Ink Drawing on Japanese sketchbook, 16 cmx 300cm, 2025
In 2024, I spent five weeks as an artist in residence in the ancient village of Noyers-sur-Serein, France. I drew a series of street scenes that reveal the town from multiple perspectives, and I am delighted to have had the opportunity to savor its beauty through my practice. This marks my second residency, during which I deepened my attention to the village as I wandered its corners and discovered an abundance of artistic decoration decorating historic façades.
Over the course of my stay, I created 26 drawings in my favorite medium: a foldable Japanese sketchbook I brought from Kyoto. These works capture the intimate dialogue between old stone, light, and daily life, reframing familiar streets as sites of quiet wonder.
Presented at La Porte Peinte Art Center, this exhibition invites viewers to roam freely through the 26 drawings. I hope to convey the village’s beauty, its culture, and its tranquil atmosphere, inviting a shared moment of reflection and connection with a place where history and present-day life softly intersect.
在2024年，我於法國諾耶爾-蘇雷安（Noyers-sur-Serein）這座古鎮，完成為期五週的駐村創作。透過一系列街景素描，我以多重視角描繪小鎮之美，並十分享受在創作實踐中對其風貌的細緻品味。這也是我的第二次駐村期間，我在漫步於小巷角落、發掘歷史建築前方豐富的藝術裝飾時，對小鎮的注意力更加深沉。
在整個駐村期間，我用我最喜愛的日本摺頁素描本（自京都帶來）完成了26幅作品。這些作品捕捉了古老石牆、光線與日常生活之間的親密對話，將熟悉的街道重新詮釋為充滿安靜奇想的場域。
於La Porte Peinte美術中心呈現的展覽，觀眾可自由漫步於這26幅素描之間。我希望藉由這次展覽傳達小鎮的美麗、其文化與寧靜的氛圍，邀請人們共同踏入一段反思與連結的時刻，讓歷史與當代生活在這裡悄然交會。
