The birth of oil painting techniques can be traced back to Europe before the thirteenth century: Jan Van Eyck (1390–1441), a Belgian artist in the Northern Renaissance, is known as one of the inventors of oil painting and is committed to the improvement and refinement of this technology. Since then, oil painting has become one of the most important artistic vocabularies for Western painters; however, due to the fact that it is not easy to master oil painting techniques and the high production cost, since the 20th century, acrylic paint has gradually become a more popular alternative medium.

Contemporary traditional painting techniques, whether the medium is oil paint, acrylate, watercolour, etc., all face the challenges of photography and composite media, and are threatened and impacted by the operation of computer design programs and artificial intelligence (AI). Can photography go beyond the realistic depiction of objects in painting? Can artificial intelligence completely replace painting technology and human creativity? This exhibition does not provide answers, but tries to open a dialogue between art and technology, human nature and media. We invite the audience to stop and gaze, and savour the techniques and contents contained in the works of this exhibition.

“Xinxiang Foreign Minister” is jointly planned by Juming Museum – Taipei – Taiwan (Zhu Ming Art Museum) and the Asian Art Centre, inviting 16 artists from the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to participate in the exhibition, reflecting the importance of the curatorial team to multiple perspectives. Artists either use oil paint, or use pressure and composite media to create, and delicately describe concrete objects and abstract emotions through painting vocabulary, showing the diverse appearance and abundant energy of contemporary painting. The curatorial team divides the multi-theme works into four exhibition areas: “sensory life”, “cultural/social reflection”, “memory circle” and “fuzzy dreams”. Some artists’ creations have multiple levels and metaphors. The classification is only to help the viewer enter the vein of the work, not to limit the possibility of artistic expression. Through artists from different cultures, races, genders and ages, the “mind and appearance” hopes to convey the universality of human emotions and open up a new understanding of art and human nature.
