1 1 月, 2025 @ 9:00 上午 - 17 1 月, 2025 @ 4:00 下午
銘傳大學桃園校區設計大樓3樓「商設藝廊」，即日起至2025/1/17止展出蔣熊個展「我們是一樣的，卻又不一樣。Same same and different.」，歡迎全校師生免費前往欣賞。
「我們是一樣的，卻又不一樣。Same same and different.」創作理念：居住在郊外有一個小菜園，在整理菜園時有許多事情要做，雜草要去除、樹的枝幹要修剪、堆疊的葉子樹幹分類，易於腐爛的放進堆肥裡，其他曬乾點火變成草木灰···，常常弄得全身都是土。這樣的勞動是疲憊的，當走進菜園裡神奇的時刻就會發生，天空會有美麗的風景，腳踩著土壤，流動之間創造出冥想的寂靜，勞動的身體擦亮內心的光芒，試著用畫筆創造出那些和諧與愉悅的時候。生命裡的生存工具與信號一直存在於我們的內心，我們會知道去哪裡找尋真實，我們會知道何時去說出屬於自己的真實。慢慢來，所需要的一切早已為你準備好。
蔣熊，2009年銘傳大學設計創作研究所畢業，以插畫、平面設計、雕塑與繪畫為業的藝術創作者。喜愛大自然，摹仿自然裡的法則以及它如何運作，跟著身體的直覺在創作裡共同作用。個人品牌「蔣熊料理」，料理為動詞，在生活裡選擇想要的題材、呈現的方式與自己對白，商品有明信片、卡片、絹印布袋等，作品在書籍、雜誌、偶像劇、悠遊卡、文具禮品等不同合作經驗。
The Business Design Gallery, located on the third floor of the Design Building at Taoyuan Campus, is showcasing Bear Chiang’s solo exhibition, “Same Same and Different”, now through January 17, 2025. Faculty and students are welcome to visit and enjoy the exhibition free of charge.
Concept Behind Same Same and Different:
Living in the suburbs with a small vegetable garden, Bear Chiang describes the labor-intensive tasks involved—removing weeds, pruning branches, sorting leaves and tree limbs, composting organic waste, and burning dried materials into ash—all of which often leave one covered in dirt. However, amidst the fatigue, magical moments arise: breathtaking skies, the feel of soil underfoot and meditative stillness created through movement. This physical labor illuminates an inner light, inspiring the artist to use a brush to recreate those harmonious, joyful moments.
Life’s tools and signals are inherently within us, guiding us to seek and speak our truth. “Take your time; everything you need is already prepared for you”, Bear Chiang reflects.
About the Artist:
Bear Chiang graduated in 2009 from Ming Chuan University of Design and is an artist working in illustration, graphic design, sculpture and painting. Passionate about nature, Chiang draws inspiration from its rules and rhythms, creating with instinct and intuition. The artist’s personal brand, “Bear Chiang’s Recipe”, employs “cooking” as a metaphor for crafting themes and expressions in life, resulting in products like postcards, cards, silkscreened tote bags, and collaborations across books, magazines, TV dramas, transportation cards and stationery.
