Understanding thought forms
Taiwanese artist Charwei Tsai's new exhibition explores the intricate nature of our mind
Charwei Tsai, a young Asian artist, is showcasing her work in her first solo exhibition in India. Previously in January, the Taiwanese artist was also part of a group exhibition here. Talking about the art scene in India she says, "The art works have many different expressions, it's really dynamic. The artists here put up very strong galleries. India gives a totally different experience and has a different culture as well."
Her exhibition named Thoughtforms, have installations that express the mind's energy — formulating and emanating themselves by means of mantras, sound vibrations and philosophy. The artist feels that the thought is centered on a form and the form around a thought. These Thoughtforms are living forces, which are structured, materialised and bound through the mind of their creator. Like love and its synonymous nature with loneliness; light with reference to accidental beauty and growth through the enlightenment of the mantra heart sutra. "I see my installations as an object, with a lot of inspiration. It comes from my heart, which is further evolving," says Charwei on her work. She further adds that her work is inspired from the Buddhist's notion of impermanence and the cyclical nature of human existence. "Growing up in Taiwan, your perceptions are constantly changing. Therein comes the whole notion of impermanence," she says. On observing her work one can see the usage of a lot of texts, "It's my personal style. The texts are almost like a language of a photographic image. But, it doesn't have any social message as such," she adds. Tsai's art reflects and conserves her thoughts, which in turn are platforms for viewers' reflections and perceptions.
Charwei presently lives and works in Taipei and Paris, has had solo exhibitions in places all over the world — like Taipei, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Bogota. Apart from art, her literary affinity continuously grows in her biannual journal publication.
