凯旋画廊荣幸地宣布将于2023年4月8日至5月14日期间，呈现艺术家郑在东（b.1953）的最新个展「天涯（Beyond The Horizon）」。展览标题《天涯》由郑在东先生取自唐著名诗人李商隐（约813-858）所著的五言绝句《天涯》。希望在展厅内再现李商隐诗句所描绘的壮美意境。

在过去的三十多年中，郑在东先生的艺术创作生涯以丙烯与油彩等为媒介再续中国传统绘画中文人画与山水画之风雅。

此次展出绘画作品中，通透的丙烯层叠下所描绘的潺潺流水、涓涓细流与朵朵祥云，使得画面在层叠薄厚关系之下多了一份灵动与流动。中式的山石、瀑布、亭台楼阁，与恰如传统中国画矿物颜料一般高饱和的丙烯笔触结合，呈现一种一味独特的穿梭于古典与现代的绘画风格。

郑在东先生素日喜爱收藏文玩器物，对于古画、瓷器、古建筑也颇有研究，宛如一位生活在当代摩登都市又大隐于世的当代文人，将其独特的气质以及胸中的无限风情寄托于绘画作品之中。

此次展览将呈现郑在东先生创作的十余幅风景绘画，借由展览传递艺术家对于东方文化的探索与重构，及画面所呈现的艺术家心中波澜壮阔的大好山。兼有静谧致美的江南烟雨。

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 (文人画, Pinyin: Wen Ren Hua) and Mountains-and-Waters Painting (山水画, 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.

艺术家简介

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.
