Fairy Whisper: A Duo Exhibition by HUANG PIN TONG and MIYAKO TERAKURA

Taipei

September 3 - October 15, 2022

INTRODUCTION

Despite coming from diverse origins, the two female artists both employ a variety of mediums, colors, and patterns to create a visual vocabulary with children's rounded characteristics. Wood and clay are given new life through the sculpture art form, which reflects the warmth and healing force. More than 20 pieces produced between 2021 and 2022 are shown for the first time by this duo exhibition at Whitestone Gallery Taipei. While it is true that the creative processes for woodcarving and ceramics are very different, like subtraction and addition, in the process of repeatedly eliminating and stacking, the reinterpretation of the same characteristics opens a dialogue through the exhibition. Being there was like witnessing two little children who were meeting for the first time, shyly exploring their similarities and differences with one another.

ABOUT

HUANG PIN TONG

HUANG PIN TONG

Huang Pin Tong was born in Taipei, Taiwan. She received the top honour in Taiwan's contemporary art woodcarving category, the Gold Prize of the YULON Woodcarving Innovation Awards. She was given the privilege to host a solo exhibition, titled "Meet" at YU-HSIU Art Museum in 2017. Since then, the exhibition has garnered a lot of interest. Huang's works show that she has exceptional coping abilities for reinterpreting natural objects. The soft and delicate feet of babies, in particular, have become a feature of Huang Pin Tong's works. The colourful and fluffy body, like a spiritual reliance on the thickness of life, makes people feel full and rich in their hearts, which itself is supplemented by the warmth of wood material, that further vibrantly sets off the atmosphere.

Additionally, she spent half a year studying at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Poland in 2018.
