“The warm colours and gentle strokes of this work
celebrates the withering and flourishing of life;
like the beautiful scenery of red maple leaves in autumn,
spreading from the centre of the earth to all four directions,
symbolising the tiny and fragile life earth contains,
extending to the infinite and vast universe.

此作以溫暖的色彩、溫柔的筆觸歌頌生命枯榮，
如秋葉楓紅、似錦繁花，
由中心向四方擴散，
象徵大地蘊育微小脆弱的生命，
延伸至無邊無際的廣大宇宙。”

"Memories are like a river, deep and shallow, long and short. All memories have their own unique scenery in this journey of life. At each turning point, there is a story. From the hill, the river flows without stopping, making its own unique environment at each stop, showing the view of this journey, until it reaches the sea with its pieces."

“湛藍在深邃的宇宙中發散出生命能量量，
天地間，道體的運⾏行行無窮無盡，
包容著四時的更更迭與生命的輪輪迴。
在360度繞⾏行行的作畫過程中體悟到萬物的共生之道，
人類在這浩瀚天地間是個為不足道的存在，
要謙卑地面對自然、尊重生命，
好好擁抱彼此，珍惜每個同在的當下。

In the profound universe,
the deep blue emits the energy of life.
Within the sky and the earth,
the boundless movement of the Taoist body
encompasses the changes of the four seasons
and the reincarnation of life.
In the process of painting 360 degrees,
I recognise the harmony of all things
and our insignificant existence in this vast universe;
the need to be humble in facing nature,
respecting life, embracing each other
and cherish every moment in the present."

Introducing Chok Yue Zan, the artist behind ‘Throughout’!

Winner of the prestigious 2017 UOB Painting of the year (Malaysia) Competition, young Kuala Lumpur based artist Chok Yue Zan is an emerging force in the contemporary art world. Born in Tawau, Sabah, Zan grew up with his grandparents, in a forested environment surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking sceneries. It was his sanctuary, a space of unbridled happiness which he considers his lost paradise. His art is inspired heavily by the nostalgia of said paradise and the singular theme of past, present, and future. Zan believes that one’s memories of the past can have a very tangible effect on one’s future.

In his craft, Zan explores various media in a contemplative and conceptual approach. He constantly questions the origins and functions of different materials, and is a proponent of mixing and combining different materials and art techniques to form a unique visual language. His modus operandi of consummately balancing creativity, emotions and technicality makes him one of the most all-rounded and exciting young artists in our region today.

Introducing Wu Kuan-Te (@wu_kuan_te), the artist behind '光蘊如鏡 [The Soul Is Like a Bright Mirror]’!

In an almost ritualistic meditation before the blank canvas, Wu Kuan-Te replaces the brush and executes the ‘subtractive’ oil painting techniques— as opposed to the traditional norm of additive oil painting — by scratching away paint with found objects such as branches, stones and seeds, gesturing with the entirety of his body, mind and emotion unto each mark. The artist allows his imagination to take its course freely, allowing his work to organically grow and develop. The elements in the painting are independent yet they intertwine with each other, just like every living thing in the universe — a blade of grass, a big tree, a breeze, a cloud, a ripple.

Through the process of repetitive mark-making, Wu Kuan-Te enters an introspective state, reflecting pure imageries of nature in his strokes. It’s as if a seed has fallen onto the canvas, and blossoms exuberantly. The paintings expand naturally and freely, establishing a free-spirited essence. To quote Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, All existing things are really one. The artist believes everything is ultimately connected, and is a part of a bigger picture, and these components are sometimes contradictions that are able to somehow coexist perfectly.

‘Throughout', a solo exhibition by Malaysian art

‘Throughout', a solo exhibition by Malaysian artist Chok Yue Zan (@chokyuezan), focuses on expressing personal memories and emotions of the present. The exhibition features a remarkable collection of mystical and ethereal paintings, reminiscent of lush greenery and littoral landscapes, while contemplating the transitory nature of time.

Since the beginning of his career, Zan has focused on depicting landscapes, especially forests and oceans. The same scenery, recalled at different stages, illustrates a different story, echoing his life experience at the time and its relationship to his memories.

In this exhibition, Zan wants to tell the story of a personal childhood journey. It is a voyage full of joy and sorrow, reminiscing life and death.

Will the memories that have been set in the past gradually blur and become unfamiliar after we go through different experiences?

Join us for the official opening of ’Throughout’ on Saturday, 10 September 2022, 3-7pm.
’Throughout’ runs till 23 October 2022. Exhibition catalogue coming soon.

Art Porters is proud to announce ‘光蘊如鏡 [

Art Porters is proud to announce ‘光蘊如鏡 [The Soul Is Like a Bright Mirror]’, a solo exhibition by renowned Taiwanese artist Wu Kuan-Te (@wu_kuan_te), exploring the fundamental idea of oneness that dates back to Oriental Philosophy—that all existent things, people, and creatures are inseparably entwined as one.

Wu Kuan-Te uses his well-known "subtractive" oil painting method in this exhibition by scraping paint off with organically occurring objects. Each brushstroke in his works reflects a sense of tranquility and peace. Each component of his artwork coexists harmoniously with the others while appearing to be in opposition to one another. Examples of this include light and darkness, presence and absence.

Our spirits will shine as brightly as a mirror if we are calm and truthful, just like the exhibition title suggests. Can we accept who we really are?

‘光蘊如鏡 [The Soul Is Like a Bright Mirror]’ runs till 23 October 2022. Exhibition catalogue coming soon.
