expressionistic world of his own by deconstructing artistic form. The artist may speak of his obsession with collecting bits and pieces of the ordinary, but what "Private Museum" has truly questioned and explored is the pursuit of harmony and balance between the formal beauty of "museum" display and ideals of contemporary art. Expressionistic artworks are undoubtedly intimate revelations on the private universe, while "Private Museum" turns this extreme intimacy into "museum" exhibits displayed in the visual world of the viewer, thus demonstrating the profundity and significance of the artist’s sensory exploration. 「私人博物館」系列是呂延翔第一次嘗試以解構形式的方法來形塑自己的完整的寫意世界。藝 術家談及雖是癡於收集日常的零碎,但如何尋找以一種「博物館」陳列的形式之美與當代藝術 理念的契合之平衡點成為「私人博物館」探討的重心。「寫意」中無疑是私密的個人世界,而 將這「無限的私密」以「博物館」的形式陳列在觀者的視覺世界裡,藝術家的此次具有感官性 的探索著實是考究且有意義的。

In the background of "Slide ", there is a colorful area combined in patchwork pattern in geometric shapes situated behind the man dressed in white on the left-hand side, one cannot help to notice the resemblance of the work of Ernst "A Swallow’s Nest" in 1966, does this represent that Hwang has kept a secret space for the great master like Ernst? The mise-en-scène in Hwang Jyi’s painting is filled with theatrical lighting, make-ups and dressings, as if they are presenting a mime show, wearing a mask is one of the typical prop being used in the show; exaggerated expressions are shown upon pure white skin, actors rely heavily on their acting to bring out the show. Even though the painting of “Slide ” is situated in stillness, it is almost possible to see that the slide show could move to the next slide in order to complete the show. Because of a series of irrational combination and fragments of elements are placed in one scene, the painting is open to multiple interpretations.

According to Ju Ming’s teacher, Yuyu Yang once said that “Ju Ming

had been weak when he was young, and suffered from the pain ”, yet these painful experiences made him stronger, as exhibited in his sharpen carvings from his works. Ju Ming believed that both sculpting and practicing Taichi originated from the same source of self-cultivation and self-exploration. From practicing Tai Chi to becoming an artist in sculpting, this journey did not go smoothly, but Ju Ming was able to carve his way out in becoming one of the internationally renowned artists. Ju Ming had held his second exhibition at the Central Art Museum in Tokyo in 1978, in which "Taichi Series " attracted international attention for the first time. The forms of Tai Chi sculptures are straightforward and empowered with force, it is well-balanced. Ju Ming regarded art as "self-cultivation". The artist's sculptures in the Taichi Series perfectly represent his high-level realm of following natural laws in which one shall detach from the surface, leaving materialism behind and focus on the essence of life. 「太極拳」本是一種看似溫柔、能修身養性的運動,太極的精神就在於 能夠體會身體上的變化,柔中寓剛,身體雖有不斷的在變動但心境於一 動一靜之中達到身心合一的狀態且泰然自若。其師楊英風曾表示:「朱 銘自幼體弱多病,並且經歷無數苦難的日子」,然而這些困境使得朱銘 更加茁壯,就如同那銳利的刀工呈現在他的作品之中,對朱銘而言,練 習太極拳和雕塑都同源於自我修煉與探索,朱銘藉由習拳一路到雕刻太 極系列的作品,不僅僅刻寫出他的心路歷程也成功刻出了通往揚名國際 雕刻大師的路。1978年,朱銘二度赴日本東京中央美術館舉辦展覽,他 的「太極系列」首度在國外發表就深獲大家的追捧。太極作品的形象簡 潔有力、剛柔並濟,朱銘曾經將藝術比作「修行」,他的「太極」系列 雕塑作品,完美地體現了藝術家道法自然、物我相忘的高度藝術境界。

The ambience resonating from the central beaded man in "Wandering Man" has a precise depiction of facial features of an almond–shaped eyes, prominent cheekbones, and nose reminiscent of the somewhat expressionist portraits prevalent during the Tang Dynasty in China. Chiu Ya-tsai’s artistic approach have an indefinable quality to them that resembles both Chinese and Western styles. The artist’s paintings are also characterized by effective use of the traditional Chinese

literature who also wrote as a form of self-expression, Chiu was able to condense his feelings into a series of paintings. The individuals shown in these paintings are never wholly broken down by life; although sorrow or sadness may appear on their faces, they always maintain a steady calmness in the face of the problems that the world throws at them, and the overall effect is one of refined, gentlemanly bearing. The artistic lexicon of Chiu Ya-tsai’s paintings reflects in microcosm the life of the artist himself. Through his brushstrokes, Chiu was able to express his own identity, becoming a "storyteller" whose own tale is told through the figures in his portraits. It was precisely this lonely, unique spirit that gave Chiu Ya-tsai’s art its power. 《流浪的男子》的畫面中央是一名蓄鬍男子,杏眼圓睜、顴骨和鼻 部突出,面部表情經過精心描繪,畫風頗似盛行於唐朝的表現派人 像畫。邱亞才的藝術表現手法,隱約具有此類人像畫的特質,將中 國與西方的風格兼容並蓄。他也在畫作中納入傳統中國畫的白描技 法,運用簡單的線條勾勒臉部特徵,既不受形式主義的限制,也不 承載過多的細節,讓畫中的人物自由展現靈魂中的本性。邱亞才的 才氣來自於他的哀愁,他也曾說過畫中人物都是他想像得來;懷才 不遇的藝術家、漂泊浪跡的男子或是失意的商人,這群孤獨的身 影,在在都成了觀者去一探藝術家內心世界的線索。他鍾愛文學, 暢情於寫作,再將他的情感化成一幅幅人物畫,而畫中人物總是不 卑不亢,雖偶有哀傷滿容或是冷靜的悲痛傷感,但卻總是悠悠平靜 的淡然處世,反倒顯得優雅從容。邱亞才的繪畫語言是他周遭生活 的縮影,透過畫筆表述自我,說書人般的講述一篇篇故事,是畫中 人物的風雪,更是邱亞才的獨白,而正是這些孤寂的靈魂,成就了 他的藝術精神。

