Satyricon, in Roman mythology, refers to a lascivious and lustful man. The exhibition title, "Love Mythology," is derived from the movie "Love Mythology," in which a love triangle leads to a complex and ambiguous tale of sexual adventures. The film depicts the first century AD, during which the Roman Empire was still a slave state under aristocratic rule. Each person seems to be infected by a debauched atmosphere, and wherever the protagonist goes, it is filled with men and women with lascivious appearances, in a decadent world where sexual orientation is blurred. Homosexuality and heterosexuality are of no importance; all that matters is to indulge in this extravagant and passionate emotional feast. This group exhibition invites artists Jao ChIh-Wei, Ku Kuang-Yi, Kuan Hsun-Hung, Chen Guan-Hong, Chen Jiam-Wei, Chen Han-Sheng, and Liu Hsing-Yu, each utilizing different artistic mediums to discuss their perspectives on emotions.
L'éducation sentimentale
"The surge of love, the fervor of ideals, the fearless revolution—every person in this world aspires to fulfill oneself in different ways, to complete the marvel of life!" - Gustave Flaubert
Without emotions, there would be no joy, sorrow, or excitement in life. In the "Dictionary of Psychology," it is recognized that "emotions are attitudes and experiences that arise when individuals evaluate whether objective things satisfy their needs." The explanation of emotions is like a complex and enigmatic popular play, intertwining the black holes in the hearts of these individuals and those individuals, forming countless expressions and vibrant colors that shimmer in the depths of everyone's hearts. The creations of each artist have emerged from emotions, igniting ripples and seeking a balance between love and being loved, respect and playfulness, in an attempt to find harmony in life and the perception of love.
