關於陳顯棟
畫家陳顯棟是大自然的心靈補手，其作品純淨而高雅，充滿著對大自然及神秘宇宙的詠嘆與讚美。 他不斷的嘗試新媒材的實驗與創新，對於油畫材料運用上的改良也非常的用心，繪畫語言細膩而豐富，其作品夢幻的影像翻騰起伏，色彩強度的對比。 適如其分的點線及色塊，生動而活潑，乾淨利落的筆法將大自然內在的力量表現得淋漓盡致，他敏銳而巧妙的創造出氣韻生動的作品，這種具有現代意識的東方美學思想自然而然的呈現出來，多層次的神秘氛圍深深觸動觀者的心弦，獨具雋永的藝術韻味。 他的理念是每一幅作品都要經得起時間長河的考驗，所以他每一張作品都是經過他長期的自我要求，努力創作不懈，才量少質精的將其精華呈現在我們眼前。 近來他的作品已漸獲得應有的認識與重視，且他是唯一兩次獲選參加北京雙年展的臺灣畫家，相信他創立的畫風必能在歷史上獲得其應有的地位！
第一眼看到陳顯棟老師的作品，您一定猜不出這位藝術家的年紀，通過絢爛色彩與抽象神祕形式的交織、充滿生命力的世界，您會以為來到另一個桃花源。
看過吳冠中(1919-2010)、朱德群(1920-2014)、趙無極(1921-2013)、莊喆(1934-)等近代抽象繪畫藝術家，他們或師法自然、或浸潤西洋美術、或融合水墨文化，皆透過長期的思索淬鍊，引導出以不同的媒材、發展出各自的抽象形態，在國際上也享有不凡的藝術地位。如今陳顯棟先生的作品，又會讓人驚嘆原來還有另一種詩像抽象！
陳顯棟老師是早期深受印象派影響，對形、色、空間、節奏的探索，以其敏銳的心思，對造型與色彩的互動、對應關係，發揮到淋漓盡致。陳老師創作的另一個特點是勇於挑戰媒材，不要以為”玩”媒材只是當代的、年輕的藝術家專利，早在古典油畫當道的1960年代，陳老師就曾用酒精淋燒甘蔗板做大幅抽象畫，爾後還利用油漆、塑膠、化工顏料、纖維、各種建材改良入畫；除此之外，還進一步鑽研化工、染料、絹印、印刷、設計等繁複的技術。這些種種的努力，歸因於陳老師對藝術創作的求新表現：新技巧、新方式、新思想、新觀念。
陳顯棟老師利用研究了一、二十年的特殊技法，將杜邦油漆(汽車烤漆)的耐烤曬特質運用在畫布上，加上運用樹脂調和油畫顏料產生各種粗細線條的薄膜來搭配畫面，作品講究現代的造型語彙，從內心引發出介於抽象與具象間的真實感受，陳顯棟老師也是台灣藝術家唯一連續受邀參加三屆北京國際雙年展、兩屆全國美展的貴賓名單，作品藝術受到極大的肯定。
CHEN HSIEN TUNG
In his early years, Mr. Chen was deeply influenced by Impressionism, acutely aware of shape, color space, and exploration of rhythm and harmony. His sensitivity to the interaction and correspondence of shapes and colors allows him to bring out the best of his artistic abilities. Another one of Mr. Chen’s exceptional attributes is his courage to challenge creative mediums. Do not be mistaken in the belief that ‘playing’ with media is simply a novel, contemporary practice; in the early popularity of classical oil painting in the 1960s, Mr. Chen used alcohol to burn sugar cane planks, creating vast works of abstraction. Thereafter, he has also made use of paints, plastics, chemical substances, fibers, and various building supplies transformed into materials of art. Furthermore, Mr. Chen has delved into the exploration of technical chemicals, dyes, and silk screen printing. His industrious efforts have augmented the innovation of art performance with new skills, new ways, new ideas, and new concepts.
Mr. Chen has applied almost two decades’ worth of technical studies to his works, with DuPont (automotive) paint with glare-resistant qualities on canvas, plus resin and oil paint to produce a variety of thickness to complement the canvas. His pieces cherish modern styles and uncover the median between the abstract and the figurative.
CHEN HSIEN TUNG is also the only Taiwanese artist invited to participate in three consecutive Beijing International Biennales and two National Art Exhibitions involving highly distinguished artists.
