『 VENUS BodyMasks 』   Exhibitions


懷孕面具主題展



2026.02.07 - 03.21

































本展以六件 Makonde 懷孕面具為核心,透過「維納斯」這個大眾熟悉的文化意象,重新


引導我們觀看女性身體與生命的美。維納斯所象徵的,不僅是外在形式的和諧與比例,


更是一種對生命、愛與生成的讚頌。




當這些來自非洲部落的身體面具進入現代空間,溫潤的材質、簡潔有力的造型,與建築


秩序的留白形成安靜而優雅的對話。作品不再只是文化背景的呈現,成為空間品味與美


感的象徵,一種關於身體、生命與時間的美好存在。在當代語境中,這些面具邀請觀者


以更開放且細緻的視角,感受跨越文化的美感共鳴。




這些 Makonde 懷孕面具不僅是藝術作品,更是一種能夠與空間共存的美感存在。其造


型純粹而內斂,材質所保留的時間痕跡,為現代空間增添溫度與層次。當作品被置於簡


潔的建築結構之中,面具所呈現的身體曲線與重量感,反而使空間更顯平衡與深度。




對收藏者而言,這不只是對異文化的欣賞,而是一種對「生命之美」的選擇——安靜、不


張揚,卻能長久地與生活共處。作品在空間中不需要被解釋,便自然成為品味與審美修


養的象徵,陪伴日常,也承載時間。





This exhibition centers on six Makonde pregnancy masks and reintroduces the

beauty of the female body and life through the widely familiar cultural image of

“Venus.” Venus represents not only harmony of form and proportion, but also a

celebration of life, love, and creation.



When these body masks from African tribal culture enter a contemporary space, their

warm materials and concise, powerful forms engage in a quiet and elegant dialogue

with the architectural order and surrounding negative space. The works move beyond

cultural representation to become symbols of spatial refinement and aesthetic

sensibility—embodiments of beauty that speak of the body, life, and time. Within a

contemporary context, these masks invite viewers to experience a cross-cultural

resonance through a more open and attentive gaze.



These Makonde pregnancy masks are not merely artworks; they are aesthetic

presences capable of coexisting with space. Their restrained forms and the traces of

time embedded in the material bring warmth and depth to modern interiors. When

placed within clean architectural structures, the bodily curves and sense of weight

expressed by the masks lend the space a heightened balance and quiet profundity.

For collectors, this is not simply an appreciation of another culture, but a conscious

choice in favor of the beauty of life itself—subtle, unassertive, yet enduring. The works

require no explanation to assert their presence; they naturally become markers of

taste and aesthetic cultivation, accompanying daily life while carrying the passage of

time.
