「黑夜逐漸退去，萬物在日夜之間顯得特別寧靜。那是一種堅不可摧與相異的交點，所有顏色生動而綻放。」

那是一天中最曖昧的時刻。

這畫、這話，吸走我的目光。
克里斯・蘇科（1979 -）成長時期深受英國與美國文化薰陶，爾後投身音樂創作與巡迴表演。他於2009年獲格奧爾格·赫羅爾德（Georg Herold）頒發德國杜塞道夫藝術學院榮譽學位，於2012年畢業於英國皇家藝術學院。除了藝術創作以外，同時身兼詩人與音樂家，且至今創作不懈。蘇科於世界各地皆有展出，而其作品也受諸多公共與私人館藏青睞典藏。2015年，蘇科與保羅·沃瑟曼共同撰寫詩集《為了不孤獨死，你所付出的代價》，中文翻譯版本於2018年由白石畫廊出版。克里斯・蘇科目前工作與居住於德國杜塞道夫。
《狂歡畫》系列作品來自於藝術家對清晨陽光的感受與觀察，尤其當他整夜在外，於破曉時分慢慢走回家時所看到的景色，蘇科描述：「黑夜逐漸退去，萬物在日夜之間顯得特別寧靜。那是一種堅不可摧與相異的交點，所有顏色生動而綻放。」 此充滿詩意的系列作品傳達了年輕藝術家在一天中最曖昧時刻蠢蠢欲動的心情。

Chris Succo (*1979) lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. He attended the attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he was awarded Meisterschüler by Prof. Georg Herold and the Royal College of Art, London, graduating from the latter in 2012. Major influences for the German-born artist are his early experiences of British and American culture through his family ties in the respective countries, his involvement in the music recording and touring industry in his formative years and his continuing work as writer and musician. Succo has exhibited internationally, and his work is featured in many public and private collections, he also sourced many of his artwork titles from the poetry book ‘The Price You Pay For Not Being Alone With Your Dying’ which he co-authored with his writer-friend Paul Wasserman in 2015; the Chinese translation version is published in 2018 by Whitestone Gallery.
Binge Paintings are from the artist’s observation of morning light, especially when walking back home in the early morning from a late night out in the summer time. Succo describes it “just as the night breaks, things seem to be in-between and calm. They are about this feeling of invincibility and different, more vibrant reception of colour.” This poetic series delivers the artist’s young and unsettling feelings from the most vulnerable and mysterious time of a day.
