's art has consistently centered on the human condition, whether through urban structures, symbolic objects, or natural imagery. His stylistic trajectory has progressed from fierce critique to a balance of reason and emotion, incorporating diverse techniques and cross-media experiments. Through his practice, Lu engages with the pulse of society, portraying the evolving cultural identity of Taiwan.

王淑鈴 (1963-)

Suling WANG

Through layered paint and spatial composition, she creates an interstitial “complex space” between abstraction and representation, unifying fragmented perceptions and memories into a coherent temporal and spatial field. Unlike Western landscape painting, which often emphasizes visual representation, her landscapes convey a distinct Eastern perceptual and emotional sensibility.

陳承衛 (1984-)

CHEN Cheng-Wei

Chen is one of the leading contemporary figurative realist artists in China. In recent years, his Blossoms of Life series marks a shift from classical realism to a more symbolic and spiritual language, blending Eastern mural and Thangka traditions with Western Impressionist sensibilities in color and line to evoke themes of life energy and maternal love.

張嘉穎 (1982-)

CHANG Chia-Ying

Chang uses her individual linguistic system to embed a series of hints and clues in hand-written scrolls and manuscript fragments displayed in the cabinet, performing an invocation ritual through a pseudo-antique style and telling the history of people warring for the Aura stone.

盧宇 (1984-)

LU Yu

Lu’s works are primarily based on animal forms, using transformations of biological shapes and various partial alterations to present a unique aesthetic of free and organic growth. Her pieces often combine mutated animal figures with human characteristics, depicting the appearance and posture of animals while reflecting an internal emotional projection.