Chu Teh-Chun abstract paintings are not just a frame for forms and colors, nor are they just a concerto of shades – they may depict the Earth’s liveliness, a circus of movements, the artist’s deep intellectual reflections, or nature’s emotional impact on Chu. Just as the renowned French commentator Pierre Cabanne once wrote, "Abstraction

is not the ends, not even a means, but a process. Teh-Chun is not evading nature or rejecting nature’s realism. Rather, he’s expressing nature with a very sensational language that has always lingered in his mind. " (Cabanne, Pierre, "On Chu Teh-Chun," Solo Exhibition of Chu Teh-chun , Taiwan Rubycon Co., Ueno Royal Museum, 2008, p. 58. Available in Chinese, French, and Japanese, but not English). As a practitioner of western painting well immersed in Chinese culture, Chu Teh-Chun never limited himself to any single cultural framework. In 1955, he traveled to Europe’s capital of art, Paris, and delved into the essence of western art. In particular, he had a good grasp on making his abstract paintings colorful and rich in layers, characteristic of oil paintings. And yet, he did not forget to blend in such Chinese elements as calligraphy’s sense of tempo and depth. In this way, Chu has carved out a new dimension for western abstract art. Cosmology – or the idea of macrocosms – in the East is not limited to the inaccessible world of gods, nor does it say that humankind is placed higher in hierarchy than all other beings. Rather, human beings are treated as part of nature, and live in sync with their natural environment as well as all other organisms. This sort of macrocosmic view has influenced Chu’s attitude deeply. Therefore, in his creative career, Chu has always started the observation of the outer world from his inner vision, noting the natural rhythms and births and deaths from his heart. Then, with oil as his medium, he depicts humankind and the universe as one of the same kind. In 1997, Chu Teh-Chun became the first ethnic Chinese member of L’Institut de France in 250 years for his excellent achievements in art.


Ravenel 55


"Space in the works of Chu Teh-chun is not presented using traditional

perspective; rather, it is what might be called 'manifold space.' The

LUMIÈRE À L'HORIZON CHU TEH-CHUN

main formal elements in Chu's work are small squares created by filling in rich, thick color between the twisting lines. This method of expression can be thought of as constituting the salient characteristic of Chu's new style. The careful selection of color tone and the precise placement of the small squares in the painting create impressive color variation and light effects. This is not only space, but also structure; this combination of space and structure can be seen in almost every painting by Chu Teh-chun, and is one of the chief features of his work. " This perceptive analysis of the artistic style of Chu Teh-chun is by Maurice Panier, the "guardian angel of modern art," who was the first to "discover" Chu Teh-chun. Taking up the point about space and structure made by Panier, Chu Teh-chun has never allowed himself to be restricted by material space in the composition of his paintings. The structure of the images presented in his works, and his vigorous use of dots and lines, are all the product of careful reflection and rigorous compositional planning; what this creates is a kind of "purposeful" freedom. The crisscrossing of horizontal and vertical lines, the ordered calligraphic lines, and the brilliant utilization of oils – which is at the same time random and controlled – present an immense, all-encompassing visual world, and create on the canvas the boundless reaches of the cosmos. He once pointed out that only after his sixties could he be comfortable a n d s k i l l e d e n o u g h t o c re a t e p a i n t i n g s h e w a s s a t i s f i e d w i t h . "Compared to young people, the elderly own the most affluent

spiritual resources, with lengthy life experiences and memories. Since the 80’s, I have been painting my own memory and journeying within. " said Chu when speaking of his mindset in creation. Memory hides in the depths of the mind. Like lava from the center of the Earth, memory accumulates its energy over time. Although buried in a hidden bottom layer, it is a surging and passionate spiritual core that blazes with an incomparable flame. Facing the canvas, the painter can thus manifest the light of memory inside him, which is also the radiance you and I share. This is why his paintings always touch people’s hearts and stimulate the deepest emotions. Although inspired by Western abstract expressionist art, Chu has always had a high degree of respect for Chinese landscape painting during the Tang and Song dynasties. He also enjoys reading Tang poetry and Song Ci (a poetic meter) to cultivate his personality. Chu perfectly combines modern abstract painting with poetry, painting and artistic conception, embodying the ancient saying that "painting dwells in poetry as poetry exists in painting." He is called "the Song painter of the 20th century." Chu holds a habit of listening to classical music when creating his works. Following the rhythm of the musical notes, he expresses a kind of musical element and spirituality on his canvas. The soul–stirring emotion surges and falls just like individual movements in a symphony. "Lumière à l'horizon" Chu uses broad, sweeping brushstrokes to create a grey and green background, while the center of the canvas

EFFUSIONS HEUREUSES CHU TEH-CHUN Chu Teh-chun was born in Jiangsu in 1920. Chu arrived in Paris in 1955 and experienced the city's abundance of contemporary art in person, especially the retrospective exhibition of Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955) at the Musée de l'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1956. It opened for him another window of free expression. The exhibition, moreover, became the wedge that would open the way to his artistic pinnacle. His early abstract works were filled with dark tones and strong tensions. However, clear color blocks, calligraphic line, and straightforward, solid composition have been the constant characteristics running through his works in different periods. A man of talent still needs a wise headhunter to discover his gift. After Chu entered the Paris art circle, he signed a six-year contract with Galerie Henriette Legendre, which was run by the guardian of modern art, Maurice Panier. The gallery successively introduced him to the world and made him an important member of the School of Paris. Receiving various invitations for exhibitions around the world, Chu enjoyed his success and led a happy life with his family. His style, meanwhile, became even more mature: his smooth brushstrokes and ethereal air surged and swirled with an imposing manner. On his canvas, he perfectly combined the artistic conception and the solid brushwork that are emphasized in Chinese poetry and painting. At the age of 62, the Musée des Beaux Arts André Malraux in Le Havre, France, hosted his first large retrospective exhibition. Five years later, he returned to Taiwan and held an important retrospective exhibition at the National Museum of History. "Effusions heureuses" exhibits the sophistication of composition honed by Chu Teh-chun over decades of abstract exploration. With ethereal sweeping strokes of white juxtaposed with opaque forms of darkened hues, the artist has created a sense of depth which recalls the construction of landscape within this composition. In 1997, Chu was elected as a member of l'Institut des Beaux-Arts de l'Académie Française. After 2000, in his eighties, the master's abundant creativity did not slacken. His free, artistic expression that seemed to be accumulated from past glories once again created a new dimension in abstract painting. Chu, who lives in France for almost sixty years, still maintains his Eastern soul and humanistic spirit. In the European art circle of "Lyrical Abstract" that flourished after WWII, he was praised for his unique personal style fused with his intrinsic grounding in traditional Chinese art, as well as for his solid painting skill. He is hailed as one of the best Chinese abstract masters in the 20th century. Since he was well versed in calligraphy, one of the characteristics of his paintings is the use of brush strokes. He remembered the words from ancient painters, saying that the function of a brush is to make things stands out from a chaotic world. His brush has a fluid rhythm, creating

