展覽介紹
藝術家周珠旺:
我把每一個時刻停留在每一個石課中
我虔誠的把生命中
每一年
每一月
每一天
每一時刻獻上
只為等待瞬間的時時刻刻
他自幼成長於屏東農家環境，自童年時期便照顧鴨群，長期與土地、動物及自然環境相處的生活經驗中，累積了細膩而深刻的感官記憶，也對家庭與家人抱有深厚情感。生活中的人、事、物逐漸成為其創作元素，生命經驗轉化為作品中的形體與質感。近期的石堆創作延伸至立體空間，以油彩、壓克力結合木雕等媒材，將物件重新塑形、堆疊與轉化，使作品在寫實與抽象之間呈現獨特的生命感，以石頭的堆疊與石敢當聳立姿態，象徵守護與堅定，也寄寓藝術家對家庭、土地與生命價值的守護與捍衛。
誠如藝術家為此展自述所言，他虔誠獻上生命的時刻只為等待瞬間的時時刻刻，透過持續而規律的微觀肌理創作過程，將景物、情感與記憶慢慢累積，成為宏觀視覺載體，讓觀者感受從具體景象延伸至哲學性遼闊的時空與生命記憶，系列性創作具有藝術療癒潛能，能從台灣土地與生活景象出發，卻不只是單純的寫實紀錄，以獨具個人特色的寫實技法，透過細密、反覆的技法動作，轉化為獨特的視覺語彙，使景觀凝聚生命深刻的本質。

Exhibition Introduction
Artist Chou Chu-Wang:
“I engrave every hour in every piece of stone.
I am devoting my life.
Every year,
Every month,
Every day,
And every hour.
Only to wait for the hour of the moments.“
Chou Chu-Wang graduated from the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts at National Kaohsiung Normal University. His artistic practice gained early recognition through a series of major awards, including the Grand Prize of the Kaohsiung Arts Award in 2003 and the Taipei Arts Award in 2007. In 2006, he received the top prize in the Oil Painting category of the Nanying Art Award. He was also twice awarded the Chi Mei Arts Award, in its 19th edition in 2007 and 21st edition in 2009. His works have repeatedly distinguished themselves in major competitions, including the Taichung City Dadun Fine Arts Exhibition and the United Daily News New Artist Award. In 2008, he received support from the Council for Cultural Affairs’ Young Artist Study Abroad Program, and the following year was invited to participate as an artist in the Watermill Summer Program in New York. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to pursuing the fullest expression of the spirit of artistic creation.
Growing up in a farming family in Pingtung, Chou cared for ducks from an early age. His long-term experience of living closely with the land, animals, and natural environment has accumulated into subtle yet profound sensory memories, while also nurturing a deep emotional attachment to his family and loved ones. The people, events, and objects encountered in everyday life gradually became elements of his artistic practice, with lived experience transformed into the forms and textures of his works. In his recent series of stone-pile works, this practice extends into three-dimensional space. Combining oil paint, acrylic, wood carving, and other media, Chou reshapes, stacks, and transforms objects, creating works that convey a distinctive sense of vitality between realism and abstraction. The stacked stones and the upright forms of shigandang—traditional stone figures believed to ward off evil and protect a place—symbolize protection and steadfastness. At the same time, they embody the artist’s commitment to safeguarding and defending the values of family, land, and life.
As the artist writes in his statement for this exhibition, he devotes every moment of his life to waiting for those fleeting moments. Through a sustained and disciplined process of creating minute, closely observed textures, he gradually accumulates scenery, emotion, and memory, transforming them into expansive visual forms. Viewers are invited to move from concrete images toward a vast, philosophical sense of space, time, and lived memory. The serial nature of these works also carries a potential for artistic healing. Although they emerge from the landscapes and everyday realities of Taiwan, they are far more than straightforward records of reality. Through a distinctive personal approach to realism and the meticulous, repetitive gestures of his technique, Chou transforms lived experience into a singular visual vocabulary, allowing landscapes to embody and reveal the profound essence of life.
