本日より台湾生まれアメリカ育ちのミクストメディア画家、Brian Chih-Chiang Lo 氏の個展～Moments 時 (とき) ～がスタートしました。
「結合と分離」および「生と死」をコンセプトとした今回のシリーズは、自然の中に動的に存在するものを静的な『画』という形で一つ一つの瞬間（とき）を捉え、それぞれの違う表情や思いを表現し、常に進化している世界の過程（プロセス）にもっと注目していというメッセージが込められています。
Brian氏の日本での初個展に是非足をお運び頂ければ幸いです。
■Brian C. Lo 個展～Moments 時 (とき) ～
会期：2015年9月2日（水）～9月18日（金）
Every moment of nature’s process embodies particular memories and emotions. “Moments” explores the course of: growth and rest, and union and separation. Each mixed medium painting is composed in a still, and yet, dynamical manner to portray the fluid aspect of nature.
Parallel to time and water, nature cycles perpetually.
Each moment of nature’s journey is deserving and meaningful. The aesthetic relevance lays within our appreciation for nature’s fluidity, how it removes, divides, infuses, unites, reshapes, transforms, amplifies and renews. It is progressive and process-oriented.

Brian Chih-Chiang Lo
1980年。2004年アラスカ大学絵画科で学士号 (BFA)取得、2010年ハワイ大学スタジオアート研究科で修士号(MFA)取得。2011年ホノルルアカデミーにより作品収蔵された。アメリカでは、主にバーチャル世界と現実世界における人間関係に関する作品を制作し、来日後自然と人間の融合を主なテーマとして制作している。
Brian Chih-Chiang Lo was born in Taiwan in 1980, and raised in Alaska and Hawaii. He received his BFA in Painting from the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2004. After working in New York City, he returned to Hawaii and later received his MFA in Studio Arts from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Lo is a Taiwanese American mixed medium painter. The Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts collected his work as a top emerging artist in Hawaii. As an artist and an exhibition designer, Lo’s previous research explores the notion of connection. It examines human’s attraction and obsession to be connected through our physical and digital communities.
After relocating to Tokyo, Lo has been inspired to look into the connections between human and nature. He craves further understanding and to be reconnected with nature. With a primal thirst, Lo began to seek out different elements of nature. He later realized, after collecting and sampling plants within this megalopolis, that nature is everywhere, when you pay attention to it.
