Artist Statement​

​​​

Her work grows from a state of inner contradiction — the body minuscule, yet perception boundless.

​

Based in Taipei, Luo-Han Chen works with mineral pigments on paper and silk. Drawn from the earth, these pigments carry a will of their own, and the painting’s final form emerges through her negotiation with them.

​

In Night Atlas, moths, orchids, and other unnameable forms surface and recede. Points of light are scattered across the picture plane and connected by intuition. The gesture recalls one of humanity’s oldest acts: to draw order and myth from chaos. Constellations are not given forms in nature, but traces of projection. Chen makes constellations of her own. Meaning is made, yet no less real for being made.

​

Through works such as Night Atlas, Deep Field, and Tidal Breath, she explores uncertainty and perception in flux. Forms appear, dissolve, and return, shifting vision from recognition towards sensation. What emerges is not a fixed image, but a slowly summoned sense of being.

​

Shaped by long attention to small lives, tidal rhythms, and breath, her imagery resists clarity and invites sustained attention. These floating forms are what she leaves behind: places to inhabit, briefly, and dissolve into.

​​

她的創作從一個矛盾的內在狀態長出來——身體極度渺小，感知卻無邊蔓延。

​

現居台北，以礦物顏料於紙、絲上創作。這些來自地層的顏料有自己的意志，她與它們共同決定畫面最終的模樣。

在〈夜圖〉系列中，蛾、蘭花、或無以名狀的形體浮現。星點散布於畫面，她以直覺連線。這個動作重演了人類最古老的姿態：在混沌的宇宙中，將散亂的光點賦予秩序與神話。

星座從來不是自然界既有的形狀，而是人類投射意識的痕跡。她創造自己的星座。意義是被製造的，但它仍然真實。

​

透過〈深域〉〈夜圖〉〈潮汐呼吸〉等系列，她持續探索不確定性與變動中的感知。

畫面中的形體浮現、消散、再度生成，使視覺從辨識移向感知。關於存在的感受，在持續創作的過程中，慢慢被召喚出來。

​

受長期對微小生命、潮汐與呼吸節奏的近距離觀察啟發，她的圖像抗拒清晰，需要持續的專注。

那些漂浮的形體，是她為自己與觀者留下的棲身之處：在無意義之中，一個意義剛剛浮現的瞬間。
