本次展覽結合了奈及利亞MUMUYE族及多哥MOBA族的雕像，兩者皆以其簡約和抽象的造型而聞名，幾何形狀和長形比例，展現出一種原始的美感。

在非洲藝術雕塑中，Mumuye雕像是最後被“發現”的雕像之一，Mumuye部落位於尼日利亞東部，他們生活在一個難以進入的地區，直到1960年末才引起外界更廣泛的關注。

雕像被用於占卜和癒合儀式中，以調解爭端並帶來雨水及守護房屋。

Mumuye藝術，輪廓的優雅，厚實肩膀的力量以及帶有頭飾和耳朵放大的緊繃特徵及面部表情，成為這類雕像的風格，直立的雕塑形態透過運動的釋放，近乎舞蹈般的張力以及拉長的造型，從中感受到了與現代藝術的完美聯繫讓人著迷。

Moba部落位於多哥和加納邊界地區，他們的雕像則以其樸素和寫實的風格而聞名。一個圓柱形的軀幹，臉部特徵往往是抽象化的，獨特風格和精神內涵使其成為非洲最簡約的雕塑之一，它們具有保護作用並促進健康和繁榮。

在「抽象造型與精神幾何的邊縁」展覽中，我們從Mumuye和Moba雕像的造型風格欣賞其中獨特藝術美學。 Mumuye雕像以其動態的姿態而Moba雕像則以靜止的姿態，兩者簡約的幾何造型和長形比例，呈現出一種原始、抽象的美感，也反映了各自文化的獨特視角，展現了藝術在形態上的無限可能性。






Exhibition: "Abstract Forms and Spiritual Geometry at the Margins"

This exhibition brings together sculptures from the MUMUYE tribe of Nigeria and the MOBA tribe of Togo, two cultures renowned for their minimalist and abstract forms. Both tribes’ sculptures feature geometric shapes and elongated proportions, creating a raw and primitive beauty that captivates the viewer.

The Mumuye tribe, located in eastern Nigeria, has been relatively unknown until the late 1960s, when the world began to take notice of their unique artistry. The Mumuye sculptures were used in divination and healing rituals, mediating disputes, calling for rain, and protecting homes. The elegant contours, powerful broad shoulders, and the tension in the facial expressions, amplified ears, and headgear create a distinct style. Their upright form exudes a dance-like energy, a dynamic tension that draws a fascinating connection to modern art.

In contrast, the Moba tribe, situated along the border of Togo and Ghana, is known for their simplistic and realistic style. Their cylindrical torso forms, with abstracted facial features, contribute to one of the most minimalist sculptures in African art. These sculptures are believed to have protective functions, promoting health and prosperity.

The exhibition showcases the artistic aesthetics found in the forms of both Mumuye and Moba sculptures. While Mumuye figures convey motion and energy, Moba figures stand in stillness. Despite the differences, both exhibit minimalist geometric shapes and elongated proportions, reflecting a primitive, abstract beauty and offering insight into each culture's unique perspective. This exhibition emphasizes the infinite possibilities of art in its various forms, where abstract and spiritual geometry merge seamlessly.
