チェン・チンヤオ（陳擎耀）
戦場の女
2025.7.19-8.23
日頃よりご愛顧いただき深く感謝いたします。eitoeikoではチェン・チンヤオによる弊廊初の個展「戦場の女」を開催します。1976年台湾に生まれたチェン・チンヤオ（陳擎耀）は、笑いやユーモアを交えながら、時代と流行、社会制度に言及する作品を制作しています。本展では日本統治時代の台湾に生まれた女性画家、チェン・ジン（陳進 1907-1998）の作品を引用し、日本・中国・台湾という国の現在地を示します。陳進が1945年に描いた『眺望』では、地下防空壕の出入口から上空を望む女性の姿が描かれています。同作品をふまえて、チェン・チンヤオはそこに現在の社会状況を映し出します。またチェン・ジンを引用した3点の映像作品と絵画に加え、他の2名の台湾の作家による絵画の引用から発展し、視覚的な翻訳を加えた新作を発表します。チェン・チンヤオの作品はそう遠くない過去の美術史を掘り起こし、現在の安全な日常生活は政治や外交といったものと切り離すことができないことを改めて思い起こさせます。
会期中には、田川市美術館にて個展「開戦84年 戦争と美術」（7月12日～8月31日）が開催されます。本展とあわせてご高覧ください。

eitoeiko is honored to present "Women of the Battlefield," our first solo exhibition by Chen Ching-Yao. Born in Taiwan in 1976, Chen Ching-Yao creates works that skillfully blend humor and irony to examine contemporary issues, cultural trends, and societal systems. In this exhibition, the artist references the work of Chen Chin (1907–1998), a pioneering female painter born during Taiwan’s Japanese colonial era, to reflect on the current socio-political conditions of Japan, China, and Taiwan. In Chen Chin's View(1945), a woman is depicted gazing upwards from the entrance of an underground air raid shelter. Through Chen Ching-Yao’s reinterpretation of this work, viewers are presented with a critical lens on today’s society. In addition to three video works and painting that reference Chen Chin’s pieces, the exhibition will also present new works developed from the paintings of two other Taiwanese artists, transformed through visual translation. Chen Ching-Yao revisits recent art history, reminding us that the safety and stability of our current daily lives are inseparable from political and diplomatic contexts.
During the same period, a solo exhibition titled "84th anniversary of the outbreak of the World War II: War and Art" will be held at the Tagawa City Art Museum, from July 12 to August 31. We cordially invite you to view both of the two solo exhibitions.
