簡介

Ricardo Mazal是墨西哥最著名的現代藝術家之一。他採用多種範疇的藝術,包括攝影、數碼技術及繪畫來創作,表達內心深處對生命、死亡,及再生的看法。

2004年,Mazal展開了探索不同文化、地方,及時期的葬禮形式之三部曲。他先以墨西哥瑪雅族的紅色皇后墓作旅程的首站,再到德國奥登林山的和平森林 墓地,最後以西藏最神聖的山峰岡底斯山作為行程的終點。他最近期的創作系列正正是受當地的天空葬禮所啟發。Mazal認為攝影是連接現實與抽象的橋樑,每次的旅程,都以即時攝影紀錄下來。他先將不同的相片輸入電腦以設計出畫作框架的數碼草圖。油畫方面,他細緻的利用泡沫橡膠刀片於畫布上塗上油畫顏料。為了使畫出的線條更鮮明,Mazal以另一未有塗上顏料的刀片以不同的力度掃擦畫面。於是,部份顏料的痕跡就如弱小的胚胎結構一樣留下暗淡模糊的紋理及色彩。

Mazal定期拍下創作中的畫作,將照片與原來的草圖融合,重新審視自己的作品。Mazal往往能從以前的油畫引發出新靈感,並將它們納入新的數碼草圖中。這種再生循環的創作過程,與其探討的生死主題息息相關。

Ricardo Mazal的作品珍藏於美國亞利桑那州斯科特斯德當代藝術博物館、墨西哥城的現代藝術博物館、墨西哥薩卡特卡斯的Manuel Felguerez抽象藝術博物館、巴黎瑪格藝術基金會,及紐約與德國的德意志銀行。2006年,他於墨西哥城現代美術館舉辦了個人創作回顧展。

Mazal現時分別於墨西哥城及新墨西哥州聖菲兩地定居。

Ribbons like light waves undulate across Ricardo Mazal’s mammoth oils. They could reflect the texture of tree bark underpinned by the horizontal geometry of a music staff. Light flickers across the raised ridges of paint like filaments.

Sundaram Tagore’s “World Art” Fills a Venetian Palazzo May 2015

Sundaram Tagore had his first taste of the Venice Biennale as a graduate student, when a scholarship from the Italian Ministry of Culture landed him in the city to study museology at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Now, 26 years on, with eponymous galleries in New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong, Tagore has returned to mount his own exhibition to run alongside the 56th Venice Biennale.

泰戈爾後人 「藝術是歷史解碼器」 October 2013

「當我們大為謙卑的時候,便是我們最接近偉大的時候。(We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility)」這是曾獲諾貝爾文學獎的印度大文豪泰戈爾(Rabindranath Tagore)讓人耳熟能詳的名句。他周遊列國,與徐悲鴻、譚雲山為友,對促進東西文化最落力,描寫也最為細膩,甚至影響中國一代詩風。個半世紀後,泰戈爾對文化融通的深層視野仍然像基因遺傳在第五代子孫 Sundaram Tagore 的血液裏。「當我曾曾祖父拿到諾貝爾文學獎後,把獎金都捐到大學去,他深信人道主義(humanity)而非民族主義(nationalism)會令世界變好。我也深受影響,藝術不是商品也不只講求美輪美奐,最重要是有沒有達到歷史解碼的功能。」Sundaram Tagore這印度大文豪之後如是說。他更侃侃而談「文化衝擊」作為自己收藏和經營事業的單一準則與品味。

"A Hong Kong gallery is taking an upbeat attitude by presenting major names in its exhibitions [...] Even as galleries along the city's arts and antiques hub, Hollywood Road axe show and offer fewer high-priced works to tide over the global credit crunch, Sundaram Tagore continues to showcase major pieces by the artists it represents."

Preview: Here and Now at Sundaram Tagore Gallery March 2009

Art historian Sundaram Tagore's doctoral thesis looks at Indian artists' response to European modernisation from the 1940s to 1980s. As a curator, however, his focus is more on the here and now. Hence the title of his gallery's latest group exhibition by 18 international artists, which opens today at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery's Hong Kong branch.