PLUM BLOSSOMS PANG JIUN

"Plum Blossoms" testifies to Pang Jiun’s ingenious depiction of a romantic scenery of delicate blossoming spring florets rendering in various tones of magenta and plum that intricately laces across the canvas as it contrasts beautifully with the blue and whimsical blues of the brushes from which the blossoming branches sprouts from. It simultaneously signifies the arrival of spring, the swirling pathway of the bridge in the background appears and disappears as the branches of the blossoming trees in the foreground sway and move ever so slightly against the naturalistic spring breeze, creating a boundless visual illusion in various tones of grey that stimulates one’s imagination. It entices one to ponder upon the beauty of mother nature as the water sparkles and reflects a mirror image of the mountain tops nearby. Pang Jiun imbibes and transforms the realist tradition and a classical heritage of literati painting in deriving an artistic vocabulary that is uniquely his through his magnificent use of the color palette. Pang once posits "The sceneries of China are encompassed by majestic mountains

and profound waters, exalted yet ethereal in their misty grey tones. I was enlightened as to why texture strokes are an integral part of Chinese painting while I was sketching on Huangshan, but also realized that the true difficulty lay in the representation of these transient greys. The landscapes I painted during the Cultural Revolution were appreciated for their muted color; back then, I was known as Pang Jiun, the man who drew in greys. This was because my contemplations on China’s magnificent sceneries convinced me that gradient greys were the only colors that could truly embody the poeticism and ephemerality of Chinese verse as well as the diffidence and restraint of our profound, hidden emotions. These are all manifestations of the same spirituality. " 《春江花開時》以深深淺淺的紫紅、桃紅細細描繪出春天盛開的桃林, 顯現出龎均的妙筆生花,好一處詩意風光。桃枝纖細交錯,橫過畫布, 襯著後頭瀟灑恣意的藍色筆觸,盛放的桃枝正是由此冒出,同時也象徵 春天降臨。背景中一座曲橋掩掩映映,前景中開花的桃枝倚著自然主義 的春風搖曳,創造出一片無垠的、深淺灰色調子的視覺幻象,讓觀者浮 想連翩。水光瀲灩,映出附近山峰的倒影,讓人忍不住深思自然之美。 龎均汲取寫實主義及文人畫的傳統又加以轉化,藉由對色彩的高妙運用 鎔鑄出一套獨樹一格的藝術語彙。龎均曾說「大陸是屬於大山大水的情 景,有一種灰調子,我在黃山寫生時就體驗到為什麼國畫有皴法的產 生,但還有一個難題,就是在這個灰調子的表現上。我在文革時的風景 畫就是因為這個灰色調的表現而被人喜歡。大家都知道有一個畫灰調子 的龎均。那時對於大陸的大山大水的觀察,我就覺得必須是灰調子,因 為這也應驗了在中國詩詞裡的韻味和飄渺,和中國人所隱藏的情感收斂 深沉,這都是同一個精神性。」

Gu was born in Shanghai in 1955. In 1979, China of universities after the Cultural Revolution. Gu was admitted to the Zhejiang School of Arts as one of the first graduate students on Chinese painting and became a disciple of landscape master Lu Yanshao. Gu was greatly influenced by Lu’s profound knowledge regarding classical literature and masterly calligraphic skills. Many of his calligraphic and cultural symbols in his later creations were drawn from the influence of his teacher. However, he was not just inspired by Chinese classical culture. At graduate school, he read many books on Western philosophy, aesthetics and religion, especially those by Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Freud, which had profound influences on his artistic thinking. Showing the inspirations derived from books using symbolism and imitating Western modern art were common practices in the art circle during that period. However, Gu surpassed his contemporaries in terms of his artistic notions. He tried to break away from his past practices of referring to Western modern art to attack Chinese painting, and began to re-examine Chinese classical traditions. It was not easy for him to preserve independent thinking in the dominant mainstream of Western art.


Ravenel 129


In the early 1980s, the beauty of Chinese characters opened up a new world for Gu. Chinese characters – or to be more precise, Han characters – have played an important role in Chinese history and culture. In Han history, controlling the power of writing has always been the proud prerogative among the literate elites as well as a crucial role for the Han to assimilate the minority groups. Han characters have become incomparable writing symbols due to their deconstructive features and distinctive formation, possessessing both sounds and shapes. Over the long history of the development of Han characters, scholars have striven to study and research the changes of fonts. As a result, during the "anti-tradition" art trend in the mid-1980s, it was expected to see works that criticized and even opposed Han characters. Because of his experiences in writing posters during the Cultural Revolution, studying Chinese calligraphy at graduate school and reading Western philosophies, Gu was able to discover a space outside the existing meanings of Chinese characters. Among those discoveries, the recreations of seal script have been the center of his artistic creation over the years. Seal script is an official script from ancient China that preserves many pictograms. Because people found it difficult to write and recognize seal script, it was gradually replaced by other writing styles. To Gu, the inexplicableness of seal script allowed more room for imagination. He "re-created" seal script, forcing the meaning of the characters to be dissolved while the pictographic function of those characters make them look familiar, and there began to form a delicate and tricky connection between the works and the viewers. In his works "Mythos of Lost Dynasties," the pseudo seal script created by Gu was always the center of his paintings, abruptly protruding from the void ink wash background with powerful visual impacts. The re-constructed, meaningless characters question the authority of the traditional characters. From a different angle, the Chinese also asked the question about the inheritance of traditional culture in the new art trend. Critic Huang Zhuan once commented on Gu’s artistic achievements, saying, "His status in the history of contemporary

