艺术家创作自述:
这个进行一年的系列都是我的写生练习小画,因为我没有任何计画或目的,只有轻鬆与自在。渐渐地这些画让画室变成美丽花园,连卡夫卡(画家的爱猫——编者注)都喜爱在其中小眠,遂将这完成后一百张画的像簿称为"画室裡的四季" 。
"冰天雪地亦有春,世外桃源雅室居;四壁锦绣随心造,小猫偷眠伴君閒。”
These 100 works are "practice" small paintings I have started from this summer. Call them "practice" for not having any plan or purpose, but rather relaxing and free. The paintings gradually make my studio a beautiful garden, even Kafka loves to nap in there! Therefore I named this practice series "4 Seasons in Studio".
画家简介: 加拿大多伦多艺术家陈岳琳 (Linda Chen),1961年出生于台湾,长于台北,大学毕业于东吴大学英语学系。在1996年移民至加拿大。她从小对艺术情有独锺,而追寻艺术的梦想,一直到踏上移民新旅程才得以再次落实。某天,当她粉刷浴室牆壁时得到一个心得:如果我可以用油漆,那我应该可以画油画。到目前为止,她对这个连续发展的结果感到满意!多年的自我学习之后,陈岳琳于2006年成为 Toronto School of Art 的学生,并于2010年毕业。这个全新的学习经验打开了她的艺术视野,并结交了一群文化及背景各异的艺术爱好者。过去几年,陈岳琳活跃地参与加拿大安大略省的都会艺文活动。除了自己的创作系列外,更积极参加各类团体展和评审展,并是安省画会 Painters 6 的成员。她的作品陆续在省内各处展出(网址: www.lindachenart.com)
陈岳琳 (Chen Yueh-Lin) or Linda Chen is a visual artist based in Toronto. She was born in Taiwan in 1961, graduated with a BA in English Literature, and moved to Canada in 1996. To Linda, creating art is a way of expressing her thoughts and feelings, mostly in relation to the coming together of her Eastern and Western worlds. Whether it is celebrating harmonies or expressing tension and conflict, Linda utilizes different artistic mediums and styles as ways of deliberating her thoughts visually. She mainly draws upon the use of negative space and loosely dynamic lines of East Asian brush paintings, and the expressive painting style from the Impressionist art movement that is rich and adventurous in colour. Her explorations result in a visual aesthetic that blends her Eastern and Western influences into one that is uniquely hers – one that reveals an insight to her own cultural identity.
