邱梁城 (b.1962~)
1962年出生於臺灣嘉義。2011-2012，曾以交換研究生身分赴日本沖繩縣立藝術大學專攻雕塑。2015，國立臺北藝術大學美術創作研究所畢業。
近年來以陶塑創作而備受矚目的邱梁城，在投入純藝術創作前，是藝術領域知名的美術設計工作者。早期他的創作透過繪畫描繪記錄城市生活的經驗與感知，主要關注於人與土地的疏離關係，幾經嘗試，最後選擇陶土作為創作的媒材，其質樸可塑的特質，呼應著邱梁城的創作需求。透過陶土，可用直接以雙手形塑不具備特定指涉的造型，可能來自於另一個時空，或像是建築結構的片段或場域及超越形象的語言。
從2011-12《非器》、2014《築地》、2016《他方》、2017《浮光微塵》到《賦光》、2021《如光漫漫》等系列，討論關於印記、空間組構與光影，試圖讓時間性的感受進入作品。從白天到黑夜，黑夜到天明，山巒下的工作室裡，邱梁城靜默的在陶土上刻劃著，揉捏著陶土，觀察著緩緩滲透著火焰高溫窯燒時，釉料澆淋出的時光刻痕。
Chiow Liang-Cherng (1962~ )
Chiow Liang-Cherng was born in Chiayi, Taiwan in 1962. In 2011-12 he attended Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts in Japan as an exchange student, specializing in sculpture. He subsequently completed a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Taipei National University of the Arts in 2015.
Attracting particular notice for his ceramic sculpture work in recent years, prior to pursuing pure artistic creation Chiow was renowned in the art field as a fine art designer. Early in his career he used painting to depict and record the experiences and sensations of urban life, focusing on the alienation between humans and the earth. After some exploration, he ultimately selected clay as his preferred creative medium, its simple and malleable qualities echoing his creative demands. Clay enables Chiow to use his hands to directly form shapes with no particular references – perhaps coming from another time and space, or transcending the language of imagery, like fragments or spaces of architectural structures.
From Beyond the Vessels (2011-12), to Mindscape (2014), In the Other Place (2016), Dust in the Light (2017), to Dim Light, and 2021’s Boundless Time, the artist discusses marks and impressions, spatial arrangements, and shadow and light in the attempt to introduce the feeling of time into his works. From daytime to nighttime, deep night to daybreak, Chiow silently etches away at the clay in his studio at the foot of the mountains, kneading and pressing the clay, and observing as the heat of the kiln brings out traces of time in the glaze.