Chinese art was grounded on his two tasks: the comprehensive criticisms and continuous artistic experiments on his native culture and Western culture. The critical reconstruction of Chinese native culture was the point of departure and the core content of his tasks. " From 1983 to 1986, in the works of "Mythos of Lost Dynasties" created in Zhejiang School of Art, deconstructed and reconstructed seal script characters were often shown in the form of Chinese calligraphy. Since the mid-1990s, Gu began to combine his pseudo characters with traditional ink wash landscape. Gu’s inexplicable "simplified characters," in combination of the curves, shading and splash ink, formed into a unique artistic presentation, reflecting the complicated tradition and history with a delicate formation of Chinese characters. The deconstructed characters overturned traditional ideas and destroyed conventional systems. Such an artistic enquiry on characters and pictograms bore a striking proximity to the works by the U.S. Pop artist Edward Ruscha, only that Ruscha paid his

The seemingly familiar images are challenging people’s understanding of traditional Chinese painting. Moving to the U.S. in 1987, Gu became more liberal in terms of his cultural reception and artistic expression. He also expanded the depth and width of the cultural connotation in his "Mythos of Lost Dynasties" series. From the artistic exploration that extended to the writing experiment in early 1980s, he once again combined

CHEN YIFEI

(Chinese, 1946 - 2005)

Zhou Village Oil on canvas 100 x 150 cm Signed lower right Chen Yifei in Chinese and English PROVENANCE: Private Collection, Asia

Born to a family of scholars in Zhenhai, Province of Zhejiang, in 1946, Chen Yifei demonstrated strong interests in religious painting, sculpture and the pipe organ while he was young. He graduated from Shanghai Fine Arts School in 1965 and was later recruited into Shanghai Oil Painting Sculpture Institute as principal of oil painting. In 1980, Chen traveled to the U.S. for further studies in art, and obtained an MFA (Master of Fine Arts) four years later. In 1984, Chen created "Memory of Hometown," an oil painting that depicts the renowned Twin Bridges of Zhouzhuang and which was later exhibited in a New York gallery owned by Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, along with

37 other oil canvasses. Hammer purchased "Memory of Hometown" afterwards and presented it to Deng Xiaoping as a symbol of friendship, cooperation and peace between the U.S. and China as embodied by the Twin Bridges. In 1985, it was chosen as the first-day cover of the United Nation postage stamp. Since then, a growing group of international

陳逸飛 周莊 油彩 畫布 100 x 150 cm 簽名右下:Chen Yifei 陳逸飛 來源: 私人收藏,亞洲

connoisseurs have come to know the graceful beauty and rural simplicity of Zhouzhuang old town. As one of the first privately-financed Chinese students to have studied in the U.S., Chen was able to pursue his master’s degree in art at Hunter College, New York. Choosing to major in oil painting, he specialized in portraits and earned a living by repairing and selling paintings in his spare hours. During his time in the U.S., Yang Mingyi sent photographs he had taken of Zhouzhuang to Chen by mail, and advised him to draw inspiration from this poetic river town. In the spring of 1984, Chen flew to Zhouzhuang for sketches. At that time, the highway from Kunshan to Zhouzhuang was not yet completed and the only entryway into the town was by water, so Chen rented a boat that carried him via Chenmu to the town of Zhouzhuang. "This is indeed a place of otherworldly beauty, more

ethereal than I could ever imagine, " exclaimed Chen on his first ever visit to Zhouzhuang. Owing to the very short period of stay he could afford, Chen was unable to complete sketches of all the scenes he admired, which was why he had resort to the most convenient way to capture its beauty–photography. Under Chen’s magical brushstrokes, photographic images of Zhouzhuang in black and white transformed into dreamy water town of vivid, resplendent color. Not only did he triumph at his first exhibition featuring the scenery of Zhouzhuang, he also developed a curious, inexplicable sense of intimate familiarity towards the previously unknown river town.

Ridiculousness and sarcasm can be found in most paintings of Ouyang Chun. Ouyang believes "reality and fantasy overlap in everyone's world everyday, it is

happening in the human society all the time; hence ridiculousness is meant to be the theme of this world ". Without any deliberate mystification, his works are not lack of intensions: the bright colors and childlike raw strokes, no signs of repeated symbols or similar pictures; his paintings are vibrant with fascination and emotional appeal, breathing out childhood delight. While communicating with the public through innocent and emotional drawings, the artist himself has a relatively complicated life experience and redundant rational thinking of art career. Ouyang dropped out high school and came into contact with people in all walks of life, including many low lives and hooligan which later became the typical figure of evil in his art works. 歐陽春的繪畫,作品主題大多與荒謬、諷刺分不開。歐陽春認為「真實和虛假的重 疊每天在每個人的世界裡呈現,在人的集體社會中演繹,所以荒誕註定就是這個世 界的內容」。他的作品既沒有深不可測,也不膚淺,鮮豔的色彩,兒童般稚拙的線 條,沒有重複性的符號,沒有相似的畫面,卻充滿了無窮的感染力,帶給觀者童真 的樂趣。 在以天真與感性的繪畫吸引公眾的同時,藝術家卻有相對複雜的生活經歷、對藝術 之路有過多理性的思考。他在中學時放棄學業,並曾經和社會各階層的人相處以汲 取更豐富的生活經驗,而這些人在歐陽春日後的作品中化身為罪惡的代表。

