凱旋畫廊榮幸地宣布將于2023年4月8日至5月14日期間，呈現(xiàn)藝術(shù)家鄭在東（b.1953）的最新個(gè)展「天涯（Beyond The Horizon）」。展覽標(biāo)題《天涯》由鄭在東先生取自唐著名詩人李商隱（約813-858）所著的五言絕句《天涯》。希望在展廳內(nèi)再現(xiàn)李商隱詩句所描繪的壯美意境。

在過去的三十多年中，鄭在東先生的藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作生涯以丙烯與油彩等為媒介再續(xù)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)繪畫中文人畫與山水畫之風(fēng)雅。

此次展出繪畫作品中，通透的丙烯層疊下所描繪的潺潺流水、涓涓細(xì)流與朵朵祥云，使得畫面在層疊薄厚關(guān)系之下多了一份靈動(dòng)與流動(dòng)。中式的山石、瀑布、亭臺(tái)樓閣，與恰如傳統(tǒng)中國(guó)畫礦物顏料一般高飽和的丙烯筆觸結(jié)合，呈現(xiàn)一種一味獨(dú)特的穿梭于古典與現(xiàn)代的繪畫風(fēng)格。

鄭在東先生素日喜愛收藏文玩器物，對(duì)于古畫、瓷器、古建筑也頗有研究，宛如一位生活在當(dāng)代摩登都市又大隱于世的當(dāng)代文人，將其獨(dú)特的氣質(zhì)以及胸中的無限風(fēng)情寄托于繪畫作品之中。

此次展覽將呈現(xiàn)鄭在東先生創(chuàng)作的十余幅風(fēng)景繪畫，借由展覽傳遞藝術(shù)家對(duì)于東方文化的探索與重構(gòu)，及畫面所呈現(xiàn)的藝術(shù)家心中波瀾壯闊的大好山。兼有靜謐致美的江南煙雨。

TRIUMPH GALLERY is pleased to announce the latest solo exhibition, Beyond The Horizon, by artist Cheng Tsai-Tung (Pinyin: Zheng Zaidong, b. 1953) from April 8th to May 14th, 2023. The title of the exhibition, Beyond The Horizon (Pinyin：Tian Ya), was personally chosen by Cheng Tsai-Tung, inspired by a famous five-character quatrain (one of the sentence structures of ancient Chinese poems ) Tian-Ya (Chinese characters: 天涯, which means beyond the horizon) by the prominent poet Li Shangyin (About 813-858) of the late Tang Dynasty. The exhibition aims to recreate the magnificent mood expressed in Li Shangyin's poem and express a splendid artistic conception.

In the past thirty years, Cheng Tsai-Tung's artistic career has continued the elegance of Chinese Literati Painting (文人畫, Pinyin: Wen Ren Hua) and Mountains-and-Waters Painting (山水畫, Pinyin: Shan Shui Hua) in traditional Chinese ink paintings, but using acrylic and oil paints as mediums.

In the exhibited works of Cheng Tsai-Tung's paintings, the multiple layers of acrylic illustrate trickling water, meandering streams, and auspicious clouds, giving the images an added dynamic and fluidity in their layered thickness. In Cheng Tsai-Tung's paintings, traditional Chinese elements, such as stones, waterfalls, pavilions, and buildings, are combined with highly saturated acrylic brushes reminiscent of mineral pigments in traditional Chinese paintings. The unique result is a dynamic and hybrid style that weaves through and flashback classical and modern painting styles.

Cheng Tsai-Tung collects antiques and has extensive knowledge of ancient paintings, porcelain, and Chinese architecture, as a contemporary literati who lives in a modern metropolis and expresses his inner landscapes through his paintings.

The exhibition will showcase over ten acrylic paintings by artist Cheng Tsai-Tung, conveying his exploration and reconstruction of Eastern culture, his grand and magnificent vision of the vast mountains and rivers, and the transforming tranquil and beautiful landscape of southeast China in the artist's mind.

Cheng Tsai-Tung (Zheng Zaidong) was born in Taipei in 1953, currently lives and works in Shanghai. As a self-taught artist, Cheng’s practice freely navigates through the traditions of both Chinese and Western art by engaging with a series of divergent and sometimes even contradictory concepts and styles—including Modern and historical, imaginary and real, collective and personal, and sensual and innocent. Cheng's works are closely tied to notions of dislocation and periphery stemming from his cross-cultural ties to Shanghai, where he currently lives and works, New York City, where he spent a considerable amount of time in his youth, and Taipei, where he was born.

Cheng is widely acclaimed for his free-style landscape paintings in vivid colors, exploring the artist’s inner quest for an ideal place to reside and ruminate, and ways in which all these conflicting ideas and beliefs could reconcile with each other. Elegant, ethereal and with a touch of playfulness, his works offer the contemporary viewers a spiritual home to dwell in, wander around, and to enjoy a temporary shelter from this boisterous and complicated modern world.

Cheng Tsai-Tung has had extensive international solo exhibitions and projects including How can we live without this gentleman: Cheng Tsai-Tung Solo Exhibition, Yi Yun Art, Taipei, 2022; The Realm of Dreamland: Zheng Zai Dong Solo Exhibition, Aurora Museum, Shanghai, 2022; Literati’s Peach Blossom Spring: Zheng Zaidong Solo Exhibition, Powerlong Museum, Shanghai, 2021; Such Fellowship Shall Endure Despite Our Parted Ways: Zheng Zaidong Solo Exhibition, Tofukuji Temple, Kyoto, 2019; Flower Series, Liang Project, Shanghai, 2017; The City Wanderer, Jewelvary, Shanghai, 2016; Mountains, Water, Moon, Matthew Liu Fine Arts, Shanghai, 2015; Refulgence of Solitude, Long Museum, Shanghai, 2014; My Mind in Unsullied Languor: Revisiting Then and There, ARTMIA Foundation, Beijing, 2013; Ranging in France—Cheng Tsai-Tung’s solo exhibition, Red Bridge Gallery, Shanghai, 2007; Moon and Shadow Cheer Me Through, Shanghai Gallery of Art, Shanghai, 2006; Ink Paintings by Cheng Tsai-Tung, Hanart Gallery, Hong Kong, 2005; Verdant Hill Semiveiled, Lin and Keng Gallery, Taipei, 2003.
