『 B I A N C O – 白 』 白色系列作品展


2013.11.08 - 2013.12.01




白,相對於黑通常具有正面的涵義。在西方文化中,白色是最常讓人聯想到純潔、忠貞與新生的顏色。它擁有完美的協調性與和諧感,白色幾乎能與任何顏色做搭配使之更為突出。
在遠古時代,白色是舊石器時代最初使用的顏色之一,有時拿來當作背景色,有時拿來打亮,和黑、紅、黃三色一起運用在他們生動的洞穴壁畫上。
18和19世紀時,白色是巴洛克時期的建築室內裝飾方面最具主導地位的顏色,尤其是之後的洛可可風格更以白色為主色,許多教堂內部的裝飾也以白色為統一的色調。

無印良品的藝術總監—原研哉的著作中有一本名為《白》 ,他認為,白並非指一種顏色,而是可以感覺到白色的「感受性」。「所以我們不需要尋找白,而是要尋找能夠感覺白的感受方式。」
另外《白》裡的文章中提到「多數的卵是白的,不僅白鳥的卵是白的,青鳥、黑鳥甚至鱷魚和蛇的卵都是微白的,現實的生命寄宿在白之中 …」如此敘述著…
這段敘述與部落藝術裡使用白色的象徵是相近的,代表著生命純潔與超自然的力量.


白色在古代和近代的藝術中都佔有舉足輕重的地位,在非洲部落藝術中也是。許多非洲部落文化認為白色是能將自身和超自然連結在一起的顏色,這種跳脫顏色的特殊觀念正體現了白並非只是一種顏色,我們可以靠著其他有形或無形的東西實實在在感受到「白」。白色面具在非洲部落裡是無性別的,它象徵和平與超自然,因此白色是慶典、紀念活動中主要使用的顏色。
非洲部落裡製作面具的目的主要是描寫一個人心靈和精神上的特質,這被認為具有多種保護作用和社會功能。
白色給人的寧靜感與想像空間是最令人著迷的…



『 B I A N C O –WHITE 』 The White Series Exhibition
11/08(Fri) - 12/01(Sun)


As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. In western culture, white is the color most often associated with innocence, loyalty and birth. With its perfect balance and harmony, white goes well with almost any color to make them more arresting.
In ancient world, white was one of the first colors used in the Paleolithic Era; sometimes as a background, sometimes as a highlight, along with black and red and yellow ocher in their vivid cave paintings.
In 18th and 19th century, white was the dominant color of architectural interiors in the Baroque period and especially the Rococo style that followed it in the 18th century. Church's interior decorations were unified by white as well.

The Muji Art Director— Kenya Hara has written a book called "White". In his opinion, white does not refer to a color, but a kind of sensitivity. " Therefore, instead of looking for it, all we have to do is to find a way to feel the white around us." Besides, one of the article in the book mentioned " Most of the eggs are white, like the white birds' and the black birds' even the eggs of crocodiles and snakes are white too. The real life lives in white... "
This description is similar to the significance of white in tribal art which represents the purity of life and the power of supernatural...

The white color is not only meaningful in ancient times and modern times but also in African tribal art. Many African cultures see white as the color that links them to the supernatural, this kind of idea reflects that white is not only a color, we could truly feel it by other material and immaterial things. The white color of the mask is genderless; white is a symbol for peace and supernatural. It is thus the predominating color in celebrations and memorials. In producing a mask, a sculptor's aim is to depict a person's psychological and moral characteristics, rather than provide a portrait, therefore the mask is considered that it contains the protective capability and the social function.

The most fascinating thing of white is its sense of tranquility and it gives us a space to use our imagination.
