羅世長/Shyh-Charng Lo

1945年出生,台大人類學系畢業,並獲加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞大學人類學碩士及多倫多大學博物館學碩士學位。1989年辭去皇家安大略博物館工作,專志畫業。現為旅加拿大畫家。曾在加拿大,
日本,中國,香港,台灣等地個展30多次。個人畫冊10本。透過簡單的造形與色彩的研究,探討內心深處情感的表達,一直是他藝術追求的理念。作品寧靜而致遠。

藝術理念
全力專職藝術創作不覺已過了24年。猛回首,發現窗外的山水依然是我這些年來藝術生涯的靈感泉源與創作主題。每天試圖努力回歸到藝術發生的原點,去凝視自然,傾聽自己,以日常生活環境所見,所思,所感出發。用簡單的造型與構圖,透過藝術的手法給予每一張畫最大的深意。日復一日,一生磨一劍,有如禪修。這種傻勁,這種探索的行為與精神,不覺使我想起當代藝術中的行為藝術與觀念藝術。
藉著探索內在情感與形,色,光等現代藝術基本元素之間的奧秘關係,我那帶有情境,希望,詩意的藝術得以逐漸呈現出來。也在這一系列的研究過程中建立起自己的藝術風格。山水因為隔著距離的遠望與凝視,以及經過長時間的對話與自省,沉澱與冥思,一個東方人的文化鄉愁也就毫不自覺地流露在靜謚幽微的精神隱喻裡。
畢竟,繪畫只是藝術家氣質的呈現而已。

Born in Japan, raised in Taiwan, and immigrated to Canada in 1974. He was educated in An-thropology and Archaeology at the National Taiwan University (1970), received his MA at the University of British Columbia (1977) and a Masters of Museum Studies from the University of Toronto (1983). A self-taught painter, he left a position at the Royal Ontario Museum in 1989 to pursue a career in art. Since then he has held more than thirty solo exhibitions internationally and published ten catalogues. By searching for the mysteries of the relationship between the in-ner emotions and the basic elements of modern art, such as shape, colour, light and so on, an art with consciousness, hope, poetry was gradually revealed. Through this series of study, he formed his own artistic style.
