INTRODUCTION
白石画廊台北欣然推出艺术家孟耿如（ARU Meng）个展〈ARU幻梦星空〉，展出多件全新平面绘画以及雕塑作品。在去年多了母亲身份的孟耿如，对于看待世界和宇宙有了不同的态度，希望借由已被遗忘的视角去追寻探索，邀请观众透过其作品重新发现这个世界，找回心中深处最为纯真的心灵。此次展览并为艺术家在画廊的第二次个展。
在这个宇宙里，每一个生存过的人，都相应有一颗星星在天空闪耀。
此次展览中，艺术家多以圆形作为作品元素，交织出ARU的星空世界。圆形有着无限的概念，艺术家想透过圆带给观者一个无限制的想像空间，犹如一个无边际的外太空，尽情地寻找发现，在一个没有被界定的时空之中，尽情翱翔。艺术家并首次尝试大型木雕创作，从手稿、切块、敲打、上色、反覆检视到最终完成作品，艺术家仔细刻画赋予ARU具象雕塑丰厚的情感和生命力。作品《ARU的内心宇宙》，主角ARU的身体有一个小宇宙，而在那浩瀚的宇宙之中，有着无尽的力量，就像我们每个人有着无限潜能，等待着闪闪发光。《ARU的粉红外星怪》，有着多彩颜色的多头生物载着ARU仿佛准备要进行一场宇宙探险。此外，绘画创作系列并增添了许多新角色与ARU一起在这如梦似幻的时空中展开精彩历险。
ABOUT
ARU Meng
ARU Meng
Born in Taipei in 1991, ARU Meng has embarked on a creative journey in the field of art, exploring various mediums and techniques. From acrylic paint to Spanish wax paint, and from wood sculpture to media like paint and cement, Meng fearlessly experiments with different materials to express her artistic perspective. Meng’s works exhibit a strong personal style, radiating a unique charm of innocence that captivates viewers. Among her creations, the signature flower-headed alien, ARU, takes center stage, inviting audiences into a vibrant and fantastical world of imagination.
For ARU Meng, the act of creation initially served as an escape from the distractions of the outside world. However, in this process, she unexpectedly discovered a hidden aspect of herself. Artistic creation has now become the most authentic and powerful means through which she expresses herself. As Meng traverses the realm of painting materials, her soul is set free, enabling her to convey delicate emotions and convey her profound understanding and fearless approach to life. Through her art, Meng has the ability to evoke the purest and deepest thoughts residing within the hearts of viewers.
