水墨在現代性的變異中，如何重塑屬於當代的墨性型態與美學語彙，藉以映現時代變遷下的當代現象？
「現代水墨」以「革筆的命」、「革中鋒的命」為宗旨，拋開千年以來水墨繪畫工具與技法上的桎梏，衍就水墨畫形式發展上前所未有的變革。然細審「現代水墨」之意蘊，則仍以「不似之似」的寫意、「墨瀋淋漓」的水墨形態，追循宋元古典畫論的墨性美學，易言之，「現代水墨」的當代美學理論仍有待建構與發展。本次「墨的兩種呼吸方式—袁慧莉個展」，具現藝術家對於「現代水墨」革命的未竟之境更深刻的革新思維，其新系列作品自環境變遷與霧霾現象的當代觀點出發，提出「火墨」的概念，藉由墨材本質的轉變，拓展當代墨性的美學語境。
耿畫廊將於8月27日舉辦「墨的兩種呼吸方式—袁慧莉個展」座談會，與會學者包括長期關注現代水墨發展的蕭瓊瑞及夏可君兩位教授，並由當代藝術界重量級學者薛保瑕教授擔任主持人。他們藉由探討袁慧莉如何用「火墨」重新詮釋「墨」的涵義，深入討論「當代水墨」在理論建構上的潛質。

How does one reshape the ink forms and artistic language in order to reflect modern times in their constant state of flux?
Revolving around the bedrock beliefs “Down with the brush!” and “Make painting unconventional!” contemporary ink has undergone an unprecedented revolution in its form, escaping the confines of thousand-year-old ink painting tools and techniques. Upon scrutiny, contemporary ink — with its freehandedness in achieving likeness within unlikeness and its effervescence in ink expression — still follows the doctrines of classical painting theories from the Song and Yuan dynasties and the aesthetics they espoused. In other words, there is still ample room for development in the aesthetic theories of contemporary ink. Yuan Hui-Li’s solo exhibition Moist and Burnt: As Ink Breathes embodies the artist’s innovative thought in contemporary ink practice. Informed by global warming and environmental change, the artist’s “Fiery Ink” is an attempt to expand the context of contemporary ink aesthetics through the physical transformation of the medium.
The Tina Keng Gallery is pleased to present “Moist and Burnt: As Ink Breathes, Panel Discussion,” which takes place on August 27. Hosted by Professor Ava Hsueh, famed scholar in the Taiwanese contemporary art circle, with participating panelists Hsiao Chong-Ray and Xia Kejun, both renowned scholars in the field of contemporary ink, the discussion aims to examine how Yuan Hui-Li reinterprets the essence of ink through “Fiery Ink,” and the underlying nature of the medium in contemporary theories.
