小巴廊致力於推廣部落藝術與藝術，產生更多對話的可能性。希望藉由不同主題的部落藝術展或合作展，多面向的呈現這個令人著迷的藝術領域。
世界上有眾多偉大藝術家 ( 畢卡索(Pablo Picasso 1881-1973)、莫迪里安尼(Amedeo Modigliani 1884-1920)、馬諦斯(Henri Matisse 1869-1954)等 )與民眾深受部落藝術的影響與啟發，他們從中找回那股最純真的感動。
“部落藝術” ( Tribal Art ）在亞洲是非常少見的領域，但在歐美國家卻已經成形有百年以上的歷史，更於國際蘇富比(Sotheby's)、佳士得(Christie's)等拍賣公司也固定有其專拍。
對部落藝術的熱愛，因此一直希望能有更多的人去感受及欣賞這充滿原始創造力的藝術領域。
喜歡部落藝術的人，他們欣賞那股最直接的視覺美，是單純的，也是驚奇的，無論是天馬行空的造型或是樸拙趣味的表現，都充滿著無比讚嘆。
Xiao Balang invites you to embark on a unique journey of artistic discovery—one that expands the possibilities of aesthetic appreciation and art collection. In this thoughtfully curated space, free from external distractions, you can explore and connect with artworks in an intimate and unrestrained atmosphere. Here, art is not just something to observe; it is an experience, a silent conversation, a moment of resonance.
The gallery seamlessly blends dynamic tribal art with modern spatial design, allowing visitors to experience the purity and vitality of indigenous creations in a fresh and unexpected context. Through this fusion, a distinctive aesthetic emerges—one that layers culture, history, and contemporary expression into a unique and immersive encounter.
Dedicated to promoting tribal art, Xiao Balang seeks to spark meaningful dialogues between different artistic disciplines. Through themed exhibitions and collaborative projects, the gallery presents a multi-dimensional exploration of this captivating artistic domain.
For over a century, tribal art has deeply influenced some of the world’s greatest artists—including Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), and Henri Matisse (1869-1954). Their works reflect the raw, unfiltered emotions and striking forms they discovered within indigenous artistic traditions. While tribal art remains a rare and underappreciated field in Asia, it has long been recognized in the West, with dedicated auctions held by prestigious houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
Those who are drawn to tribal art appreciate its direct, visceral beauty—a beauty that is at once simple and astonishing. Whether through its imaginative forms or its unpretentious, rustic charm, tribal art continues to inspire awe and admiration, embodying the essence of pure creativity.
At Xiao Balang, we hope more people can experience and appreciate this boundless, vibrant world of art—one that connects us to our most instinctive and profound artistic sensibilities.
