2024 Jose Macias from TING TING ART SPACE 丁丁藝術空間

荷西 (Jose Macias) 1963年出生於西班牙，他自述：這些風景畫被稱作 “由於顯⽽易⾒的原因，這些風景被稱為雙曲線。它們是誇張的風景，⽤⼤量的油填充物和幾乎雕塑般的偽裝加劇。根源基本上是 表現主義的，在地平線上，只有地平線會被留下來達到純粹的抽象。在這 條天際線，天地，相互沾染，分不清從哪裡開始，從哪裡結束。那個幾乎 總是睡著的春天，這是我們無法控制的。

這些風景變成了⼀種不同的情感語⾔。我的意圖是，當觀看者觀看它們 時，會感覺到在構成記憶的巨⼤抽屜的某個未知折疊中漂浮或駐留的某種 記憶的⼀組情感和感覺被重溫。它是關於繪畫的，本能的和原始的，沒有 進⼀步的偽裝。

當我繪畫時，我並不尋求復制現實。相反，我想要的是表現⼀種平⾏反 射，在那⾥風景從記憶或瞬間的脆弱中被喚起、直覺或理解。⼀種情感的 閃光，記憶像遐想⼀樣恢復風景，像輕微的記憶⽂件引起的火花，在我們 的腦海中蜂擁⽽⾄，有時想要再次活躍起來。所以它們看起來不像現實， 也不需要“。

Jose Macias was born in 1963 in Spain. He describes his landscape paintings as, "For obvious reasons, these landscapes are called hyperbolic landscapes. They are exaggerated landscapes, filled with a large amount of oil stuffing and almost sculptural camouflage. The root is essentially expressionist, where only the horizon is left on the horizon to achieve pure abstraction. On this horizon, the sky and the earth, mutually contaminated, cannot be distinguished from where it begins and where it ends. That almost always sleepy spring, this is something we cannot control.

These landscapes become a different emotional language. My intention is that when the viewer looks at them, they feel a set of emotions and sensations floating or lingering in some unknown fold of the vast drawer that constitutes memory. It is about painting, instinctive and primitive, without further disguise.

When I paint, I do not seek to replicate reality. Instead, what I want is to express a parallel reflection, where landscapes are evoked from the fragility of memory or the fleeting moment, intuition or understanding. A flash of emotion, memories recovering landscapes like fantasies, sparks ignited by faint memory files, rushing into our minds, sometimes wanting to come alive again. So they don't look like reality, and they don't need to."