French artist Paul Aïzpiri is known for his use of brilliant, vibrant color. His inherent optimism and acute color sensation have empowered him to create countless works of renown over the course of his long artistic career. Unlike the profound contemplation and introspection often found in the works of Nordic artists, what Aïzpiri’s works reveal are his appreciation of and exaltation in the beauty of life. His recent works gravitate toward motifs of children, bicycles, airplanes, birds, fish and the sun. Manifestly, a new artistic style is coming into being as the artist’s mind flies and frolics gleefully over the skies of Paris, Saint-Tropez and Venice. The world of dreams extends into infinity and is saturated with the artist’s playful imagination. In a world interwoven with the brightness of color, we are gently embraced by the warmth of sunshine, surrounded and permeated by the artist’s great passion for nature and love for his family. Created in the 1960s, "Musicien" is the perfect embodiment of the artist’s powerful individual style. The rich composition is filled with bright, vivid colors. The cello at the center acts as the visual divide, on either side of which two Jazz musicians improvise upon the street, their figures attaining a happy balance upon the canvas. The impasto technique is employed upon the musicians’ clothing and also achieves perfect symmetry in terms of color and thickness. The functionality of lines as elements of composition is weakened as blocks of color naturally delineate object contours. The garden railings on the left and street lights on the right sides of the canvas occupy the remaining space and enrich overall impressions, creating an artwork of exquisite detail and intense decoration. Aizpiri’s passion for nature and families

are evident in his artworks. The bold brushstrokes and the bright colored palette he brandishes in his vibrant figurative paintings are symbolic of his joy and satisfaction in life. His recent works are painted poetry filled with a glow of love with such motifs as children, bicycles, airplanes, birds, fish and the sun, flying over the skies of Paris, Saint Tropez and Venice . 法國藝術家艾斯比利以其明快鮮豔的色彩著稱,與生俱來的樂觀性格與敏 銳的色彩感,在多年的藝術實踐中創作佳作無數。不同與北歐藝術家的深 沉與反思,艾斯比利的作品中更多的是對美好生活的體驗和讚美。早期作 品中特殊的灰鬱色調裡厚實的色塊,流露戰後氛圍下對生命與日常生活的 思索和美感體驗。隨著其漸漸明亮的調色盤,艾斯比利描繪著鍾愛的主 題:馬戲團小丑、女人、花卉、威尼斯…,玫瑰紅、明黃、地中海藍…勾 以簡約化的輪廓線條,耀動晶瑩有如穿透彩繪玻璃灑落的陽光,形成馬賽 克般絢麗的畫面;艾斯比利就像一個充滿好奇心的頑童,睜大雙眼睛驚奇 地欣賞著夢境般的世界。 近來作品的主題較多地傾向於兒童、自行車、飛機、鳥、魚、太陽等等, 新的畫風正在形成,它表現為在巴黎、聖特羅佩以及威尼斯的上空自由地 輕舞嬉戲;夢的世界向寬廣處延伸,其中充滿了畫家內心的愉悅想像。在 由鮮豔的色彩所交織而成的艾斯比利的世界裡,我們被陽光滿溢的溫暖柔 和地包裹其中,真實地感受到畫家對自然和家人的一顆無比熱愛的心。作 於1960年代的作品《爵士表演》帶有藝術家強烈的個人風格。畫面構圖豐 滿,色彩鮮明。兩位元爵士音樂家在街頭即興表演,畫面中心的大提琴分 割畫面,兩位元音樂人平衡地佔據左右畫幅。兩位音樂人的衣著部分的描 繪以塊面,厚塗的顏料左右對應,均衡畫面。而線條在構圖中的作用被弱 化,色塊的組合自然地勾勒出物件的形體。左側的花園欄杆,與右側的街 燈填補畫面空白,使得畫面豐富,細節豐滿,裝飾感極強。

body. In retrospect, Bernard Katherine maintained a deep-rooted love for his country and particularly for the Drôme. The artist studied magnificent painting rendered primarily using brushes and palette knives with oil on canvas filled with rich colours and textures to honour his poetic subjects as he travelled extensively around the world in search of inspirations for his artistic productions. In 1997, the Musée de Valence dedicated a retrospective of the artist’s work.

LA SEINE À PARIS RAOUL DUFY

"La Seine à Paris" testifies to the exquisiteness of Raoul Dufy’s delicate, script-like brushstrokes and muted palettes display the influence of Impressionist artists such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. Beginning from the 1920s and onwards, Dufy frequently visited Venice, Nice and le Midi and painted regattas and landscapes in brilliant colors with calligraphic brushwork aligned to the present lot. In particular, it features the sparkling views of the French Provence of a classic reclining nude with her left elbow resting gracefully on a vessel against a series of skeletal structures and tower in the background. It is interesting to note that Dufy’s skeletal structures are arranged with foreshortened perspective and the quick application of thin washes of color in tones. In this regard, the bright cool tones of green contrasts with the warmth of the red on the body of the reclining figure resulting in a balanced composition. It is apparent that the decorative and illustrative nature of the artist’s work followed several traditions of Modernism, coupled with the profound influence that Henri Matisse had on the artist when Dufy first saw Henri Matisse’s Luxe Calme et Volupte at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905 became a revelation that directed the young artist towards Fauvism. Dufy’s later work that embraced a boldness of colors and lines derived elements from his explorations on Fauvism and Cubism. In retrospect, Dufy was a native of Le Havre, France and enrolled in the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and studied for four years under Bonnat on scholarship. The artist often painted near the vicinity of Le Havre, and, in particular, on the beach at Sainte Adresse. In 1911, he established a small factory and designed and printed fabrics for the couturier Poiret. Dufy also acquired a reputation as an illustrator for beautiful book illustrations with woodcuts, etchings and lithographs and painted murals for public buildings. He also worked with different mediums such as ceramics and textiles. Dufy completed, a vast mural "La Fée Electricité" in celebration of the electrical technology for the Exposition Internationale in 1937. Dufy was awarded with the International Grand Prize for his commission for the 26th Venice Biennale in 1952.

By the end of the 1920s, he had produced many works with violent or erotic themes, and created a number of paintings in reaction to the Spanish Civil War.

