#展覽 《形之形》佐藤公聰個展

有些「形」，總會回到他的作品裡。從鳥、魚、花草，到宇宙星辰，這些反覆出現的圖像，成為 #佐藤公聰 創作中鮮明的視覺印記。

出生於日本秋田市的佐藤公聰，在日本完成藝術學習後，前往巴黎美術學院深造。1989年受邀來台展出，此後與台灣結下近三十年的緣分，台灣的風土與人情，也逐漸成為他創作的一部分。跨越國家的創作歷程，也在他的作品留下痕跡，既保有日本美學溫潤、典雅的氣質，也受到西方現代藝術的薰陶。不同的藝術養分，造就了獨有的繪畫語言。

自然、神話與日常的形象，在畫面中被重新組合，成為承載記憶與想像的符號。

從具象到抽象，形之形不在於辨認眼前的「形」，而是循著佐藤公聰觀看萬物的方式，感受「形」如何在畫面之中展開。

Certain forms keep returning in his work.

From birds and fish to flowers, plants, and stars, these recurring images have become a distinctive visual signature of Koso Sato’s art.

Born in Akita, Japan, Sato studied art in Tokyo. He later continued his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.　

In 1989, he was invited to exhibit his work in Taiwan. It marked the beginning of a nearly 30-year connection with Taiwan. Taiwan’s landscapes and culture gradually found their way into his art.

His journey across borders is reflected in his practice. The warmth and refinement of Japanese aesthetics meet the currents of Western modernism. Together, these influences shaped a painterly language of his own.

Elements from nature, mythology, and everyday life are recomposed as symbols of memory and imagination.

From the figurative to the abstract, “Forms of Forms“ lies beyond the “forms” immediately visible. To see the world as Sato does is to sense how “form” unfolds across the canvas.

再者，日本文化中也有「移ろい（うつろい」）一詞 - 描述萬物處於流轉與變化之中的狀態。它所關注的並非變化的結果，而是事物在時間之中持續完善自身的過程。佐藤畫中的形，亦存在於這樣的時間性之中。它們不被急於完成，也拒絕停留，而是在觀看與感知之間不斷游移，讓每一次凝視都成為新的開始。然而，這些看似自由流動的畫面，始終存在著藝術家所追求的另一個核心——平衡。

佐藤曾說：「均衡好的東西、好的事情，其實就是我的創作理念。」

畫面中的線條、色彩與節奏，皆是在反覆調整與感受之中逐漸取得平衡。這種均衡並非數學式的對稱，也不是理性的秩序，而更接近身體自然站立時所找到的重心。藝術家不斷調整畫面中的重量與節奏，直到那些尚未被命名的存在獲得屬於自己的位置。對他而言，一件作品甚至如同自己的身體一般存在，畫布不只是成為圖像的媒介，更是一個具有呼吸、重量與節奏的生命體。

This temporal quality also resonates with the Japanese notion of utsuroi (移ろい)—the quiet condition in which all things remain in continual transition. Utsuroi is concerned not with change as a result, but with the ongoing process through which things become themselves. The forms inhabiting Sato‘s paintings exist within this same temporality. They refuse premature completion and resist stillness, drifting continuously between perception and sensation, allowing every encounter to become a new beginning. Yet beneath this apparent fluidity lies another principle that guides the artist’s work: balance.

Sato once wrote:
“Things that are well balanced—good things—are, in fact, the foundation of my artistic practice.”

The lines, colours, and rhythms of his paintings are continually adjusted until they arrive at equilibrium. This balance is neither mathematical symmetry nor rational order, but something closer to the body‘s own natural centre of gravity. Through constant refinement of weight and rhythm, unnamed forms gradually find their place. For Sato, a painting exists almost like his own body: the canvas is not merely a surface that carries images, but a living entity possessing breath, weight, and rhythm.

#展覽 《形之形》佐藤公聰個展

這些形並非來自幻想，而是源於藝術家對日常生活長久細微的觀察。花朵、桌上的器物、水的流動、人體姿態、月亮與星辰於夜空之中，都是真實存在於生活中的景色。然而，當它們進入畫布之後，便逐漸脫離原本的表象，不再只是物件，而是在色彩、線條與幾何形狀之中獲得另一層意義。熟悉的風景因此變得陌生，而又逐漸顯得親近。比起描繪物體，佐藤更像是在敘述事物如何乘載著時間、記憶與感知，慢慢生成為畫中的形。

