你的平靜就是家—莊東橋
Inner Peace, Home – TONG CHIAO
2015.10.17 – 2015.11.28
藉著國外旅居與異地工作的生活經驗，莊東橋在家屋與天地的意象中創作了三個系列作品：＜素直＞、＜家屋之夢＞、＜萬物再度呼吸＞。
莊東橋的個展《你的平靜就是家》挑選了這三系列中的八件作品展出，皆帶有著鮮明的海岸晴雨、前庭後院的意象，可說是呈現他回臺後在北海岸工作生活的創作小結，同時也延續和發展他2012年開始這主題創作上的思考：
如何透過個人化符號的抽象性與具象表現，讓幾何形狀與表現性的筆觸線條有了一個新的觀看指引，但不同純粹抽象、介於具象與抽象之間過度的抽象進程、或是追求似與不似之間的半抽象；也嘗試提出在一個平面上，用構圖和色彩表現非單一線性流動的時空，並保有其曖昧和開放的流動空間感的可能，來反應他在散步、騎車、乘車、旅行時看到的家屋與天地之意象。
Chuang created three series in House and Universe based on his experience of living and working abroad – Simplicity, The Dream of Home, and Everything Breathes Again.
Eight pieces from the three series are chosen for his solo exhibition, Inner Peace, Home, which paints a vivid image of the coastal climates and open yards. This is a reflection of his life and work after returning to the north coast of Taiwan. It is also a continuation of the theme that he has been exploring since 2012.
This is an attempt to shed new lights over the expressive geometric lines through abstract and figurative expressions of personalized symbology. However, it differs from pure abstraction. It differs from the progression of over abstraction between the figurative and the abstract, and from semi-abstraction that wavers between likenesses. This is an attempt to express the non-linear dynamics with composition and color on a two-dimensional plane while leaving room for the fluidity of space, which is ambiguous and yet open, to reflect the images of house and universe he captures when he walks, bikes, drives or travels.