From the end of the war to the 1970s, abstract expressionism, pop art, photorealism, conceptual art, land art, and other art styles swept the art world. European artists were mostly immersed in post-war reflections. Influenced by consumer culture, American art emphasized worldliness. Yet Masson persisted with his style

ROSES D'INDE DES REBATTIÈRES


BERNARD CATHELIN

"Roses d'Inde des Rebattières" exudes extraordinary romantic nostalgia through the use of a warm palette of amber, beige, yellow and autumn greens. The light plain on the left constitutes a source of light akin to the majestic warm sun rays beaming into a comforting home as it illuminates the naturalistic form of the delicate florets and leafy sprigs of the bouquet resting elegantly on its vase, while the defining lines on the color plain on the right cutting perpendicularly across the canvas connotes dimension and contrasts greatly with the sinuous lines defining the shape of the vase below the naturalistic arrangement of the bouquet. The present lot features a notable elegant temperament beautifully imbued with the poetic sentiments of Cathelin’s love for beautiful scenery of nature. The artist pays tribute to this wonderful world through his use of colors and means of a semi-figurative form to extenuation the naturalistic beauty of his subject matter, his palettes are extremely rich and often exhibit colors and quantities from the countries he had visited in the past, including Drôme, Mexico, India and Japan. Cathelin’s works are akin to a beautiful Japanese Haiku poem of great poetic sentiments. In retrospect, Bernard Cathelin was born in Paris in 1919. Throughout his life, he has maintained a deep-rooted love for his country and especially for Drôme, the homeland of his mother. Cathelin have studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris and further explored on the techniques of painting under the guidance of M. Brianchon. Cathelin has exhibited in the Salon d' Automne, Salon des Tuileries, Salon de la Jeune Peinture among other established galleries globally including the United Kingdom, United States, Switzerland, Canada, Japan and Shanghai. In particular, the Musée de Valence dedicated a retrospective of the artists’ works in 1997. In 2000, the Shanghai Art Museum in China organized a retrospective exhibition presenting 40 years of Bernard Cathelin’s works in celebration of his contributions. Cathelin has received many awards through out the years as an affirmation to his artistic talents. 《萬壽菊》一畫融入溫暖的琥珀色、米色、黃色,以及略帶秋意的黃綠色,散發濃厚的懷舊與浪漫氣息。左 半部明亮而簡純,彷彿可以看見和煦的陽光,在溫韾的家中灑落耀眼光輝,照亮花瓶中一束優雅佇立的花。 這束花有雅緻的小花和蓊鬱的嫩枝,自然而生動。畫布右方描繪樸素的垂直色塊,將畫面一分為二,營造出 空間感;與之對比的是以彎曲線條勾勒的花瓶,上方插著生動、自然的花束。這幅畫高貴且優雅,濃厚的詩 意展現出卡多蘭對自然美景的熱愛。畫家運用色彩和半具象的畫風,突顯出題材的自然之美,向美好的世界 致上敬意。他的用色非常豐富,對於造訪過的國家,經常將當地的代表色融入畫作,這些地方包括法國的德 龍省、墨西哥、印度和日本。卡多蘭的畫作就像日本的俳句,饒富詩意。 卡多蘭於1919年出生法國巴黎,終身保有對國家的熱愛,對母親的出生地德龍省,更是鍾愛有加。卡特 蘭曾就讀法國國立巴黎高等裝飾藝術學院,而後拜於比安宋(M. B r i a n c h o n)門下,繼續鑽研繪畫技巧。 卡特蘭的畫作曾在世界各地的畫廊展出,包括秋季沙龍(S a l o n d'A u t o m n e)、杜樂麗沙龍(S a l o n d e s Tuileries)、青年畫家沙龍展(Salon de la Jeune Peinture),以及英國、美國、瑞士、加拿大、日本、上 海的知名畫廊。其中,法國的瓦朗斯博物館(Musée de Valence)更在1997年舉辦卡多蘭回顧畫展。上海 美術館也在2000年籌辦回顧展,蒐羅卡多蘭四十年來的畫作,以紀念他對藝術的貢獻。卡多蘭多年來獲獎無 數,藝術才華深受各界肯定。

NEVER LAZY IN LOVE SUPAKITCH

SupaKitch, a Parisian-born artist who has worked many metropolitan cities including Paris, Biarritz, Los Angeles and New York. The artist’s passion for street art, mangas, graffiti and tattoos and the hip-hop culture are elements that appear to be omnipresent in his works. In the 1990s, he met fellow graffiti artist Hazy and music producer Eone, which inspired him to explore works combining various techniques of painting, photography and graphics in exploring the theme of music. The present lot "Never Lazy in Love" is strongly infused with musicality and rhythm entices one to explore SupaKitch’s animatic fairy tale world, whereby the red panda, fox like creature appears to be suspending mid-air below a cloud of intensely colored foliated blossoming florets and leafy sprigs among animatic heads. The artist’s has created "a universe with Asian influences, pop-romantic and musical where anthropomorphic creatures such as the Supanimal, who looks like a red panda, a fox and a bird, are used as metaphors." Through these miraculous and enticing depictions, SupaKitch created a world where the characters are regarded as an extension of himself that represent the different aspects of his personalities. The representation of these imageries further conveys the artist’s innermost emotions. In this regard, SupaKitch likens painting as a process that parallels expressing his emotions in his private diary, where beneath these imagines lie the different emotions of the artists. SupaKitch has collaborated with brands such as Sixpack, Brendan Monroe, Wayne Horse, Koralie where the artist painted murals in the brand’s various shops across Europe, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, Paris, San Sebastian and Lisbon. SupaKitch had his first major solo show based upon an original concept he called “Ubiquity in 2007. He has also been exhibiting worldwide in galleries in Paris, Taipei and Miami. 市霸奇奇出生於巴黎,曾經在許多大都會進行創作,包括法國的巴黎和比亞里茨,以及 美國的洛杉磯和紐約。他特別鍾情街頭藝術、漫畫、塗鴉、刺青和嘻哈文化,在他的作 品中,這些元素無所不在。1990 年代,他認識了同期的塗鴉藝術家 H a z y 和音樂製作人 Eone,啟發他的靈感,開始在創作中納入各種繪畫、攝影、製圖技巧,在創作的同時探索 音樂之美。 《愛不偷懶》極富音樂性和律動感,讓人迫不及待想一探市霸奇奇打造的夢幻王國。紅色 的生物,似貓熊、似狐狸,漂浮空中,上方一大束繁花與青葉,色彩斑斕,還有漫畫人物 的頭像穿插其中。藝術家營造出一個融合亞洲元素、流行浪漫和音樂劇的世界,這裡有擬 人化的卡通動物「S u p a n i m a l」,看起來像紅色的貓熊,像狐狸,又像小鳥。在市霸奇奇 的創作中,擬人動物具有象徵性的作用。這些超自然的迷人角色,其實是市霸奇奇自我的 延伸,代表藝術家不同的個性。這些造型的象徵更傳達出藝術家的最深層情緒。市霸奇奇 將繪畫的過程比擬為在個人日記上抒發情感,隱藏在這些圖像底下的,正是藝術家的喜怒 哀樂。 市霸奇奇曾經與Sixpack、Brendan Monroe、Wayne Horse、Koralie 等品牌合作,為他們 的商店創作壁畫,足跡遍布歐洲各地,包括德國杜塞道夫、哥本哈根、巴黎、聖塞巴斯提 安和里斯本。市霸奇奇個人的首場重要畫展於2007年舉辦,並以他所謂的「無所不在」作 為畫展的原創概念。他的作品曾在世界各地的藝廊展出,包括巴黎、台北、邁阿密等地。