畫中的色彩與線條，也始終伴隨著時間的質地: 有時像陰天未散的濕氣，有時似黃昏降臨前短暫停留的微光；有時如風吹過水面的波紋，有時又如同一段即將被遺忘的夢境。觀者所感受到的，往往不是故事，而是一種難以言喻的時間流逝感。那些形並非停留於某一刻，而是在浮現與消散、生成與消逝之間持續流動，也因此始終無法被固定於唯一的樣貌。

These forms do not arise from fantasy, but from the artist‘s sustained and attentive observation of everyday life. Flowers, tabletop objects, flowing water, the human body, the moon, and stars are all ordinary presences. Yet once they enter the canvas, they gradually shed their outward appearances and become something beyond objects themselves. Through colour, line, and geometry, they acquire new significance. Familiar landscapes become strangely unfamiliar, only to reveal an unexpected intimacy. Rather than depicting objects, Sato seems to narrate how they carry time, memory, and perception, gradually becoming form.
Colours and lines likewise embody the texture of time. At times they resemble the lingering humidity of an overcast day; at others, the last light before dusk. They ripple like wind across water, or drift like fragments of a dream on the verge of disappearance. What viewers encounter is less a narrative than an elusive sense of time passing. These forms never remain fixed; they continue to emerge and dissolve, to appear and disappear, resisting any final or singular identity.

#展覽 《形之形》佐藤公聰個展

這也令人聯想到日本美學中的「見立て（みたて）」。並非單純將一件事物比喻為另一件事物，而是透過用心的審視，使熟悉的存在重新建立新的關係。改變的不是物件本身，而是理解世界的方式。當所描繪事物逐漸脫離既有的姿態，它們便不再停留於固定的意義，而是在畫面之中重新獲得新的存在。

對藝術家而言，繪畫並不是再現，而是不斷重新感知，事物始終在成為另一種形的途中。佐藤曾形容自己的繪畫是一種「既不能說具象，也不是抽象」的表現。他所關心的並非事物是否被忠實再現，而是形如何在觀看之中持續生成。他曾以「天邪鬼（あまのじゃく）」形容自己的性格: 一種始終對既定秩序保持距離的觀看方式。當事物被賦予固定名稱與意義時，他反而持續追尋那些尚未被定義、不合常態的形狀。

This mode of perception recalls the Japanese aesthetic concept of mitate (見立て). More than a metaphor or substitution, mitate proposes a way of reconfiguring relationships through attentive observation. What changes is not the object itself, but the way we understand the world. As familiar motifs gradually detach themselves from their conventional identities, they acquire new modes of existence within the painting.

For Sato, painting is not an act of representation but a continual process of re-perception, in which things are always on their way toward becoming another form. He once described his paintings as “neither representational nor abstract.” His concern lies not in faithfully reproducing reality, but in allowing form to continue unfolding through perception. Sato also described himself as an amanojaku (天邪鬼)—not merely someone rebellious, but one who keeps a critical distance from established meanings. Whenever things are assigned fixed names or definitions, he is drawn instead to forms that remain undefined and unconventional.

對 #佐藤公聰 而言，形從來不是完成之後的樣貌。

它更像是視線移動時留下的殘影，是記憶尚未沉澱前的片刻，也是事物被命名以前短暫停留的狀態。在他的作品裡，花、月亮、星辰、人體、桌上靜物與日常風景反覆浮現，又悄然消散，始終停留在可辨認與不可辨認、具象與抽象之間曖昧而流動的邊界。那些輪廓並非未完成，而是在生成之中再次尋找新的平衡。

觀看佐藤的作品，往往不是辨認畫中究竟描繪了什麼，而是感受形如何逐漸形成。那些輪廓既像植物，也像人體；既如風景，也似夢境。畫面所呈現的並非物件本身，而是感知之中，形逐漸浮現的瞬間。當視線停留得越久，熟悉的事物便越難維持原本的名稱，而開始成為另一種存在。

For Koso Sato, form is never a finished appearance.

Rather, it resembles the lingering trace of a shifting gaze, a fleeting moment before memory settles, or the brief state in which things exist before they are named. Throughout his paintings, flowers, the moon, stars, human figures, tabletop objects, and everyday landscapes repeatedly emerge and quietly dissolve, remaining suspended between the recognizable and the unrecognizable, between figuration and abstraction. These forms are not unfinished; they are continually seeking a renewed sense of balance through the very process of becoming.

To encounter Sato’s paintings is not simply to identify what is depicted, but to experience the gradual emergence of form itself. The images appear at once as plants and human bodies, as landscapes and fragments of dreams. What unfolds on the canvas is not the object itself, but the moment in which form slowly comes into being through perception. The longer one remains before the work, the more familiar things begin to loosen themselves from their names and become something else.
