杜梦堂(上海)荣幸通过「影像纪录」，在艺术家蔡成珌(CHAE Sung-Pil)的导览下介绍此次展览「上善若水 – from the soil」，通过二十件最新布面色粉创作呈现 “一种诗意的，对自然之‘道’的绘画类比”。展览将持续至7月29日。

我个人非常喜欢边界这个词，大部分人认为边界是在区分这与那，但对我来说边界也代表着它们的交汇点。

——  蔡成珌 CHAE Sung-Pil

这份理解与艺术家的个人经历相呼应。自幼学习书法、文人画和东方哲学的蔡成珌于2003年留学法国，在学习造型艺术的同时接触西方哲学。在这样的东西方交汇中，产生了某种全新哲学的表达动机。不难发现，蔡成珌的作品融合了东方哲学与西方表达，而这其中更蕴含了艺术家对本质的追求。

DUMONTEIL is pleased to share with you the artist-guided tour of "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, featuring his last twenty works created with natural pigments on canvas. What Chae does in the virtual space is "a poetic pictorial metaphor to the ‘Tao’ of nature”.  The exhibition is on view till 29 July, 2023.

I really like the word 'boundary'. Most people think 'boundary' is the point that distinguishes this and that, but to me, it is also the point where they meet.

——  CHAE Sung-Pil

This in fact corresponds to the artist's personal experience. Growing up with calligraphy, literati painting, and oriental philosophy, Chae has been living in France since 2003, where he was exposed to Western philosophy while learning Plastic Arts. In such a meeting of East and West, a certain motivation for a new philosophical expression arose. He embodies the artist's quest for the essence while combining Eastern philosophy and Western expression in his work.

当代艺术很大程度上充斥着复杂多样的各种视觉以及琐碎的流行。身处这样的洪流中，相反地，我认为最本质的美在最原始且最根源的地方。

——  蔡成珌 CHAE Sung-Pil

在寻找本质的过程中，“土”成为了蔡成珌作品的核心语言。通过旅行收集而来的土壤，调制成颜料，将它们运用在画布上。土壤作为其作品中使用的材料，不仅是主题，也是一种对概念的表达。

艺术家通过“土”来展现大地的模样，通过作品中出现的大地来叙述有关于“水”的故事。他认为“上善若水”作为最本质性的空间，能够最好地表达“土”和“水”这两种元素，而本次展览「上善若水-from the soil」叙述着关于最理想、最本质的空间的故事。

Contemporary art is largely filled with complex, diverse visual fragments and trivial trends. In the midst of such a torrent, I believe, on the contrary, that the essential beauty lies in the most primitive and rooted place.

——  CHAE Sung-Pil

In the search for the essence, "soil" becomes the artist's essential language — collecting soils through travels, preparing them into pigments, and applying them onto the canvas. Soil, as the material used in Chae's work, represents not only a theme but also an expression of the concept.

The artist represents the earth through 'soil' and tells the story of water through the earth. To him, using "the highest excellence is like water" as the primal space is the best approach to the elements of earth and water. Thus this exhibition starts from the soil and depicts the most predominant ideal space.
