Japan-based Indonesian ceramic artist Albert Yonathan Setyawan has expressed hope that his "Speaking in Tongues" solo exhibition at Mind Set Art Center (MSAC) in Taipei will provide visitors with a window on the human pysche.
"I just want people to be there and experience the work and feel inspired by the symmetrical patterns. I think people first notice the symmetrical composition, and symmetrical composition is a way to connect people to their psychological state...their psyche," Albert told CNA.
According to the organizers of the June 7-July 14 exhibition, the 11 featured works, all created in the last two years, often display large, expansive symmetrical arrangements of ceramic sculptures that lead the viewer's thoughts into a spiritual realm beyond the physical space.
Albert said he hoped his works stay in the minds of people who see them and help the viewers reflect on certain issues in their lives. "We talk about reflections to reflect on your own past life, for example, so you can make a better decision in the future."
One of Albert's creations included in the MSAC exhibition is "Infinitude," a large-scale wall installation made using 2,552 pieces of slip-cast terracotta ceramics. Read More...
