Enter the Galerie des Glaces at the Château de Versailles to explore the scenography that will play host to the unveiling of Autumn-Winter 2021-2022 on.dior.com/aw2021-22 at 2:30pm CET today. The location has a symbolic meaning for Maria Grazia Churi, contemporary with the 17th-century salons in which pioneering women writers composed the dark, protofeminist fairy tales that inspired the collection. Titled 'La Galerie des Ombres', a specially commissioned installation by artist Silvia Giambrone featuring opaque mirrors covered in wax and sinister thorns stands before the historic hall's own mirrors, a further echo of the examination of perceptions of femininity through fashion and beyond the bonds of patriarchy.

The struggle to perfection – the paintings by Lo Chan Peng

Pan An-Yi, Director of Graduate Stdies, The department of the History of Art & Visual Studies, Cornell University

Historic Figures provide concrete clarification to A Brief History of Time and showcase the artist’s perspective and philosophical approaches to the history of humanity. The historical personae he has selected narrate the progress from “godliness” to the “Theory of Evolution” followed by “Anthropocentrism” and “Eurocentrism” before the expansion of Imperialism and Capitalism which then led to Colonialism and eventually the rise of “Socialism”. The “Nazism” of World War II in Europe and “Japanese Imperialism” caused the unprecedented disaster. Skrik from the Portraiture collection shows Lo’s concerns over the working class whom reiterated their mindless tasks in order to survive: “I think I now have a better understanding of this world and have realised how helpless I am in this vast universe.”

Lo tactfully chooses to paint former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American president Abraham Lincoln as a contrast and comparison. Churchill fought against the invasion of Nazism, even though he succeeded with the help of allies, the rise of Neo-Nazism and extreme right-wing supporters in recent years are slowly gaining advocates in Europe. The current president of the United States Donald Trump sees himself as a pioneer like Lincoln, yet his deep-rooted racism has encouraged the believers of extreme right-wing philosophy and white supremacy. Despite his defeat in the recent presidential election, the issues regarding extreme right-wing supporters in Europe and America would remain a challenging one. Both Churchill and Lincoln reflect on the bight and the good of humanity, and they are praised for their reminding us of the dark side of humanity.

Through Portraiture, Lo explores the struggles men encounter on their path to the godliness. The female sitter and plants stand for the friction between temptation and the sacred, which then lead to the nuanced relationship between “consciousness” and “the ability to define good and evil”, meaning the connection between the “mortal” and the “saintly” .

Historic Movers & Shakers, and the Doomed – Lo Chan Peng Solo Exhibition

I listen to the whispers of my paint when I work, I listen to them telling me how to brush and spread, and I listen to their advice on which direction to turn.

Yes, listen, because I believe every being in this world has a voice, and you just need to listen carefully. Even the sunshine and the wide are trying to tell you something.

The sceneries outside my studio speeds past me. This year has made a huge impact on humanity, but I have remained in front of the canvas as I try to find the meaning of art. Layers of paint have accumulated at the edge of my canvases, like layers of rocks in geology, piling up day after day and year after year.

I decided to name the solo exhibition “Historic Shakers & Movers, and the Doomed” as I present my “Children of Syria” and “Historic Figures” series together for the first time, for this year has been particularly peculiar and I would like to conclude with these works which are significant to me.

Painting in search of its true meaning is not a bad experience at all.

I sincerely invite you to join Professor Chen Kuang-Yi and I in conversation on the day of the opening reception where I will be happy to sign copies of my brand-new exhibition catalogue.

創作理念：
我們會受傷，但堅強的人們還是能夠重拾碎片再度「拼回來」，如同花蓮並不會因為一場大地震而被擊倒，因為挫折，我們反能更加堅強茁壯。

創作背景：
2018年2月6日大地震造成花蓮嚴重災情，有感於災後地方石材產業受損嚴重，由在地圖文創作者Duncan發起，結合精通石雕技藝的三位藝術家，希冀藉由各自所長，利用具在地文化價值之素材共同創作一象徵重振精神的公共藝術作品，籌備期間惠納地方人士捐贈與各級單位之支持，本作品才能完整呈現於大眾面前。作品以破損石材堆疊後進行雕刻創作，並選址於此，即前身為舊監獄遺跡的自由廣場。而平日於自強外役監獄教授石雕技藝的藝術家們，亦盼於本古蹟場域傳達“拼回自己的人生”之正面附加喻意。

Creative intent:
People get hurt, but the strong ones pick up the pieces and put them back together again. Similarly, Hualien will not be defeated by an earthquake, because setbacks make us stronger.

Creative background:
On February 6, 2018, Hualien was devastated by a massive earthquake. Seeing that Hualien’s stone industry suffered major loss, a local illustrator proposed building a public art display out of local materials. With the help of three master sculptors, donations from the public, and the support of the local government, the piece was finally completed and unveiled. Rocks broken in the earthquake were stacked and sculpted, and the sculpture was erected at Freedom Square on the grounds of Hualien’s former prison. The sculptors, who teach sculpting to inmates at Ziciang Minimum-Security Prison, also hope that erecting the sculpture at this historic site conveys the positive meaning of “putting one’s life back together.”
