Painting WANG REN-JYE

WANG REN-JYE(1962-)

WANG REN-JYE was born in Taichung in 1962.

Graduated from the Western Painting Section of the Fine Arts Department of Cultural University in 1986.

Graduated from the Institute of Fashion and Media, Practical University, 2012.

As a member of the “Taipei School of Painting,” in the 1980s, he actively promoted new ideas and artistic concepts from the perspective of a new generation of artists.After living in France in 1990, WANG REN-JYE reorganized the artistic language of the East and the West, and the writing lines of the East ran in the empty space created by color.

My work is not related to political or social criticism, but is a return to the artist’s original mood of “speech outwardly, empty and quiet in the heart, and if green hills are to be seen by others,” which is a reflection on life, philosophy, and emotions.WANG REN-JYE wanders through the ambiguous boundary between material and abstract expression. Between the square inches of the canvas, there is infinite space, dexterity and quiet poetry.At the same time, while pursuing the form of liberation picture, we do not forget the culture hidden in the gene, the ink is interested in the abstract and lyrical picture, and the Chinese culture is preserved.To convey the excitement of imagination and life experience in nature, and to establish another peak of oriental lyric aesthetics.

Joint Exhibition

Endless Land of Mountain City.
2009
Oil paint、Canvas
390x162cm

Gazing into the distance of the mountain peak, it appears far away but in reality, it’s just within reach, beyond the clouds. Ascending the layered peaks, resembling a “box of firewood,” the homeland of dreams reveals itself. There, the lush greenery is quietly covered by fiery red, whether red tempts the blue and green—or if the blue and green forever flourish. Here, there is boundless sky and land, and the ensuing red spreads throughout the entire mountaintop. Boundless sky and land allow my memories to soar limitlessly. As long as you’re willing, the “Endless Land of Mountain City” will always be your homeland—only in dreams.

Yellow holds a special symbolic meaning among Chinese people. It represents the color of the Earth and holds a central position in the concept of Five Elements. I focus on the interplay of colors black, yellow, and white in my artwork. Their collision creates sparks that evoke poetic and emotional resonance. At times, I use solvents to drip and flow onto the yellow and white areas, cutting through and generating a dynamic and captivating emotion. This conveys a sense of poetry and sensitivity. The bold strokes of black intrude upon the golden earth, reminiscent of the sudden sound of thunder, transforming the visual experience into an auditory one. It is similar to the way Bai Juyi describes music in his poem “Song of the Pipa,” where he depicts the sound of the instrument through words: “The loud and rushing sound of the strings, the soft and whispering tone of the small strings; the clamor and precision of the overlapping playing, like large and small pearls falling on a jade plate.” This transformation of visuals into sound becomes an everlasting presence in one’s ears.

The verdant green gradually turns yellow, donning a new attire. The fertile earth breathes life. While the heat of “Late Summer” and the Three Fu subsides, the autumn tiger awaits ahead. Despite the impending chill, I long for the season of “White Dew” when autumn sets in with full vigor. In reality, I cherish the coolness of autumn!

Not for the sake of depicting scenery, but to express that passion, “weary emotions,” “weary emotions,” no longer linger in the dream.

Taste of the season

Oil paint、Canvas

The days of Paris in summer, meeting friends to pick cherries, looking up at the tall trees in the garden, adorned with glistening, ruby-like fruits. The taste of time in the cherry orchard is pink and bittersweet. Time stands still in the garden, laughter remains constant, and friendship is unwavering…

        God has cleverly tilted the Earth by 23.5 degrees, creating different changes in the state of all living things based on their distance from the sun and latitude. Different seasons bring different vegetation and colors that attract the attention of all. The memories of past experiences are engraved in the timeline of our minds, and these memories hold colors that have warmth, the temperature of seasons. It is worth it for us to “savor time – savor seasons.”
