大河美術將舉辦陳硯平最新個展《山海今》,講述一著重於探索內心,追尋自我意識覺醒的當代寓言。《山海經》為一描繪人類在數千年前,因一場天災洪水而開啟對世界探索的傳說故事。該書傳誦至今,與許多改編一同形成一荒誕奇幻的世界。陳硯平比對故事中的奇人異獸與發生在現代之令人徬徨迷失的各種現象,將經典轉譯為當今寓言,回看不斷輪迴的歷史,而展開一場反思探索之旅。
RIVER ART GALLERY is going to present Yenping Chen’s latest solo exhibition, “New Classic of Mountains and Seas,” which tells a contemporary allegory emphasizing the exploration of inner selves and the pursuit of self-awareness awakening. “Classic of Mountains and Seas” is a legendary tale depicting humanity’s exploration of the world thousands of years ago following a catastrophic flood. The book, which has been passed down through generations, has formed a fantastical world alongside numerous adaptations. The artist juxtaposes the extraordinary beings and creatures from the story with bewildering phenomena occurring in modern times, translating the classic into a contemporary allegory, reflecting on the cyclical nature of history and embarking on a journey of reflection and exploration.
