Exhibition Statement
Cynthia Lin uses “people” as her creative transformation carrier in this solo exhibition, Transformation & Variation. The modern media is used as a tool to “measure” the multiple aspects of art. She therefore transforms images and symbols to the “vocabulary” of art. By means of writing on the subject, she uses x-ray films titled The Basic, installation art with acrylic sheets, Connection, and 12-work-collection made of composite material titled People. All of these works correspond to the theme—people. The characters in People expose the roles modern people play as an introduction of the exhibition and employ many signs, symbols and words to rewrite and record our time. In the installation art work Connection, the artist begins with “people” and shifts to the effects of technology on globalization. The airport code on each acrylic sheet is more than just the abbreviation of major airports. It bears a profound meaning of connecting the world. Therefore, the artist starts from “people” to the “world”¸ and then goes back from the “world” to the “essence”. The human body x-ray film The Basic is the artist’s philosophical exploration of life.
創作自述
林霞( Cynthia Lin )藉『轉化與變奏』個展試圖以『人』為創作界殼，借當代媒材為手段『測量』著藝術的多元性，轉載圖像、符號為繪畫『語彙』。在主體上書寫為手段，分別以X光片『The Basic』、壓克力片『Connection』裝置和十二幅複合媒材作品『People』呼應主題 ─ 『人』。自『People』的人物揭露網路在現當代人生活扮演的重要角色為序幕，轉借生活各式圖騰、符號與文字書寫重新記錄當代。爾後在裝置作品『Connection』起承了『人』的世界而轉合至科技影響下的全球化現象，每片壓克力片縮寫的非僅僅各城市機場名稱，它承載著是全球連線的深意，於是，自『People』連結至『全球』，再自『全球』回歸『本質』，『The Basic』的人體X光片即是藝術家對生命哲學探索的思維。
