Mind Set Art Center celebrates 15th anniversary with exhibition
2025-07-03
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, the Mind Set Art Center is holding an exhibition. The "Tree of Life" exhibition showcases works of artists who have collaborated with the gallery over the years, symbolizing its growth and resilience. FTV reporter Stephany Yang illustrates this story.
This work is by Marina Cruz, a Filipino contemporary artist. Her work “Reflecting on Plants Clinging on Walls” combines abstract color swatches and collage techniques. The artist transforms a corner of her house long affected by flooding into a beautiful tropical space.

Curator
Marina Cruz is one of the longest relationships with us. We started working with her 13 years ago. This is the latest painting of hers, depicting her family house which was built by her grandfather. All of the art was surrounded by the family objects. For this special painting, it actually records all the flooded threads. You can see the watermarks, which symbolize the family members in and out. Marina uses a very feminine perspective to record this painting and also respond to the family memories.
Yang Yu-ning is a Taiwanese contemporary artist known for her explorations of psychological landscapes and abstract forms. In this work, the artist depicts two banana trees as a couple of travelers. She utilizes different grey tones to open a dialogue between ink painting, photography, and traditional brushwork in a piece that evokes companionship.

This artist is from Taiwan. Her name is Yang Yu-ning. She was born in 1990 so she is a pretty young artist and is quite promising because we think she is quite unique in terms of ink painting. Especially when we talk about contemporary ink. She was a dancer, so for this ink, you can see the rhythms in it. What is a special thing about it is that when she does the ink painting, she will prepare the ink bottles first. It is like a computer printing concept. She would do the draft and she would mark the numbers of the shades of ink, and after she decided, she would start to relax herself and start to paint. That is why you can see the painting behind me is a banana tree, but they act like a human being. They incline to each other so the title of the work is "The Cluster of Travelers. " They are basically like human beings.
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Mind Set Art Center is holding an exhibition titled "A Tree of Life." The exhibition features the works of fifteen artists from Taiwan, Asia, and Europe, highlighting key moments in their collaboration with the gallery. The works span diverse media—including painting, sculpture, photography, installation and mixed media— as it explores the themes of "plants" and "time." The exhibition not only reflects on the gallery’s growth but also envisions the next fifteen years of the gallery.

Curator
This special exhibition, "Tree of Life," it came from a really sweet story. As the gallery was founded, our collector friend Dr. Chen planted a tea olive tree in his garden. It was really sprout at that time. People told him that it won’t grow beyond a human being’s height. But right now, after 15 years, it is already 2.5 meters tall. Right now, we wanted to celebrate it with our artists, so we chose 15 artists to title the show "Tree of Life" to reflect our past, and also want to walk a new journey with our artists.
The exhibition will be held at the Mind Set Art Center until Aug. 8.

15年藝術歷程 15藝術家展現對生命的詮釋
2025-07-03
為慶祝成立15週年，安卓藝術舉辦「生命樹」展覽。展出多年來與畫廊合作的藝術家的作品，象徵著畫廊的成長和韌性。
這件作品出自菲律賓當代藝術家克魯斯之手。她的作品《凝視牆垣間的植物》融合了抽象的色塊和拼貼技巧。藝術家將她屋中長期遭受洪水的一角改造成一個美麗的熱帶空間。

"瑪莉娜．克魯斯是我們合作時間最長的藝術家之一。我們13年前就開始與她合作了。這幅是她最新的作品，描繪由她祖父建造的房屋，她所有作品都圍繞於家庭。這幅特別的畫作，記錄下所有被水淹過的印痕，牆面上的水痕，象徵家庭成員進出過的生活痕跡。瑪麗娜用非常女性化的視角來描繪這幅畫，同時反映出她的家庭回憶。"
楊寓寧是一位台灣當代藝術家，以探索心靈景觀和抽象形式而聞名。在這幅作品中，藝術家將兩棵香蕉樹描繪成一對旅人。她運用不同的灰色調，在水墨畫、攝影和傳統筆墨之間展開對話，營造出陪伴的氛圍。
[[策展人 朱倢瑢]]
"這位藝術家來自台灣，名叫楊寓寧，出生於1990年，是一位非常年輕的藝術家，前途無量，因為我們認為她蠻有前途，她在水墨畫方面的創作很獨特，尤其是當代水墨畫。她曾經是一名舞者，所以你可以看到她水墨畫中的節奏。特別之處在於，當她進行創作時，會先準備好墨水瓶，這就像一個電腦印刷的概念。她會打草稿，標記墨水色調的數字，完成後，她會先放鬆自己，然後開始作畫。這就是為什麼你可以看到我身後的畫是一棵香蕉樹，但它們的行為像人一樣。它們相互傾斜，所以作品的標題是《旅人蕉群》。它們基本上就像人類一樣。"
為慶祝畫廊成立15週年，安卓藝術舉辦「生命樹」15周年特展。展出15位來自台灣、亞洲和歐洲的藝術家作品。作品涵蓋繪畫、雕塑、攝影、裝置和混合媒介等多種媒介，探討「植物」與「時間」的主題。展覽不僅回顧了畫廊的成長歷程，也展望了未來15年的發展。
[[策展人 朱倢瑢]]
"這次特別展覽「生命樹」的靈感源自於一個非常溫馨的故事。畫廊成立之初，我們的收藏家朋友陳博士在自家花園裡種下一棵桂花樹。當時，還只是小樹苗，別人告訴他，這棵樹長不高，不會比人高。但如今，15年後，他已經長到2.5公尺。我們想與藝術家們共同慶祝這一時刻，因此我們選擇了15位藝術家，將展覽命名為“生命之樹”，以此來回顧畫廊的過去，也希望與藝術家們攜手開啟新的旅程。"
此次展覽將在安卓藝術展出至8月8日。
