Mindscape – Tang Jo-Hung, Lin Wei-Hsiang, Shinji Ohmaki, Matěj Macháček, Chou Kai-Lun
Mind Set Art Center is honored to present “Mindscape” at Art Taipei 2025. Mindscape brings together five artists from Taiwan, Japan, and the Czech Republic: Tang Jo-Hung, Lin Wei-Hsiang, Shinji Ohmaki, Matěj Macháček, and Chou Kai-Lun. Each artist charts an interior landscape shaped by personal memory, perception, and lived experience. Their works drift between abstraction and narrative, forming a quiet dialogue across cultures and generations.
For Tang Jo-Hung, painting is an encounter between the self and its double, a negotiation between intuition and reason. His daily ritual unfolds across fiberboard surfaces through dragging, swirling, and scraping gestures, leaving behind traces like those of a traveler. Rather than offering clear messages, his works invite viewers into a contemplative journey.
Lin Wei-Hsiang focuses exclusively on painting. Through layered brushstrokes, he captures the rhythms of nature and fragments of memory. His serene compositions reveal a sense of stillness and introspection, constructing landscapes imbued with quiet poetic resonance.
Shinji Ohmaki’s sculptural works explore the thresholds of perception. Using air, light, and material as mediums, he creates tranquil yet fluid environments where the viewer’s body becomes part of the spatial experience.
Matěj Macháček draws from the landscapes of both the Czech Republic and Taiwan, weaving together impressions of distinct terrains. His paintings unfold through subtle shifts in light and color, and through strong contrasts of complementary hues, he creates a surreal viewing experience that extends beyond representation.
Chou Kai-Lun moves between photography and painting, transforming fragments of digital imagery into a reconstructed painterly language. His works reflect the emotional states and existential outlines of a younger generation, tracing coherence within fragmentation.
Together, these artists reveal the many ways in which inner landscapes can be rendered and felt. Through diverse materials and approaches, Mindscape invites viewers into layered mental and emotional terrains, echoing the contemporary intersections of East Asia and Central Europe.
