刊載於《經濟日報》，2022/04/07
在凡事追求速度與效率的現代社會中，人們經常忽略環境與事物間緩慢而細微的變化。因此，當我們驚覺物是人非，發生意想不到的巨變時，才知曉時光飛逝之後的種種歲月痕跡。生在這個時代的我們，又該如何因應外在環境所帶來的不安和焦慮，並找尋自我療癒的力量？致力於連結全球各地新銳藝術家的Dotard Village Gallery 糊塗里國際藝廊，近期邀請台灣藝術家湯潔安，於藝廊內打造一場匠心獨具的個展：「始於光‧至於徑」（Light & Path），其關照環境與群己關係的獨特視角，非常值得觀賞玩味。
In modern society looking for speed efficiency, people usually ignore all subtle changes in the environment we live. Therefore, the traces of the years are only known when unexpected changes occur. How can we cope with the anxiety caused by the environment and meet the power healing ourselves? Dotard Village Gallery connects with emerging artists from all over the world. Recently, Taiwanese artist Ann Tang was invited to present her solo exhibition in Dotard Village Gallery: Light & Path, a unique perspective on the relationship between the environment and the group, which is very worth watching.
人類立足於寬廣遼闊的宇宙，而時間與空間乃是萬物運行的依據。世間若沒了空間，即便小如塵沙也將無處安放；而無數的變遷流轉，若少了時間，就無所謂「過去、現在與未來」。身為景觀設計師與花藝師的藝術家湯潔安，時常透過各式雕塑作品來呈現時間與空間的有機共生概念，洞察環境與事件的變化，在吸收內化後，運用各種物件（如墨與紙）之間產生的層次，以自己的獨特語言，將動態而立體的事件，轉譯為靜態而平面，卻饒富情感層次的藝術作品。
In the vast universe of human beings, time and space are the basis for the operation of all things. If there is no space, there is no place for things as small as dust; and if there is no time, there is no "past, present and future". As a landscape architect and florist, artist Ann Tang presents her concept of symbiosis of time and space through sculpture works and has insight into the changes of environment and events. Using various objects (such as ink and paper), with her own language, she turns dynamic and stereoscopic life events into static, flat artworks with strong emotions.
近年來，國內外藝評愈加關注湯潔安的作品，她以抽離的第三視角觀察自身與事件的相互關係，因而帶給觀眾新的啟發。在時空的邊界遊走徘徊，不斷來回檢視自身經歷，並將情緒延伸，藉由雕塑手法精準記錄特殊感受，最後再將這些曲折的情感吸收，轉化為自我成長的一部分──這正是湯潔安獨一無二的視角與敘事方式，也以此交織出「始於光‧至於徑」當中，一幕幕令人難忘的心靈場景。而除了探索自我與環境、空間與時間等變化與影響外，湯潔安的作品也善於巧妙演繹看似不相關的事件，以及不經意的存在，其實背後都經過縝密的安排，令人會心莞爾，或在偶然間領悟其中的玄妙。
In recent years, domestic and foreign art critics have paid more and more attention to Ann Tang and her works. She observes her own relationship to events from a third perspective and continually examines her own experiences. Recording special feelings through sculpture, transforming it into self-growth, and bringing new inspiration through these messages to the audience. In this way, she presents the unforgettable spiritual scenes in "Light & Path." In addition to exploring the changes between self and environment, as well as space and time, Ann Tang’s works are also good at deducing irrelevant events. All her works are well-arranged to make people think and dig deep into their hearts, makes them smile with understanding.
