◆ 桑拿大可 Sangna Take / FB: 桑拿大可 Sangna Take / IG: sang___na

本名孫大可，英文翻譯SUN, Ta ke。我將Sun翻成「桑」，Take 翻成「拿」，再加上名字「大可」就是「桑拿大可」了。「桑拿」有三溫暖的意思。我希望在這繁雜的現今社會，讓充滿壓力的人們可以欣賞到舒服、放鬆的作品，讓這世界還有那麼一點喘息之處。同時，在創作中會加點情慾的元素，讓「桑拿」這個詞增添另一層想像空間。主要以繪畫人物為主，藉由眼神、穿搭、肢體結合服裝造型，用「桑拿 Sangna」的風格表現繪畫。大部分的作品以電繪、水彩和壓克力顏料呈現，以大膽隨興的筆觸，乾淨利落的構圖，點出整幅畫的細節，彷彿在作品上做了場時尚秀。

My pseudonym “Sangna Take” comes from the recombination of my full name SUN, Ta-Ke. I translate Sun to “Sang”, and Ta-Ke to “Take.” “Sangna” means sauna in Mandarin. Due to the complexity society nowadays, people live under lots of pressure. The situation in modern centuries inspires me to create the artworks which can make people feel comfortable, relaxed and stress-free, giving them a short break when watching my artworks even if there is just one minute. On the other hand, I add some erotic elements in my artworks to create another aspect of imagination for people. Focus on figure painting, and combine with modeling through people’s styling, body movements and the emotion showing in their eyes to create my artwork. Most of the mediums of my artworks are digital painting, watercolor and acrylic with bold stroke and neat composition pointing out the details, as if making a fashion show on my artworks.

◆ 倒插人 Invertedman / FB: 陳楷仁 / IG: inverted_man

《我們都在表皮層掙扎》是以表皮層作為舞台，畫面中的主體是一塊被切割、的帶皮的肉塊，所謂「人為刀俎，我為魚肉」生活在表皮層上的人物都是來自於現實生活的取樣：來自真實的生活片段，來自是由內心感受，來自日常用語的轉譯，將繪畫以語言式的影像製造或再現，以自嘲、幽默的口吻來表達對社會的體悟及觀察。倒插在小人物生活在表皮層之上看似自由，其實是被擺佈操控的，就像皮膚上的汗毛，被皮層之下的組織、腺體等結構所支配，而卻無法察覺到它是如何運行的，如同我們所生活的世界，平凡度日之中卻隱約感受到被某股神秘力量桎梏著。

“Struggling on the Epidermis” is an artwork describing those commoners who are just like the meat on the chopping block, seems to have their own freedom to do anything, but still they are under control of this society.  This piece of work applies the epidermis as a stage, the main part of the painting is a piece of flesh with skin on it.  The people living on the epidermis are all the samples from real life, which are the clips from real life, the feelings of heart, and the interpretation of daily language.  Create or replicate paintings as language-like images, and express the understanding and observation of society with a self-deprecating and humorous tone.  The commoners living on the epidermis seem to be free.  However, they are actually manipulated by the structure of the tissue and glands under the skin layer without perceiving how it works, as the hair of the skin.  Just like the world we live in, during the ordinary days, we feel faintly bound by a certain mysterious force.

MASKBOY系列開始於2014年末。MASKBOY並不是一個特定的人物，對我來說，”他“可以是任何生命體，可以是你可以是我，所以”他“的個性是隨著面具背後的生命而變化豐富的。
MASKBOY系列經過了7年來地持續進行，我希望把MASKBOY的世界觀拓展開來，藉此發展出“MASK FAM”系列。MASKBOY則是在MASK FAM裡的一員。讓整個系列更聚焦在面具後的載體變化，就像一個面具家族那樣，裡面有更多樣的成員，也可以有更多的創作樣貌呈現。
這次整體主題圍繞著“IS EVERYTHING OK? Hua Hua”的漫畫封面畫作作品，畫面故事說的是MASKBOY與Hua Hua的第一次相遇。接著以“MASK BIG BOY” 與“Hua Hua IN HAND”兩件大型充氣立體作品，把角色立體化帶入真實的世界裡，也延伸故事的後續想像．另外，這次也帶來了“Hua Hua”的立體公仔作品(限量100個)，除了讓大家可以收藏外，也期望大家可以把故事帶回家，各自發展。

MASKBOY series started at the end of 2014. Maskboy is not a specific character. MASKBOY can be any living being to me, can be you or me. So the personality of MASKBOY changes and enriches with the life behind the mask.
MASKBOY series has been continuously carried out for 7 years. I hope to expand the MASKBOY worldview and develop the “MASK FAM” series. MASKBOY is a member of MASK FAM. Let the entire series focus more on the carrier changes behind the mask, just like a mask family, there are more diverse members, and more creative appearances can be presented.
The overall theme this time is around the comic cover artwork “IS EVERYTHING OK? Hua Hua”. The story tells about the first encounter between MASKBOY and Hua Hua. Then with two large inflatable three-dimensional works “MASK BIG BOY” and “Hua Hua IN HAND”, the three-dimensional characters are brought into the real world, and the subsequent imagination of the story is also extended. I also brought a three-dimensional figure of “Hua Hua” (edition of 100), in addition to allowing everyone to collect, but also hope that everyone can take the story home and develop their own.
