Kétnapos kiállítással és workshopokkal fejeződik be Jui-Pin Chang taiwani képzőművész budapesti tartózkodása. Pénteken, szeptember 11-én este 7 órától az Anderson Art LAB-ban a művész maga mutatja be ‘Bucketmen’ születését és a sorozat legfrissebben elkészült cut-out darabjait.
Internetes társkeresés – kapcsolat során, szinte naponta készültek a munkák. Csak a profilunk vesz részt a kapcsolatban vagy meg merjük mutatni saját arcunkat is? A ‘Bucketmen’ sorozat új darabjai cut-out technikával készültek. Az olasz reneszánsz és Matisse után a magyar folklór is nyomott hagyott a képeken.
Pénteken a megnyitó után a felnőtteket, szombaton 11 órától a gyerekeket és minden érdeklődőt várunk műhelymunkára, ahol a papírkivágásos technikába vezet be minket a művész. Részvételi szándékát kérjük jelezze: 30 494 4769.
Jui-Pin Chang 1964-ben született Taiwanban.
Művészeti tanulmányait a Taipei National University of the Arts-on végezte. Rendszeres kiállító a ‘Taipei art fair’ rendezvényén, számos egyéni és csoportos kiállítása volt. Szívesen dolgozik Európában, mivel mindkét lánya itt folytat komolyzenei tanulmányokat.

The Artist’s Statement
Ideology of My Creation – The Bucketmen
The „Bucketmen” is an image in my dream. In this dream I saw a group of little people with buckets on their heads gradually descending from the sky. They were chanting, holding clubs and hopping around me. I found myself surrounded by fear, not knowing what to do. In the midst of a panic, I picked up a bucket and put on my head. Suddenly and miraculously, with a bucket covering my face, I could no longer sense the danger ahead. All my fear disappeared; I became very brave. So I joined the march of the bucketmen to explore the world.
When I woke up, I came to realize that buketmen are little people inside me. I felt a surge of inspiration and urges to pick up the paintbrush. I created to the first bucketman, then the second, the third … … When I found that I could not stop painting, I began to think about a variety of reasons. I suddenly realized that in this series of creative process, in fact, I am exploring the deepest corners in my mind. In this process, I can face myself with honestly, examine my past and look into the future, and I increasingly understand myself in a much intimate way. Through the bucketmen, I understand my own needs, the space, and the limits. Bucketmen endow me with the power to explore, the energy to move forward, and importantly the ability to see what I could not see before. I do not know yet where this will ultimately take me. I shall, with all humbleness, continue to express my feelings through the paintbrush.
BUCKETMEN – The Internet Romance
Earlier this year I had a three-month internet romance and decided to chronicle my feelings through my art. It lasted three months and inspired this collection of 60 cut-out creations, the newest work from my trademark Bucketmen series, which I am displaying for the first time here at the Sziget Festival as part of the exhibiton by the Art Quarter Budapest Artists’ Residence.
This concept first began developing in my mind last year while I was working with a group of international artists in Venice. I had been very inspired from the beautiful prints of the Italian Renaissance artists as well as by a series of cut-out works from Henri Matisse which I saw earlier at the Tate Modern Gallery in London.
Like me, I suspect that many of you will also have had some sort of internet relationship. They can be so seductive, slowly weaving their way around our lives like the twining branches of my cutout trees.
And just like my Bucketmen, we can inter-react over the internet without showing our real faces to anybody. While the Bucketmen hide behind their buckets, we shelter behind our profiles. Do any of us really reveal the truth about our secret, innermost feelings? I’m not sure I did.
However, one thing all of us – you, me and the Bucketmen –share is the very human desire to love and be loved.
I symbolize love in my paintings with the red apple – the forbidden fruit that led to Adam and Eve being banished from the Garden of Eden.
It crops up time after time. The Bucketmen are constantly searching for it, desperately trying to hold it, to possess it. Are you?
