堉泉Yu Chuan


當代藝術家堉泉1982年生,台灣藝術大學雕塑系畢業,曾旅居西班牙、義大利、日本及其他國家。堉泉將西方的媒材與東方文化的繪畫技法相結合,再運用自己獨特創新的技法,通過創新和融合東西方獨特的特色,使得他的畫作充滿生命力。

出生於台灣的堉泉,因為家庭淵源,從小就在中國書畫裡熏陶長大的他敏銳地嗅出墨香里的寫意精神,他在油彩間找尋讓色彩流動奔騰的技法,成功地以油畫媒材營造出水墨般似有若無的空靈韻味,並以強烈的表現主義風格彰顯東方精神。堉泉從早期的神獸系列開始建立其個人獨特風格,藉著恣意流動的油彩技法,在畫面上捕捉了傳統建築紋飾裡的斑斕色彩。其後,堉泉大膽突破題材,花卉、動物、山水、花鳥、石頭等六七個系列同時發展,大自然的天光雲影、水流石痕、迸發的岩漿等等,都成為他表現色彩與肌理的靈感來源。近幾年,他活躍於義大利米蘭、日本東京、中國上海、紐約、韓國等地辦展。其創作備受國內外藏家矚目,英國時尚界教父Paul Smith爵士、國際巨星成龍、創新工場李開復、前世界銀行集團常務副行長CFO的夫人Vanessa Badre兼藝術史學家...等,皆是其重要收藏家。
