"AUTOPOIESIE: The Power to Create Life" - Retrospective of David Chen's Solo Show
December 25, 2023
"With the successful conclusion of David Chen's solo show 'AUTOPOIESIE' at the New York Contemporary Art Center on December 22, 2023, we look back on this exhibition not only as a review of an artistic event but also as a reappreciation of the profound contemplation by the artist David Chen on the exploration of humanity, self, and reality."
"In this exhibition, David Chen presented his latest series of paintings and installation artworks, showcasing his distinctive artistic style. Introducing the concept of self-creation into his artistic endeavors, David Chen views art as an expression and exploration of life. Self-creation is not just a concept but a force that drives artists to continuously create and explore the depths of their inner worlds. Each artwork is an interrogation of humanity, a reflection on the self, and a projection of reality, garnering praise from both audiences and critics alike."
"AUTOPOIESIE" is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual awakening. It is the artist's inner world, formed after absorbing external knowledge and undergoing self-awareness, introspection, and insight – a kind of inner cyclic world, akin to what Taoism refers to as the "inner cosmos." This inner cyclic state within this inner cosmos is the process of self-creation. It is not limited by any form; everything flows naturally, following the Tao. David Chen's works profoundly reflect humanity's relentless pursuit of self and the meaning of life. His artworks act as a bridge, connecting the invisible threads between the viewer's inner world and the universe.
In the exhibition, viewers can feel the vitality and creativity embedded in David Chen's works. He sees art as a way of self-expression, constantly exploring and innovating through the concept of self-creation, shaping his own artistic world.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is David Chen's bold use of color and form. His works integrate the essence of Eastern philosophy with the techniques of Western contemporary art, presenting a cross-cultural artistic perspective. As viewers admire his pieces, they are immersed in a world full of vitality and creativity.
Through the exhibition, viewers not only have the opportunity to appreciate David Chen's unique artistic style but also to contemplate the relationship between art and life, as well as the importance of self-awareness and creativity. The "AUTOPOIESIE" exhibition is not just an artistic celebration but also a spiritual enlightenment and a collision of thoughts.
Thank you to every attendee who participated in the exhibition, as well as to friends who supported and followed David Chen's artistic journey. Let's look forward to his future splendid works together and continue exploring the infinite charm of art!
