安卓藝術很榮幸於2025年秋季推出藝術家黨若洪在畫廊的第五次個展「金銀島」。此展亦為黨若洪於2023年以「高枕無憂的你」摘下第21屆台新藝術獎之年度大獎後的首次全新創作發表。展覽精選出藝術家過往三年完成的近30件作品，包含外界熟悉的油畫創作以及首次發表的陶土雕塑。展覽訂於2025年10月4日至11月22日之間舉行，並於10月4日(星期六)開展當天下午三點半由藝術家於現場進行導覽，開幕酒會隨後於當日下午4點展開。我們誠摯邀請您的蒞臨。
黨若洪的繪畫創作看似即興率性，其中卻蘊含他日常生活的許多體驗與長年回應時代變動下的生命思維。「金銀島」延續三年前「高枕無憂的你」對台灣島上生存狀態的反思，以寓言手法和語調暗示出這塊土地上持續交織的命運和故事。他借用蘇格蘭作家羅伯·路易斯·史蒂文生的名著《金銀島》，以文學中描述尋寶與廝殺的各種驚險橋段出發，從「島」的意象聯想到當下飄搖不定的世界局勢中的台灣—坐擁豐富寶藏的同時，也因為歷史與地緣政治等多重因素一直在眾多外來勢力與其建構的敘事中拉扯。藝術家由此創作出多幅與「島」相關的豐富意象。展覽同名作品《金銀島》中，黨若洪描繪一個戴著西洋風格帽子的年輕男子划船前行的情景。這位下半身裸露的男子神情有些窘迫，其背後是一位體型高大的修女形象，仿佛在給他指引或者催促，背景裡火紅的天空與墨綠色山丘更凸顯出身不由己，四面八方似乎已被困境環繞的危局。
Mind Set Art Center is honored to present Tang Jo-Hung's fifth solo exhibition, “Treasure Island”. This marks the artist's first major new body of work since winning the 21st Taishin Arts Award Grand Prize in 2023 for his previous solo, “As Your Sleep Worry-Free”. This new exhibition features nearly 30 artworks created over the past three years, including his signature oil paintings and a new series of clay sculptures. The exhibition is scheduled to run from October 4 through November 22, 2025, with an artist-led tour on the opening day, Saturday, October 4, at 3:30 PM, followed by a reception at 4:00 PM. We extend a warm invitation to all of you.
Tang Jo-Hung's paintings, beyond their spontaneity, are deeply infused with his reflection on daily experiences and thoughts on life amid changing times. “Treasure Island” represents a continuation of Tang’s ongoing examination of Taiwan’s existential condition, a process initiated three years ago in his prior exhibition, “As You Sleep Worry-Free”, using allegories and implicit language to hint at the intertwined narratives on this land. Inspired by the tales of treasure hunting and conflicts in Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Tang’s new works draw parallels between the fictional island and the island of Taiwan, which stands at a precarious position in the current global landscape: an island rich in resources yet caught in historical and geopolitical tensions, pulled among external forces and their constructed narratives. The element of “island” has thus become an important motif in Tang’s new paintings. In the titular work, “Treasure Island”, the artist depicts a young man wearing a Western-style hat rowing a boat. He is seen half-naked with an uneasy expression, likely due to the nun-like figure towering over him, sternly urging him forward. Against a backdrop of fiery red skies and dark green hills, the scene emphasizes a sense of entrapment and powerlessness, as though the man is surrounded on all sides by impending crisis.
