文化部指導，國立臺灣美術館主辦之「全國美術展」，自民國100年舉辦迄今，藉由每年公開徵件的競賽方式，建構多元交流平臺，吸引全國各地藝術創作者的競逐切磋。本展共分為11類別徵件，包含水墨、書法、篆刻、膠彩、油畫、水彩、版畫、雕塑、攝影、新媒體藝術及綜合媒材類，今年共徵得931件作品，入選以上得獎作品業已於7月17日至10月10日於國立臺灣美術館展出。

為提升作品能見度及深耕地區藝術推廣、服務地區觀眾，本屆特別推出「110年全國美術展」巡迴展，串聯臺南及臺東的場域，於110年10月16日至11月24日於國立臺南生活美學館第一展覽室展出本展水墨類、油畫類共34件作品；於110年10月20日至11月21日於國立臺東生活美學館主展覽室展出膠彩類、水彩類、版畫類共24件作品。

展出作品以精彩的藝術語彙論述、辯證各類議題：或以寫生觀點切入，描繪出個人生活體驗的視覺符碼；或以神話傳說為發想，隱喻當代社會及世局；或以情感經驗的體悟為出發點，透露出豐沛的情感張力。在各類別不同媒材的轉譯、詮釋下，讓作品在內容上陳述多元的脈絡及風貌。

本展也期待能持續在當前臺灣藝術競賽展的豐富地景中，借鑒交融，貫徹以拔擢美術創作人才、鼓勵美術創作為目的之宗旨。特別感謝國立臺南生活美學館、國立臺東生活美學館對本次巡迴展的支持與協助。

Since its inauguration in 2011, the “National Art Exhibition, R.O.C.” supervised by Ministry of Culture and organized by National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts has built a diverse exchange platform through annual open call for submissions, attracting artists throughout Taiwan to participate in the competition. The exhibition calls for submissions in 11 categories, including Ink Painting, Chinese Calligraphy, Seal Engraving, Gouache Painting, Oil Painting, Watercolor Painting, Prints, Sculpture, Photography, New Media Arts, and Mixed Media. This year, the exhibition received 931 submissions, and the exhibition showcasing the award-winning and selected works was held at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts from July 17 to October 10.

To increase the visibility of the works and enhance regional promotion of art, servicing regional audiences, this year’s exhibition specially launches the “2021 National Art Exhibition, R.O.C.” tour, linking venues in Tainan and Taitung. The tour will showcase a total of 34 works in the Ink Painting and Oil Painting categories at Exhibition Room 1, National Tainan Living Art Center, from October 16 to November 24, 2021, and 24 works in the Gouache Painting, Watercolor Painting, and Prints categories at the Main Exhibition Hall, National Taitung Living Art Center, from October 20 to November 21, 2021.

The exhibited works focus on exciting discourses on artistic vocabularies and dialectics on various topics; or adopt a drawing perspective to depict the visual symbols of personal life experiences; or find inspirations in myths and legends to create metaphors of contemporary society and the current situation of the world; or reveal rich emotional tensions derived from realizations through emotional experiences. Through the translation and interpretation of different media, the works present through contents diverse narratives of contexts and styles.

This exhibition also looks forward to continually learning from the current landscape of diverse art competitions in Taiwan, and strives to achieve the purpose of discovering creative talents and encouraging artistic creation. Special thanks to National Tainan Living Art Center and National Taitung Living Art Center for the support and assistance of the tour.
