上善若水 - from the soil
2023.06.10 - 2023.07.29
上海市衡山路199号永平里105栋Bldg 105, 199 Hengshan Rd. Shanghai蔡成珌在画布构成的虚拟空间里，让材料、创作过程和最终的呈现协同作用，共同创造 “一种诗意的，对自然之‘道’的绘画类比”。这种接近本源的尝试受到了道家和“五行”的启发，打破了绘画材料、方式与主题间不存在物质关联的惯常，让蔡成珌的作品独立于韩国单色画派和西方抽象表现主义。
"上善若水 - from the soil" (the highest excellence is like that of water), the solo exhibition of newly represented Korean artist CHAE Sung-Pil is on view at DUMONTEIL Shanghai. This is the first solo exhibition in China for Chae, who resides in France, featuring his last twenty works created with natural pigments on canvas. Under the guidance of Eastern philosophies, the artist explores the "dynamism of nature" with soil and minerals guided by the “forces of nature”, while conveying his nostalgic thoughts and feelings for his distant homeland.
What Chae does in the virtual space is "a poetic pictorial metaphor to the ‘Tao’ of nature”, where the synergy of the materials, the process of creation, and the final result take place on the canvas. This attempt of approaching the essence of Nature is inspired by Taoism and the doctrine of the five elements. It builds an unusual connection among materials, techniques, and subject matters, making Chae’s work stand out from both Dansaekhwa (Korean monochrome painting) and Western abstract expressionism.
