承心啓藝 – 陳啓村木雕藝術特展

展覽簡介

「木雕」是工藝師揀選合適木材，運用刻鑿工具，投入專注心念及純熟技藝對木類媒材進行精雕細琢，進而展現的一種立體藝術。異於堆疊累加，在木雕創作中，除融入創作者的思想與創造力外，更是以一種「減法方式」不斷去蕪存菁的重要探索歷程。

木雕作為臺灣重要傳統工藝項目之一，無論在宮廟與家庭生活中所供俸的神像、神龕及不同樣式木作器物上的運用都非常顯而易見。在工藝師一雕一鑿以巧思凝縮的空間中，木雕所演繹的減法算式，不但見證木雕工藝與民間信仰的蓬勃發展，也呈現木雕文化與常民生活密不可分的多元樣貌。

陳啓村大師自1976年向福州派粧佛師林依水習藝起，投入木雕領域近五十年，承繼傳統木雕工藝的精髓，積極尋求技藝心法的累積與知識經驗的突破。以不懈的匠人精神開啓傳統工藝與現代藝術融合的新思維，更透過多元跨領域合作方式推廣木雕，開拓並豐富藝術生活。2020年陳啓村獲頒國家工藝成就獎，其作品涵蓋傳統木雕及現代雕塑系列作品， 不間斷地如年輪般累積傳承，亦與時俱進地綿延展望，展現臺灣當代木雕工藝最動人的生命力。

本次特展以「承心啓藝」為題，精心挑選66件作品，規劃「承．習藝的開端」、「心．藝念的積累」、「啓．當代的觀照」及「藝．多元的交響」四大單元，分別呈現陳啓村如何從傳統木雕逐步踏入現代雕塑，並在傳統木雕面臨科技演進與時代需求轉變下，不畏挑戰持續自我成長、尋求突破與創新的精彩過程。

National Crafts Achievement Award

Wood Carving from the Heart ：Chi-Tsun Chen's Wood Carving Art Exhibition

Exhibition Overview

 Wood carving is a three-dimensional art in which artisans select suitable wood and use carving tools with focused mindfulness and refined skills to intricately sculpt wooden materials. Unlike additive processes, wood carving embodies a “subtractive approach,” where creators continuously refine and distill the essence of their vision through careful removal, integrating their thoughts and creativity into the process.

 As one of Taiwan's significant traditional crafts, wood carving is evident in its applications for deity statues, altars, and various wooden objects used in temples and households. In the carefully condensed space shaped by each thoughtful chisel stroke, wood carving’s subtractive artistry not only reflects the flourishing development of wood carving craftsmanship and folk beliefs but also showcases its inseparable connection to everyday life and culture.

 Master Chi-Tsun Chen, who began his apprenticeship under Fuzhou-style deity carver Yi-Shui Lin in 1976, has dedicated nearly fifty years to the field of wood carving. He has inherited the essence of traditional wood carving while actively seeking to enhance his techniques and break through the boundaries of knowledge and experience. With relentless artisan spirit, he has pioneered a new perspective that blends traditional crafts with modern art, promoting wood carving through diverse interdisciplinary collaborations.

 In 2020 Chen was honored with the National Crafts Achievement Award. His works encompass both traditional wood carvings and modern sculpture series, continuously accumulating and passing down knowledge like the growth rings of a tree, steadily evolving with the times and extending into the future. This embodies the most vibrant and moving vitality of contemporary Taiwanese wood carving craftsmanship.

 This special exhibition, titled Wood Carving from the Heart, showcases 66 meticulously selected works. It is divided into four thematic sections: "The Beginning of Apprenticeship," "Accumulating Artistic Knowledge," "Observing the Contemporary," and "A Symphony of Diversity." These sections highlight how Chi-Tsun Chen transitioned from traditional wood carving to modern sculpture, overcoming challenges posed by technological advancements and evolving societal demands. The exhibition illustrates his ongoing journey of personal growth, relentless pursuit of innovation, and remarkable breakthroughs in the art of wood carving.
