"After Them" Huang Shun-Ting (黃舜廷) and Peng Yi-Hsuan (彭奕軒) Joint Exhibition
A Gallery (當代一畫廊) presents the exhibition "After Them," featuring works by artists Huang Shun-Ting (黃舜廷) and Peng Yi-Hsuan (彭奕軒). The title "After" refers not just to a simple chronological sequence but to the "turning point" formed during transitional phases. How does creation continue after experiences, images, and events occur? And how does one look back at oneself within that continuation? This exhibition unfolds in this context, responding to themes of continuation, replication, and disappearance through the different methodologies and viewing strategies of the two artists, looking back at the "before" and staring at the "present" from the state of "after."
Huang Shun-Ting's recent creative shift is closely related to the completion of his doctoral research and two subsequent residency experiences. During his residencies in Chishang, Taitung, and Bangkok, Thailand, he used "parody" as a practical method, deliberately invoking and reconstructing his own existing works, making previous works a visual structure that can be reactivated. Through imitation, reset, and translation, original images are dismantled and replaced under local conditions, both retaining existing vocabulary and absorbing local observations and cultural differences. "Self-replication" thus no longer means returning to the starting point, but generating deviation within repetition and difference within the transition of sites.
In contrast, Peng Yi-Hsuan's creation stems from changes in family structure and the intersection of life cycles. The birth of his daughter and his father's illness made "home" a place for re-gazing. Meanwhile, the publication of the "East-West Messenger" art book organized his ten-year creative trajectory, while his father's thesis from his youth studying in Japan constitutes a potential historical reference and generational link. This creation thus returns to drawing, the basic form of painting, a medium most direct and closest to the body and time. Still life and daily objects at home manifest their weight in the depiction; they are both visual representations and developments of memory. Gaze and slow depiction become his way of digesting disappearance and death.
The two artists start from systemic practices of self-replication and the gaze at family objects, respectively—one continuing images through difference, the other approaching time in silence. In this sense, "After Them" points to a creative state after images are invoked, after experiences are looked back upon, and after life cycles manifest.
We sincerely invite friends to visit the exhibition and experience the creative visions of these two artists together.
