Huang Poren: The Dog’s Notes
May 14th Fri. – June 25th Fri., 2021
*We will not have an opening reception for this exhibition.
*Chinese follows Japanese
UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery is pleased to present Huang Poren’s sculptures from May 14th through June 25th. This is the first exhibition of his works at our gallery.
Huang Poren (黄柏仁) is a Taiwan-based sculptor—also a dog lover— who creates works using various materials such as wood, iron, and bicycle parts and is considered one of the most exciting up-and-coming artists in Taiwan. In this exhibition, we feature one of his iconic series “The Dog’s Notes”. What Mr. Poren aims to create with this series is not only the eye-catching expression of the active and compassionate characteristics that dogs possess. He also tries to make manifest the philosophical lessons that dogs bring to our modern life and reveal the compatibility and mutuality that exists between humans and dogs.
“The Dog’s Notes” is a symbol of the intimate relationship between dogs and human beings. Mr. Poren hopes for visitors to feel this, discuss it, and interact with the works. He wishes that the positive energy created through this continuous process will be delivered to everyone in the world and make the world a better place to live. The exhibition presents a valuable opportunity to see his works together in one place in Japan, so we hope you will enjoy them at the UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery.
PROFILE
HUANG Poren｜Sculptor
Poren was born in 1970 in Taichung City, central Taiwan, and is currently based in the area. His talent as a sculptor has its roots in his family's wood-carving business. Since graduating from the department of sculpture at Hu-Hsin Trade and Arts School in 1989, he has expanded his scope as an artist through his participation in art fairs in numerous countries and through his involvement in solo exhibitions around the globe, not only in Asia, but also in the United States and Europe. “The Archer”, a Taiwanese aborigine-themed sculpture is mentioned in the art textbook of Taiwanese higher education institutions and his “Happy Time”, expressing the happiness of being free, is in the collection of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art. Due to his remarkable success in Taiwan, he is recognized as one of the most promising artists in his home country.

黃柏仁: 狗札記
May 14th Fri. – June 25th Fri., 2021
*本展覽將不舉辦開幕會
UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery很高興在5月14日至6月25日展示黃柏仁的雕塑，這是他在我們畫廊的首檔展覽。
黃柏仁是台灣雕塑家，也是愛犬人士，他使用木材，鐵和自行車零件等各種材料創作作品，被認為是台灣最有人氣的新銳藝術家之一。在這次展覽中，我們將展出他的標誌性系列作品「狗札記」。不僅將狗所具有的自信、純真特質轉化為吸睛的視覺語言，黃柏仁意在通過作品給予現代人教化，並揭示人與狗之間存在的共融性和相互性。
「狗札記」是狗與人之間親密關係的象徵。藉由持續與作品互動、討論，黃柏仁希望參觀者能感受到此連結，並將正向能量傳遞給世界上的每個人，使世界成為一個更美好的生活圈。展覽提供了一個寶貴的機會，可以讓人們在日本一同欣賞他的作品，我們衷心期待您能在UCHIGO and SHIZIMI Gallery盡情享受它們的陪伴。
