WITHIN THE PULSE OF TIME: AVA HSUEH’S ABSTRACT PAINTING
此時彼刻 — 薛保瑕的抽象繪畫
AVA PAO-SHIA HSUEH（薛保瑕）
Time is not unidirectional but, by contrast, shuttles back and forth between numerous intersections. As an abstract painter, I learn from history and embrace the present in the moment, whilst looking to the future in our imagination. How to respond to present reality and explore the characteristics of contemporary abstract art through abstract vocabulary has always been the core of my artistic practice. At this point, whenever we are confronted with a work of art, we are no longer mere strangers. Instead, we shuttle back and forth and transform at that point in time, thus becoming transplanters of temperature, as well as annotators of text.
About the Speaker
Ava Hsueh (b. 1956) obtained her D.A. degree in Arts from New York University and currently serves as the Honorary Professor at the Tainan National University of the Arts. She has been appointed as the Director of National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Chief Executive of National Cultural and Arts Foundation, and has served as the Dean of the College of Visual Arts, the Chair of the Doctoral Program in Art Creation and Theory in Tainan National University of the Arts. Hsueh has long chosen abstract art as her expression. In dexterously conjuring biomorphic abstraction and geometric abstraction, she creates a hybrid reality that corresponds to epochal shifts in contemporary abstract art.
Hsueh has exhibited internationally, including in Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan, France, Italy, and the U.S. She has been awarded the Creation Award of Li Chun-shan Foundation of Modern Painting, the Institutional Honorable Award for Woman in Culture and Arts, the Third Merit Medal from the Executive Yuan of Taiwan, the 3rd Art Education Contribution Prize: Outstanding Teacher from the Ministry of Education, and the Research Award National Science Council (1996). Her works are housed in various collections, including the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art, Taichung, Taiwan; Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, Taiwan; Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Taichung Art Museum, Taichung, Taiwan; Tainan Art Museum, Tainan, Taiwan; National Art Museum of China, Beijing, China; White Rabbit Museum, Chippendale, Australia; and private collections.

此時彼刻 — 薛保瑕的抽象繪畫
時間流不是單向的，總是往返於多個節點。作為一位抽象繪畫的創作者，我向歷史學習，並在當下接應現實，更在想像中望向未來。如何以抽象語彙回應當今的現實並探究當代抽象藝術的特質，一直是我的藝術課題。此時，面對作品，我們不是陌生人，而是穿梭其間移相互轉譯，成為溫度的嫁接者，也是文本的插頁者。
薛保瑕
1956年出生於台灣台中
現居、創作於台中
薛保瑕為美國紐約大學教育學院藝術博士。現任國立臺南藝術大學榮譽教授。曾任國立臺灣美術館館長、財團法人國家文化藝術基金會執行長，國立臺南藝術大學視覺藝術學院院長、藝術創作理論研究所博士班專任教授暨所長等。長久以來選擇以抽象藝術作為創作的表現形式，作品主要以冷熱兩種抽象符號表現混合性的現實，並因應時代的改變進一步探討當代抽象藝術的特質。
其作品於台灣、中國、美國、法國、義大利、韓國，和日本等地展出。曾獲李仲生基金會現代繪畫獎、女性文化藝術學社獎、行政院特殊功績三等功績獎章、教育部第三屆藝術教育貢獻獎─教學傑出獎，和國科會84學年度甲種研究獎勵等。作品為國立臺灣美術館、臺北市立美術館、高雄市立美術館、臺中市立美術館、臺南市美術館、北京中國美術館、澳洲白兔美術館等機構典藏，以及私人收藏等。
