Tang Chang
Into the Heart-Mind
Jun 4 – Aug 29, 2026
Opening: Friday, Mar 20, 4pm – 7pm
The gallery presents the first solo exhibition in Greater China of Tang Chang (1934–1990), curated by Sheryl Gwee, former head researcher at the Tang Chang Private Museum—reframing the Sino-Thai poet and painter’s lively visions of being in the world through classical philosophy and aesthetics.
Into the Heart-Mind is a meditation on Sino-Thai poet and painter Tang Chang’s iridescent visions of being—in his environs, and in existence. From free-spirited, calligraphic renderings of the Chao Phraya River to dazzling, prismatic vignettes of the sun-drenched fields and narrow alleyways near his home, Tang Chang returned, time and again, to portraying his immediate surroundings and his place within them. In these paintings, we find an indelible sense of the artist’s presence, and of his lively devotion to the world.
爍樂畫廊呈現陳壯（1934–1990）於大中華區首次個展，由陳壯私人博物館前首席研究員魏愫琪策展——以古典哲學與與美學為脈絡，重新詮釋這位中泰詩人兼畫家對於「在世存在」的生動想像。
《心鏡之景》凝視中泰詩人兼畫家陳壯斑斕幻彩的「在世」視野，呈現他如何在「所在之地」安身立命，並由此思索存在本身。從自在奔放、帶有書法筆意的昭披耶河描繪，到如稜鏡般耀眼的片段，捕捉他住處附近日光曝曬的田野與狹窄巷弄，陳壯一次又一次回到身邊景物，描寫周遭，也描寫自己在其中的位置。於這些畫作裡，我們清晰感到藝術家的在場——既是具身的感知，也是他以充滿生命力的熱情投入世界的見證。

gdm is a Hong Kong-based art gallery founded by Fred Scholle in 1974. Originally opened as Galerie du Monde, gdm represents more than twenty artists, nurturing a diverse roster of artists at all stages of their creative practices with a global perspective. The gallery has been acclaimed for its ground-breaking work in championing artists of postwar and contemporary movements such as Hong Kong’s Circle Art Group, and Taiwan’s Fifth Moon.
gdm Projects launched in 2008 which transformed the gallery with a new emphasis on contemporary art and dedication to supporting emerging and underrepresented diaspora artists engaging with cultural identity and conceptual practices. Fostering collaborations with curators and institutions worldwide — gdm operates a dynamic program that encourages imagination and risk-taking, driven to provide opportunities for artists to amplify their voices within their communities, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.
To celebrate 50 years (1974-2024), gdm opened a new space in Taipei in 2024. With its opening, gdm Taipei will launch “Siōng Tshinn,” a special program that focuses on spotlighting emerging local talent, providing a platform for young, unrepresented Taiwanese artists to showcase their works. Through “Siōng Tshinn,” gdm hopes to plant meaningful and lasting roots in the local art community.
