The Road Not Taken Ch.1: Mind Set Art Center
Written by Mind Set Art Center
Mind Set Art Center has relocated to Heping E. Rd., Taipei early this February. We are delighted to present the Grand Opening Exhibition in the new space “The Road Not Taken” from 12 March to 14 The exhibition title “The Road Not Taken” is cited from the famous poem of the same title written by American poet Robert Lee Frost (1874 – 1963), and also refers to the book Holzwege by German philosopher Marth Heidegger (1889 – 1976). It reflects the rugged, lonely life path of artistic creation that is also full of unknown possibilities, where only one full of adventure, courage, and clear spirit could refine the scenes along the way into plenty fruits. The same could be said for art collecting and promotion.
SHI Jin-Hua will present his first drawing inspired by music, Lines of Music op.01, in which pencil lines dance on Xuan paper to form a composition that invokes experiences resembling to that of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A minor, Opus 50 through the eyes. SHI also takes his Pen Walking series which began in 1994 to a new phase. In his new piece, Pen Walking #157, the artist took a tube of paint as the subject and exhausted the paint to form rich texture and powerful image on a canvas, leaving marks as the deeds one has performed in a lifetime.
