About Artists:
Artist Charles Schriver
Charles from Chicago USA. Charles believes art is not meant to last forever and that it only remains in time for a fleeting moment. His street sculpture/relief murals are created into the base of boarded-up buildings, construction sites, and other temporary architectural structures. Each relief mural is spontaneously built on site so that it is capable of bringing a smile to the face of a passer-byer and so it can stealthily create its own unique story. His process of arranging ordinary wooden shapes onto barricades has become very special to him. His name is Charles Lewis Schriver and he strives to have active engagement and interaction with the people of his community. The world.
Charles來自美國芝加哥。Charles相信藝術並不意味著永遠持續下去，而且它只能在短暫的時間內保持。他的街道雕塑/浮雕壁畫被建造在木板建築、建築工地和其他臨時建築結構的基礎上。每張浮雕壁畫都是在現場自發建造的，因此它能夠為路人帶來微笑，因此它可以隱秘地創造出自己獨特的故事。他所創作不同形狀的木雕安排到路障上的過程對他來說是非常特殊。他的名字叫Charles Lewis Schriver，他努力與社區人民積極接觸和互動。
Artist Kristone Capistrano
An artist from Sydney, Australia. Kristone is fascinated with the human person, their voices, their faces, their breath and their silent gaze. Indeed, the human face is a mysterious site, etched with a beauty and dignity that beckons portrayal. His large-scale charcoal portraits combine the ideals of classical realism with the sensibilities of post-internet and post-photographic aesthetics. The monumental scaling of these faces, rendered manually by hand, exudes a sense of beguiling tactility and dexterity that fixes the viewer’s gaze. Unlike the multitude of faces constantly crowding our digital screens, he wants to create portraits with a solidity that cannot simply be dismissed and ‘swiped’ away. The sheer scale of these works demands a certain reverence from its viewers, a visual and embodied experience that begs the viewer to pause and to listen. In a frenetic world driven by constant meetings, deadlines and online notifications, these portraits call the viewer to stop and behold the face of the Other; a call towards human reciprocality, begging the onlooker: ‘Look at me. I am here. I am waiting’.
來自澳大利亞悉尼的藝術家。Kristone Capistrano對人的聲音、面孔、呼吸和無聲的目光著迷。事實上，人的臉孔是很神秘的，蝕刻著美麗和尊。他的大型木炭肖像將古典現實主義的理想與後互聯網和後攝影美學的敏感性結合在一起。面部被巨型的放大、手上的痕跡、散發出一種迷人的觸感和靈巧感，找著了觀眾的目光。與不斷擁擠的電子屏幕的眾多面孔不同，他希望創造一種不容易被消散和“刷掉”的牢固肖像。這些作品需要觀眾一定的尊重，視覺的體驗讓觀眾停下來傾聽。在今天不斷的會議、趕上死期和網上資訊等驅動的狂熱世界下，這些肖像畫要求觀眾停下來，看到他人的臉; 呼籲人類互惠，懇求旁觀者：「看著我。我在這裡。我在等」。
Artist Simon Van Parys
A Belgian artist active in the city of Ghent, Belgium. Simon work is forged in a composite of traditional and futuristic techniques, in an attempt to form an image of an unfurling present. This is a place where the analogue world meets its digital counterpart, resulting in pieces with a theme of progression and acceleration. It is also a reconciliation of the abstract and the elemental, a hand-made injection to a virtual dynamic.
Simon practice is heavily influenced by heavy machinery and techno music and has evolved over the last decade from a commitment to handcrafted statues, to a juxtaposition of several artistic forms. This process began by using photography to make 2D representations of my 3D creations, a dimensional shift allowing the contrapuntal application of alternative means of production. Simon works aim to be a complete experience of the vibrant forms he wish to express. Simon augment his primary medium of sculpture with cutting-edge plastics and 3D techniques, drawing my influences through into paintings, graphic design and electronic music.
Simon是比利時藝術家，Simon活躍於比利時根特市。他的作品是由傳統和未來科技組合而成，嘗試形成一個展示現在的形象。這是一個模擬世界與數字世界相遇的地方，產生了以進步和加速為主題的作品。它也是抽象和基本的協調，是手工注入虛擬狀態。Simon的創作深受重型機械和技術音樂的影響，在過去十年他投身手工雕像，現在演變成把幾種藝術媒體元素並置。這個過程的開始是使用攝影來對他的三圍創作進行二圍展示，這圍度轉換的應用替代了生產意議。Simon的作品是希望他完整的經驗以充滿活力的形式表達出來。Simona用先進的塑料和三圍技術增強了他的主要雕塑媒介，再影響到他的繪畫、平面設計和電子音樂中。
