Lisa Solomon and          Christine Buckton Tillman

Chroma

Chroma is the result of a long distance collaboration between Lisa Solomon and Christine Buckton Tillman that explores the power of color via objects from everyday life. Chroma is a large-scale crowd-sourced installation made of objects gathered from the community, constructed of various forms of "junk" – arbitrary and otherwise disposable items – that read as one color. The pulling together and reconfiguration of broken objects into a vivid, bright and cheerful composition underscores the potency of transformation, and reframes our perspective around the possibility of repair and new beginnings.

麗莎·索羅門與克里斯汀·巴克頓·蒂爾曼 (Lisa Solomon x Christine Buckman Tillman) 的合作裝置《色度——Chroma》

《色度——Chroma》是麗莎·索羅門 (Lisa Solomon) 與克里斯汀·巴克頓·蒂爾曼 (Christine Buckton Tillman) 兩位藝術家「長距離合作」的創作成果，通過日常生活中的物體來探索色彩的力量。《色度——Chroma》是一件大型眾籌式裝置作品，由社區所收集來的物品所組成，以各種形式的「垃圾」（任意的廢棄物或一次性使用之物）、讀取為「一種顏色」的構成。將破碎的物體組合一塊兒、並重新聚合出一副生動、明亮而又令人觀感愉悅的構圖，且為觀眾們再度構建新穎視角，圍繞在修復與全新開始的可能性中強調轉變的力量。

Senju Kannon by Lisa Solomon

Senju Kannon is a series of chromatic [red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gray, pink] prints – depicting 1000 Buddha hands (Senju Kannon 1000 armed Buddha). Placed in concentric circles, each hand represents a mudra of blessing/protection and teaching recalling the sacred form of the mandala. 

 

麗莎·索羅門 (Lisa Solomon) 的《千羽鶴——Senbazuru》與《千手觀音——Senju Kannon》

《千手觀音——Senju Kannon》是一系列彩色 (包含了紅、橙、黃、綠、藍、紫、灰、粉等) 印花所描繪出的一千隻佛手（源自千手觀音或千手佛的概念）。將其放置在同心圓中，每隻手都代表了祝福/庇佑以及開示的結印，讓人聯想起曼荼羅的神聖形式。

About Lisa Solomon

Lisa Solomon resides in Oakland, California with her husband, child, an assortment of oddball rescue pets, a garden, a backyard studio, and a bevy of art supplies including many, many spools of thread (Gutterman is her favorite), quite a collection of embroidery floss, and enough watercolor to last for the next five years (she hopes). She received her BA in art practice from UC Berkeley, her MFA from Mills College, and has been an Adjunct/Visiting Professor in the Bay Area for 20+ years. Her layered mixed-media works and grand-sized installations often utilize unconventional mediums, humor, and color to explore gender, identity, and personal histories, as well as the nature of art and craft itself. She has exhibited internationally in a multitude of venues. As a Hapa (her mother is Japanese, her father Caucasian), she sees hybridity—in materials, in concept—as integral to her practice. 

 

麗莎．索羅門 (Lisa Solomon) 與她的丈夫、孩子、各種奇怪的救援寵物、花園、後院工作室以及一系列藝術用品（包括很多線軸，而Gutterman牌縫線是她的最愛）居住在加州奧克蘭，收藏了相當多的繡花線及足夠的水彩顏料（希望）可供未來五年使用。擁有加州大學伯克萊分校 (UC Berkeley) 藝術創作學士學位，米爾斯學院 (Mills College) 藝術碩士學位，並在灣區擔任兼職/客座教授長達20多年。她的分層混合媒體作品以及大型裝置藝術經常利用非傳統媒介、幽默與色彩來探索性別、身份與個人歷史，同時更追求藝術與工藝之本質。作為「哈帕人」(母親是日本人，父親是白人) 曾在多個場館舉辦過國際展覽。她認為材料與概念上的混合性是她創作中不可或缺的一部分。

克里斯汀·巴克頓·蒂爾曼 (Christine Buckton Tillman) 的跨媒體創作，源於將四處收集而來的圖像與物件組合成形——廣告、演算法、色彩、慶典、陳列、派對、印刷媒體乃至自然歷史博物館皆是她作品創作中的主要影響元素。
