【氣息 – 谷保玲奈個展|Breath – Reina TANIHO Solo Exhibition】

2024 年 12 月 19 日

涅普頓畫廊很榮幸即將於甲辰歲末,帶來第八屆東山魁夷記念-日経日本画大賞得主,谷保玲奈在台灣的首次個展!藝術家以突破日本画傳統的主題與技巧,在質地輕薄的紙本或絹本上,層次堆疊、暈染出強而有力的膠彩質地,更凸顯出生機盎然的畫面充滿著多重元素,回應藝術家以藝術徜徉生命之美的豐沛情感。展期為2024年12月28日(星期六)至2025年1月24日(星期五),開幕將舉行於2025年1月4日(星期六)下午4:00,藝術家本人也將出席,我們誠摯邀請您的蒞臨。

谷保玲奈的藝術啟蒙於自然,兒時跟著在非營利組織工作的父母,移居至四周環繞加勒比海的多明尼加、南美洲內陸的玻利維亞成長歲月,成為她日後的創作養分:睜眼即海的廣闊視野及居所種植的九重葛、石榴樹等多樣熱帶植物,潛移默化為她常用的紅、朱、橙等暖色、以及藍色、群青等冷色,鮮見於日本画中的物種更是鮮明獨特的個人風格。

展覽主題『氣息』回應了藝術家生之為創作,是如同呼吸般再自然也不過的事情。谷保玲奈經歷了疫情期間封鎖下幾近停止創作的困境、懷孕及女兒誕生的生命喜悅、毛孩逝去對自由的感悟迴響等,谷保玲奈的創作看似紊亂卻又不失序,自然地吐納天地萬物的生命,交融且斑斕的燦爛暈染,讓不同物種因為藝術家揉實的筆觸,提點了觀者對生命與藝術間最真誠的共鳴。

展期:2024 年12月28日(星期六)至2025年1月24日(星期五)

開幕:2025年1月4日(星期六)下午4:00,藝術家將出席。

藝術家創作自述:

偶然邂逅的事物,總讓我想捕捉那份能够感知到的極致「氣息」。

氣息無處不在,彌漫於周圍的一切之中。

在其中引發共鳴,讓我想要描繪、想要留下的情感或個人的美感,而這些也受到我當時的狀態的影響。彼此交相呼應的結果,創作下作品。

對我來說,繪畫是一種再次確認一切事物理所當然的互相連結、互相影響的行為。

Neptune Gallery is honored to present the first solo exhibition in Taiwan by Reina TANIHO, the recipient of the 8th Tetsuo Kuwayama Memorial – Nikkei Nihonga Award, at the end of the Year of Jiachen. The exhibition showcases Taniho’s innovative approach to Nihonga, breaking traditional boundaries with her themes and techniques. Using delicate papers or silk as her canvas, the artist layers and blends vibrant, powerful colors in a way that highlights the vitality and complexity of her compositions. Her works are infused with rich emotions, responding to the artist’s personal journey through the beauty of life.

Reina Taniho’s artistic inspiration began with nature. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, and later in Bolivia, she was exposed to a rich environment of tropical plants such as bougainvillea and pomegranate trees. This environment became a source of creative nourishment for her, influencing her use of warm colors like red, vermilion, and orange, as well as cool tones such as blue and ultramarine. These colors, along with the unique subjects rarely seen in Nihonga, have come to define her distinct personal style.

The theme of the exhibition, “Breath,” reflects Taniho’s belief that creation, like breathing, is a natural act of life. Her works were shaped by experiences such as the isolation during the pandemic, the joy of pregnancy and childbirth, and the emotional reflection on the passing of her pet. While her artistic process may appear chaotic at times, it is imbued with a sense of harmony, capturing the breath of life in all its complexity. Through her vibrant, blended brushstrokes, she invites viewers to resonate with the profound connection between life and art.

Artist’s Statement:
The things I encounter by chance always make me want to capture that ultimate “breath” that I can sense.
Breath is everywhere, pervading everything around us.
When I resonate with it, I feel the desire to depict or leave behind the emotions or personal aesthetics it evokes. These are influenced by my state at the time. The result of this mutual interaction gives birth to my works.
For me, painting is a way of reaffirming the natural connections and influences between all things.
