誰先覺的展覽「回聲與共振：存在與成為的相互聯繫」，展出超過30件由五位傑出藝術家的作品，提供一個機會探索生命、意義和藝術之間複雜的關係。這些藝術家的創作過程和藝術關切反映了存在與成為相互聯繫的哲學理念，捕捉了存在與變化、個體與環境、主觀與集體之間的動態互動。

iPRECIATION’s exhibition “Echoes and Resonances: The Interconnection of Being and Becoming” features more than 30 works by five outstanding artists, providing an opportunity to explore the complex relationship between life, meaning and art. These artists’ creative processes and artistic concerns reflect the philosophical notion of the interconnectedness of being and becoming, capturing the dynamic interaction between being and change, individual and environment, subjectivity and collective.

Why it matters:

展覽展出了五位傑出藝術家的作品——米連科·普瓦茨基（Milenko Prvački，1951年生於南斯拉夫/新加坡）、吳才富（Oh Chai Hoo，1960年生於新加坡）、趙思寬（Chiew Sien Kuan，1965年生於新加坡）、巫思遠（Boo Sze Yang，1965年生於新加坡）和葉瑞文（Raymond Yap，1966年生於馬來西亞/新加坡）。他們在東方哲學和當代藝術表達之間取得平衡，佛教觀念「色即是空，空即是色」與本次展覽中藝術家們的方法產生了深刻的共鳴。在「回聲與共振」中，藝術家們挑戰傳統方法，創造了層次豐富、非線性的視覺體驗。他們的畫作特徵是點、線、形狀和顏色構成的豐富畫布，這些元素浮動、重疊並相互衝突，以一種不直白的方式展開。這些元素不遵循順序或層次關係，而是以一種創造混亂和多樣性的方式相互作用。這種方法表明，現實是一個複雜的相互聯繫的元素網絡，而不是一系列離散的對象。

The exhibition features the works of five outstanding artists – Milenko Prvački (born in Yugoslavia/Singapore in 1951), Oh Chai Hoo (born in Singapore in 1960), Chiew Sien Kuan, Boo Sze Yang (born in Singapore in 1965) and Raymond Yap (born in Malaysia/Singapore in 1966). Striking a balance between Eastern philosophy and contemporary artistic expression, the Buddhist concept of “form is emptiness and emptiness is form” resonates deeply with the artists’ approaches in this exhibition. In “Echoes and Resonances,” the artists challenge traditional methods and create a richly layered, non-linear visual experience. Their paintings are characterised by rich canvases of dots, lines, shapes and colours that float, overlap and conflict with each other in a non-literal way. These elements do not follow a sequential or hierarchical relationship but interact in a way that creates chaos and variety. This approach suggests that reality is a complex network of interconnected elements rather than a series of discrete objects.

3 Highlights:

• 展覽「回聲與共振」的藝術家們提供了對存在、感知和現實本質的思考。他們的作品鼓勵觀眾思考形式與空白、現實與幻覺之間的流動邊界，並在其互動中找到美和意義。這個展覽是一次視覺體驗，更是一次哲學旅程的邀請，觀看成為了對萬物相互聯繫的冥想。
• The artists in the exhibition “Echoes and Resonances” reflect on the nature of existence, perception and reality. Their works encourage viewers to consider the fluid boundaries between form and void, reality and illusion, and to find beauty and meaning in their interactions. This exhibition is a visual experience and an invitation to a philosophical journey, where viewing becomes a meditation on the interconnectedness of all things.

• 從本質上講，所有藝術都是抽象的。藝術超越了文字表達，通過不同的媒介傳達思想、情感和體驗，無論是繪畫、雕塑、音樂還是文學。即使是現實主義或具象藝術也包含了象徵、隱喻或主觀視角等抽象元素。藝術的本質在於其能夠喚起表面之外的更深層次的含義，讓觀眾參與到一種反映他們自己的經歷和思考的解釋過程中。
• At its core, all art is abstract. Art goes beyond verbal expression to convey ideas, emotions, and experiences through different media, such as painting, sculpture, music, or literature. Even realist or figurative art contains abstract elements such as symbolism, metaphor, or subjective perspective. The essence of art lies in its ability to evoke deeper meanings beyond the surface, allowing viewers to engage in a process of interpretation that reflects their own experiences and reflections.

• 展覽“回聲與共振”邀請觀眾以個人層面與藝術作品互動，觀眾與藝術的互動是一個共創的過程，藝術作品既是反映個人慾望和恐懼的鏡子，也是連接他們到新視角和體驗的橋梁。藝術提供了一個用於內省和自我發現的空間，邀請觀眾探索自己的內在風景，同時也參與到藝術家的視野和更廣泛的人類體驗中。通過這種動態和互惠的關係，藝術展示了其深度和重要性，將藝術體驗轉化為個人成長和普遍聯繫的有意義的旅程。
• The exhibition “Echoes and Resonances” invites viewers to interact with artworks on a personal level. The interaction between viewers and art is a process of co-creation. The artworks are mirrors reflecting personal desires and fears and bridges connecting them to new perspectives and experiences. Art provides a space for introspection and self-discovery, inviting viewers to explore their inner landscapes while participating in the artist’s vision and the broader human experience. Through this dynamic and reciprocal relationship, art demonstrates its depth and importance, transforming the experience of art into a meaningful journey of personal growth and universal connection.