TRANSACTION RULES FOR ART (HONG KONG)

The following provisions are entered into by and between Ravenel Auction Hong Kong Limited, , as the auctioneer (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) and the Seller (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”). This Agreement is also entered into by and between the Company as the agent of the Seller and the Buyer (hereinafter referred to as the “Buyer”). The Prospective Buyer, the Buyer and the Seller must carefully review and completely agree all provisions hereunder and any revisions from time to time. The Buyer should pay special attention to Article 2, Section 5which provides limitations as to the legal responsibilities of the Company. Article 1.Definition Some of the phrases commonly seen herein are defined as follows: 1. “The Buyer” shall mean highest bidder accepted by the Company. 2. “The Prospective Buyer” shall mean any potential bidder willing to attend the auction sale hosted by the Company. 3. “The Seller” shall mean the mandator who provides the Lot and agrees to appoint the Company as its exclusive agent to sell the Lot at the Auction and participate, and cooperate, in exhibitions prior to the Auction if so required by the Company. 4. “The Lot” shall mean the item delivered to the Company to be sold in an auction, especially the single or multiple pieces of items numbered in the catalogue. 5. “Hammer price” shall mean the highest bid with respect to one particular auction item accepted by the auctioning party. 6. “The Buyer’s Premium paid by the Buyer” shall mean the fee based on a certain percentage of the Hammer price paid by the Buyer; the percentage shall be as prescribed in Article 2, Section 4a. 7. “The Reserve Price” shall mean the lowest price agreed by the Company and Seller. The Lot cannot be sold at a price lower than such price. 8. “Counterfeit” shall mean the Lot constitutes imitation and the original concept of the imitation and its overall execution result in fraud to cause deception in connection with the author, history, year, age, culture or origin of the Lot, for which the accurate description is not reflected in the catalogue and the value of the Lot on the auction day is far less than the value it should have according to the description in the catalogue. Therefore, no auction item will become a counterfeit as a result of any damage and/or any repairing in any manner (including repaints). 9. "Insured amount" shall mean the value of the insurance purchased for the Lot which the Company considers necessary under its absolute power from time to time (regardless whether such insurance is purchased by the Company). Article 2.The Buyer 1. The Company as the Agent The Company, as the auctioning party, shall act as the agent of the Seller. Except otherwise provided, items successfully sold in the auction held by the Company shall be bound by the agreement made by and between the Seller, through the agency of the Company, and the Buyer. 2.Prior to the Auction a. Authentication We strongly recommend that the prospective buyers conduct their own authentication for the items they are interested in bidding prior to the auction. We provide no guarantees to the buyer including but without limitations whether the Lot is a counterfeit or the authentication of the Lot’s certificates (with the exception of the guarantee with regard to counterfeits as defined in Article 1 of the Transaction Agreement). b. Important Notice Attention, the Prospective Buyers: As far as possible, the descriptions of auction items will mention obvious defects of the items; however, they do not necessarily include all flaws, defects, or incomplete aspects. The Company does not guarantee that the Lots on auction are in good working condition and the descriptions in the catalogue must not be construed as implying such. The description of the auction items also do not imply that the items have not gone through readjustment or repair or allude anything about the current state or storage conditions of the items. Any omission in the catalogue description regarding the current condition or the appraisal of defects in the items by no means represent that those items are in good condition, function normally, or that there will be any free repair or replacement of parts. We strongly recommend the Prospective Buyers to personally view the items for which they plan to bid before the auction itself. If a Prospective Buyer is unable to view an item for whatever reason, then in our role as a service provider, we would be more than happy to offer our opinion of an item’s special characteristics and current condition. However, the Company is not a professional restorer of the Lots; therefore, any description in the catalogue or any statement provided by the Company is purely the Company’s subjective opinion and not a statement of fact, not for representations or warranties.

Many auction items fail to maintain their perfect condition because of time and other environmental factors. Some of the explanations in the catalogue or the authentication opinions will state defects and/or the repair background of the Lots. Such information is meant for reference only. Missing information in the statements does not mean the Lot has no defects or has not been repaired. Any statement of one particular defect does not mean there is no any other defect. e.

In addition, the Buyer’s payment can only be refunded when the following terms are met: 1.

