The Reposition of Sights

“Seeing” has never been a one-way act. As we see artworks, the artworks, in turn, see us back.

“The Reposition of Sights” centers around the dual states of “seeing” and “being seen,” inviting ten international contemporary artists to respond to the familiar act of seeing through their distinctive visual languages.

Some works within the exhibition embody an active gaze: figures within the compositions confront the viewer directly, projecting emotion, energy, and imagination outward, at times even carrying the intention of forming a connection. In doing so, viewers gradually become aware that they themselves are also being seen. Other works return to the more traditional role of being observed, where unfolding scenes, situations, and relationships within the image carry the viewer’s gaze and interpretation, turning seeing into a process of negotiating relationships, power, and distance.

By placing “seeing” and “being seen” side by side, the exhibition dissolves the fixed boundaries between observer and observed, allowing the two positions to continuously shift and exchange throughout the act of viewing. As gazes begin to circulate back and forth, seeing becomes more than a simple action. Through the notion of “Reposition,” the exhibition further reflects on the shifting nature of perspective and perception: how we see artworks, how artworks see us, and how we come to recognize ourselves through these constantly changing positions of seeing.

《Mirrors of the Soul: Group Exhibition about Animal》

This group exhibition brings together seven international artists, presenting animal figures that span time and space: from cats, dogs, and rabbits of everyday companionship, to bears and tigers symbolizing strength and primal desire, and even extinct dinosaurs and imaginary unicorns. These animals are not naturalistic depictions, but anthropomorphized beings imbued with human emotions, gestures, and states of mind, reflecting our own condition within urban life.

Art Taichung 2024

Ting Ting Art Space is pleased to announce our participation in Art Taichung 2024, presenting diverse works from 13 domestic and international artists. The event will take place from July 19th (Fri) to 21st (Sun) at the Millennium Hotel Taichung. Ting Ting Art Space is dedicated to promote the idea of “Art in everyday life”. Our goal as a gallery is to improve people’s aesthetic experiences by integrating art into their daily lives, making art more approachable and accessible.

 

  • Moisés Yagües’ highly anticipated new series “The Artist and the Monster” makes its debut. 

The series is a personal journey dissected by Yagües himself, where the “monsters” in the paintings symbolize the doubts, fears, and psychological obstacles encountered as an artist. Each artwork precisely captures the dilemmas and emotional states faced in artistic creation. Nonetheless, the act of “creating” itself is already a courageous display, and this series is dedicated to those brave souls who dare to confront their “monsters” and transform the unknown into dazzling fireworks.

 

  • Maria Cobas’s “Dream-Core” paintings radiate a pink-hued explosion of energy. 

With a sweetness akin to cotton candy and a fantastical aura, “Dream-Core” paintings have recently become a hot topic among art lovers alike. Spanish artist Maria Cobas infuses her social observations with a rich female perspective into her artwork, complemented by vibrant and colorful hues that exude captivating pink sweetness. Follow us and step into a mesmerizing universe created by Maria Cobas. 

 

  • The first Taiwanese artist, represented by Ting Ting, Shih Siao-Mo, debuted with a confident whistle.

Born in Kaohsiung and now based in Taipei, artist Shih Siao-Mo debuted her series “Take That!” for the first time at the 2024 Art Taichung, marking her as the first local artist represented by Ting Ting Art Space. The series features diptychs composed of collages accompanied by striking handwritten words and brushstrokes, promising an unforgettable experience for viewers.

Fable Globe-Dima Kashtalyan 2024 Exhibition

The exhibition “Fable Globe” showcases a series of works by Belarusian artist Dima. Before creating each piece, Dima contemplates how to effectively convey his viewpoints through imagery. His works focus on modern societal and individual issues, cleverly choosing familiar everyday objects as the main subjects in his paintings. Through the technique of collage, he imbues these characters with deeper meanings and resonance. Examples include a fox with a city growing out of its head or a bird carrying a turtle shell, infusing the artworks with elements of magical realism and dramatic tension.

Dima classifies his creations as pointillism or stippling, using meticulously detailed dots as the smallest units of his paintings to depict various characters. Each piece appears like a fable, whispering his profound insights about the world to the viewers. Observing his works is akin to gazing into crystal snow globes, each containing a different fable, where people encounter the artist’s thoughts amidst the myriad delicate dots.

Dima Kashtalyan

Currently living in Poland, the 35-year-old Belarusian artist Dima, whether through his illustrations or street art, consistently showcases a unique style that is both wild and refined. He categorizes his art as pointillism or stippling, a technique that uses hand-drawn dots as the smallest units of an artwork.

What Dima wants to say in his work is closely tied to issues of modern society and individual life. He cleverly picks familiar everyday objects as the main subject matters of his work to evoke symbolic qualities and resonances. For example, he might depict a fox with a city growing out of its head or a bird carrying a turtle shell on its back. This approach not only invites viewers to think about the meaning of the work, but also creates dramatic visual impact. 

Dimension wise, he prefers to work on large canvases. This allows him to meticulously refine every detail so that even up close, viewers can appreciate the precision and depth of his work. Dima’s work is not just visual pleasures but also intellectual feasts, with each piece whispering profound insights into the world.
