趙馥樂 CHAO Fu-Le

簡介
趙馥樂畢業於英國愛丁堡藝術學院（Edinburgh College of Art）當代藝術實踐碩士，以繪畫為主要創作形式。2015年起，她輾轉於倫敦、日本與中國北方城市之間，這段遊牧般的城市經驗，成為她創作的重要來源。

趙馥樂的作品多以壓克力顏料於畫布上創作，關注建築量體與周遭環境之間如何相互塑造、此消彼長。倫敦戰後粗獷主義式的公營住宅、日本統一而精準的空間定義，以及中國北方城市不斷拆遷興建的矛盾，這些城市片段被她轉化為畫面中的幾何切割、堆疊與配置。不同於設計功能導向下的理性極簡，她的畫面是一種跟隨圖像思維推演出來的有機過程：刻意避開明確的敘事與第一人稱的痕跡，作品名稱也僅以創作順序編號。在具象到抽象的轉換中，她盡可能消除工具質感、避免顏料堆疊，以克制的繪畫行動創造出近乎機械般平整的畫面。

2022年於阿波羅畫廊與The One南園合作舉辦個展《解放建築》，呈現其近年對建築結構與視覺空間的研究與延伸。

Introduction
CHAO Fu-Le holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from Edinburgh College of Art in the UK, and painting is her primary medium. Since 2015 she has moved between London, Japan and cities in northern China, and this nomadic urban experience has become an important source for her work.

CHAO Fu-Le works mainly in acrylic on canvas. Her work considers how architectural masses and their surroundings shape one another, one advancing as the other recedes. Fragments of cities, from London’s postwar Brutalist council housing to Japan’s uniform and precise definition of space and the contradictions of constant demolition and construction in northern Chinese cities, are transformed in her paintings into geometric divisions, stacks and arrangements. Unlike the rational minimalism of function-driven design, her paintings emerge through an organic process guided by visual thinking. She deliberately avoids explicit narrative and traces of the first person, and her works are titled only by number, in the order they were made. In moving from the figurative to the abstract, she eliminates the marks of her tools and avoids building up paint wherever possible, using restrained gestures to create surfaces of almost mechanical smoothness.

In 2022 she held the solo exhibition Liberating Architecture, presented by Apollo Art Gallery in collaboration with The One Nanyuan, showing her recent research into architectural structure and visual space and its extensions.