6.拍賣安排 a.本公司對目錄內拍賣品之描述與圖示方式、鑑定意見書、拍賣地點與方式、讓何人進場 競投以及競投價之接受、是否應尋求專家意見,以及將物品合併或分開拍賣等均有完 全之決定權。 b.任何估價,不論口頭或書面,均只屬意見,而非拍賣品最終可賣得的價錢之保證。 c.未得本公司事前書面同意,賣家不可撤回拍賣品之委託。但本公司保留隨時因後述原因 而撤回、中止或終止拍賣品委託授權之權利。此等原因為: (1)本公司對拍賣品之界定或真實性或上述第5a、 b或c項所指之承諾之準確性有懷疑; 或 (2)有任何違反本業務規則之情況;或 (3)本公司認定將拍賣品納入或繼續執行拍賣並不適當者。 d. 撤銷委託或授權條款 (1)非經本公司事前書面同意,賣家不得撤回、中止或終止對於標的作品之委託或授予 本公司之權利。 (2)賣家依前項規定撤回、中止或終止拍賣品之委託或授與本公司之權利者,委託者除 應對本公司負損害賠償或經濟上損失賠償責任外,尚須支付委託底價之40%作為懲 罰性違約金付與本公司。 (3)如賣家有任何違約情事,本公司有權隨時終止委託事項,賣家須支付本公司所有之 前為履行委託或授權工作所產生之費用及開支。 7. 拍賣守則 a. 本公司將會參照底價進行拍賣品之拍賣程序。底價不得高於拍賣目錄所印登載估價之 下限,但如所同意之底價為港幣以外之貨幣,並因協定底價之日與成功拍賣之日上匯 率波動而致底價高於估價下限,則不在此限。在此情況下,除本公司另行同意外,底 價須為相等於以緊接成功拍賣前一個工作天之收市匯率計算之港幣款項。 b. 如競投價不能達到底價,本公司在任何情況均不負有任何責任,但本公司有權決定將 拍賣品以低於底價拍賣。如本公司如此將拍賣品拍賣,本公司將有責任向賣家支付成 交價與底價之差額。 c. 賣家不得以自己或第三人名義隨意哄抬競投價格,不得以自己或第三人名義參與競標 拍賣品,亦不得聘請任何人代賣家參與競投,惟本公司有權代理賣家參與競投。 8.成功拍賣後 a. 結算 成功拍賣後,本公司協助賣方要求買家最遲於成功拍賣日後7日內全數付款。在買家付 款後,除非本公司收到通知謂拍賣品為膺品,否則,本公司會於成功拍賣日期後60個 工作天,將一筆相等於成交價減去賣家應支付之所有費用之款額匯予賣家。如遇買家 延遲付款,則本公司將在買家付款後7個工作天內匯款予賣家。如因任何理由而使本公 司在買家付款前即已付款予賣家,則本公司即獲得拍賣品之完整之擁有權與所有權。 但在本公司因拍賣品為膺品而被迫向買家收回拍賣品下,賣家方須將已收取之拍賣收 益退還予本公司。 除賣家另有書面指示外,本公司將以港幣付款。如賣家要求以港幣以外之貨幣付款, 依拍賣現場由香港匯豐銀行公佈之匯率計算付款金額。 b.賣家支付每件拍賣品之手續費: (1)本公司之拍賣須至拍賣完成後買家實際付清所有款項予本公司時,視為交易完成。 (2)當交易完成,賣家須依約定支付本公司手續費。 c. 買家不付款 如買家在成功拍賣日後起算7天內未支付應付之全部款項,本公司即有權代理賣家就 付款、貯存與保險而協定特別條款,並有權代理賣家採取本公司認為適當的任何步驟 以向買家收取其應付之款項,因而產生之相關費用及損害,概由賣家自行承擔。但本 公司並未承擔任何付款責任,亦無義務代理賣家採取任何行動(包括但不限於法律行 動)。但本公司將與賣家討論如何採取適當行動以向買家追討拍賣款額。 d. 膺品/贓物 如買家於付款領取拍賣品後之十日內,使本公司相信或懷疑拍賣品為膺品或贓物或涉 及任何不法情事者,本公司得自行決定無條件買家交付之拍賣落槌價(本公司得扣處因 此所致之相關處理費用)予買家時,而拍賣品將由本公司退回賣家或送交警方處理,賣 家不得異議或對本公司主張任何權利或請求,賣家並應於本公司通知後,於三日內無 條件退還其所得之全數金額予本公司,賣家並應於十日內付清相關基本支出費用,及 賠償本公司因此所致之所有損失、損害及相關費用等。逾期退還、給付者,賣家應另 外支付按不超過香港匯豐銀行最優惠利率加10%之年利率收取整筆欠款之利息。此外 本公司可同時按日收取依賣價(含佣金)1%計算之違約金。本公司亦得自行選擇將賣 家未付之款項,用以抵銷本公司或其他附屬公司在任何其他交易中欠下賣家之款項, 賣家絕無異議。 e. 未能成功拍賣之拍賣品 (1)任何拍賣品如未能成功拍賣,或不包括在拍賣之內,或因任何理由而撤回、中止或 終止拍賣,則在本公司發出通知予賣家要求賣家領回拍賣品後之35天內,賣家必須 領回拍賣品。 (2)任何此等拍賣品如在35天過期後仍未領回,本公司可向委託者徵收每天每件標的作 品參佰港元 (HK$300)貯存費,並收取額外費用以購買保險。賣家須在付清所有未付 費用後,方可領回拍賣品。 (3)此等拍賣品如在發出領回通知後之60天內仍未領回,則可被移往第三人之貨倉貯 存,開支費用由賣家承擔。 (4)任何此等拍賣品如在拍賣日期後或上述通知日期後之90天內(以較早之日期為準) 未被領回,則本公司可視乎是否合適而將該拍賣品處置。處置包括將拍賣品移往第 三人之貨倉而開支費由賣家承擔,以及將該拍賣品按本公司認為適當之條款(包括 有關估價與底價之條款)公開拍賣。本公司其後會將拍賣收益扣除所有欠款後支付 予賣家。 (5)任何拍賣品如在拍賣中收回或未能成功拍賣,則本公司有權代理賣家在拍賣後的兩 個月內作為賣家之獨家代理人,按賣家可收取之淨款額(即扣除賣家應付之一切費 用後之款額),私下出售拍賣品。本公司得事前扣除所致之費用。在此情況下,賣 家就該拍賣品而對本公司所負有之責任、義務及付款條件等,與拍賣品成功拍賣時 一樣。 9. 圖片與圖示 賣家同意本公司有權對拍賣品制作照片、圖示、錄像或其他形式的影像制品,此等照 片、圖示、錄像及影像制品之著作權及其他一切權利均屬本公司所有,且本公司有權以 任何本公司認為適合之方式使用之,賣家絕無異議。
