藝術之所以吸引人，是因為它不斷地創造與演進。
熊宇將于12月18日在偏鋒新藝術空間推出個展“Angel in City”。這是繼2006年個展“安靜的流逝”、2008年“塔羅”之后的第三次重要展覽。在過去的四年中，熊宇從一個懵懂青春少年逐漸成長為備受期待的重要的青年藝術家。熊宇對繪畫的認識和創作越發寬容和自由。極具代表性的熊宇式大眼睛，傳遞出青春的迷茫、對自由的向往，偶有悵然神色，卻透出寧靜而深邃的神情。因而被視作熊宇藝術歷程中日臻成熟的佳境之作。
在此次展覽中，熊宇賦予每個“熊宇式人物”以不同角色：光之索引者、工作者、煉鋼者、工匠等等。延續作品《塔羅》對精神世界的探索，人物在聚光燈般光線下烘托出一種趨向內心的氛圍。其關注點更是從對個人情緒的關照擴展到對社會群體的思考。每個人都有理想的翅膀，他們扮演不同角色在暗夜中舞蹈。這不但是浪漫的想象，也是對現實里未能達到理想的向往。畫中人物眼中流淌著安靜與哀傷，景致在他的筆下被賦予了神秘而深邃的美。作品成為儲藏理想的方式，讓每位觀者為似曾相識的身影感動，折射了當代年輕人心靈深層的氛圍，也是對青春難以追回的悵然。
時值圣誕節期間，偏鋒展廳將以特別“裝扮”配合熊宇，上演劇情版展覽“Angel in City”。此次展覽將于2月10日結束。

Dramatic Exhibition “Angel in City” Presented in PIFO
Art is so attractive for its constantly creation and evolution.
Xiong Yu’s Solo Exhibition “Angel in City” will be exhibited in PIFO New Art Gallery on December 18th, 2009. It is the third important solo exhibition after “Running on Tranquilly” in the year of 2006 and “Tarot” in the year of 2008. In the past four years, Xiong Yu from an ignorant young adolescent gradually became an expected and important young artist. And his understanding and creation becomes more and more tolerative and free. Among all his works, his representative style “Big Eyes” begins to change into the confusion of youth and the yearning for freedom gradually. Although there is disappointed expression in it, there is also quiet and profound expression. Therefore, works in this period are regarded as the pleasant and mature works in his art experiences.
In this exhibition, Xiong Yu gives each character which is Xiong Yu style a different role such as Index Man of Light, Worker, Steel-making Worker and Craftsman, etc. Continue the exploration in Spiritual World of his work “Tarot”, characters show an inner atmosphere under the beams of spotlights. Its focus from the personal emotion becomes the consideration towards social communities. Everyone has ideal wings and they play a different role dancing in the dark night. This is not only the romantic imagination but also the yearning for ideal unreached in the reality. There is tranquilly and grief in the character’s eyes, meanwhile, scenery is given a mysterious and profound beauty under his painting. Works become a way to store ideality, let each visitor move in the familiar shadow and refract the atmosphere in the deep heart of the contemporary young people. This is also a disappointment for unrecovering youth.
Christmastime, PIFO New Art Gallery will make a special “dress up” with Xiong Yu and present a Dramatic Exhibition “Angel in City”. This exhibition will end on Feb. 10th, 2010.
