Chimei Museum | Outside of box! Riusuke Fukahori’s goldfish  and Chien-Chung Liao’s gas truck

在這次奇美的參觀裡面，另外兩個印象深刻的藝術家是深堀隆介和廖建忠。如果不是因為導覽的介紹，我一定略過，因為我會覺得不就是金魚和卡車嗎！原來金魚們是深堀隆介利用透明樹脂分層澆淋，然後分層地畫出立體的金魚，乍看之下真的以為是放了金魚標本進去樹脂裡面的藝術作品。藝術家由下往上一層層的堆疊畫出栩栩如生金魚，真是令人佩服！廖建忠的小發財車，作品表現出因為受到撞擊而瓦斯亂飛的樣子，我也本來以為卡車是真的卡車，後來導覽解釋小發財是藝術家利用各種材質製造出來的等比例小發財車，瓦斯桶也是假裡亂真的藝術品。藝術家用仿真的藝術品捕捉發財車撞擊的瞬間，著實讓人可以感受到當時的能量！挺佩服這位台灣的藝術家做自己的特質，看了一些他的專訪，他說除了喜歡把自己喜歡的東西做成藝術品之外，他也喜歡用藝術品來表達某件事情的情緒發洩。

During my visit to the Chimei Museum, two other artists who left a deep impression on me were Riusuke Fukahori and Chien-Chung Liao. Without the guidance of the tour, I might have overlooked their works, thinking, “Isn’t this just goldfish and trucks?” Little did I know the complicated details behind their creations.

Riusuke Fukahori’s layered resin goldfish drawings were truly remarkable. He used transparent resin to create layered, three-dimensional goldfish, and at first glance, I thought they were actual preserved fish specimens embedded in resin. The artist built up these lifelike goldfish layer by layer from the bottom up, showcasing an impressive level of skill and artistry.

Chien-Chung Liao ‘s “Gas Truck” depicted the chaotic aftermath of a gas truck collision, and initially, I mistook this artwork for a real vehicle. However, the tour guide explained that these were proportionally accurate truck and gas cylinders crafted by the artist from various materials. The level of realism achieved in the depiction of the collision was truly captivating. The artist effectively captured the energy of that moment. I admire this Taiwanese artist for staying true to his unique artistic expressions. After reading some of his interviews, Chien-Chung Liao mentioned that he not only enjoys turning things he loves into art but also uses art as a means to release emotions and convey certain feelings.
