Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid: One and One 淡淡 Thes

Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid: One and One 淡淡

These works were inspired by the artist’s 2025 artist residency in Kyushu, Japan. Known for its hot springs, ancient forests, and sea breezes, Kyushu offered the artist a setting of serene natural beauty and slow living, which he captured thoughtfully in his paintings. Though loneliness is a recurring theme for him at this stage, his works carry a quiet warmth and human tenderness. The layered natural environments serve as expansive, breathing backgrounds that grant his figures the freedom to wander and explore hidden mysteries. Using predominantly warm tones, he paints scenes reminiscent of wistful autumn landscapes, yet these settings beautifully illuminate the pure, innocent spirit of childhood. In his paintings, solitary souls dance gently with heaven and earth — neither fervent nor desolate, but quietly radiant in their own way.

這些作品的靈感得自於藝術家2025年在日本九州駐村期間的經驗。九州是知名的溫泉鄉，有原始森林、溫潤的海風，他也透過繪畫記錄了此地的景緻和慢生活氛圍。即使孤獨是現階段的他想不斷訴說的主題，其作品的氣氛卻有一些暖意，甚至充滿人的溫度。因為他筆下的自然環境是一個很有層次的背景，提供了人物徜徉的自由，也提供人物探索神秘的機會；再者，其用色以暖色調為主，畫出似蒼涼的秋色卻也襯托出孩童的赤子之心。他畫了有溫度的心靈，在天地相伴下獨舞，不熾熱但也不冷清，就這樣淡淡的。

Installation view of Nicolas Mehdi Pour Vahid solo exhibition on view till July 4.

Of the 13 works in this exhibition, nine were inspired by the artist’s 2025 artist residency in Kyushu, Japan. Known for its hot springs, ancient forests, and sea breezes, Kyushu offered the artist a setting of serene natural beauty and slow living, which he captured thoughtfully in his paintings. Though loneliness is a recurring theme for him at this stage, his works carry a quiet warmth and human tenderness. The layered natural environments serve as expansive, breathing backgrounds that grant his figures the freedom to wander and explore hidden mysteries. Using predominantly warm tones, he paints scenes reminiscent of wistful autumn landscapes, yet these settings beautifully illuminate the pure, innocent spirit of childhood. In his paintings, solitary souls dance gently with heaven and earth — neither fervent nor desolate, but quietly radiant in their own way.

此次展出的13作品中，有9件的靈感得自於藝術家2025年在日本九州駐村期間的經驗。九州是知名的溫泉鄉，有原始森林、溫潤的海風，他也透過繪畫記錄了此地的景緻和慢生活氛圍。即使孤獨是現階段的他想不斷訴說的主題，其作品的氣氛卻有一些暖意，甚至充滿人的溫度。因為他筆下的自然環境是一個很有層次的背景，提供了人物徜徉的自由，也提供人物探索神秘的機會；再者，其用色以暖色調為主，畫出似蒼涼的秋色卻也襯托出孩童的赤子之心。他畫了有溫度的心靈，在天地相伴下獨舞，不熾熱但也不冷清，就這樣淡淡的。

Artemin Gallery is delighted to announce our repre

Artemin Gallery is delighted to announce our representation of Yuri Zupancic.

Yuri Zupancic (b. 1980) is an American artist based in Paris. He is best known for miniature paintings made directly on microchips—works that crystallize the ambitions and paradoxes of contemporary technological progress. Approaching technology as a site of inquiry rather than critique, Zupancic treats the microchip as both material and metaphor.

Working at a scale that defies ordinary perception, often painting with a single eyelash, his practice resists the maximalist aesthetics of consumer culture while echoing the relentless miniaturization of our most powerful devices. Driven by a fascination with the esoteric elegance of circuitry—forms typically hidden from view—he paints on the very components that transmit and store private data, emotions, and memories, giving visual form to a felt digital presence.
Blending classical painting techniques with digital processes, his works inhabit a liminal space between the tactile and the virtual. His work has been featured in WIRED, Juxtapoz, and the New York Times, and exhibited internationally from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to galleries in Paris, London, and Tokyo.

We are proud to have presented Yuri Zupancic at Pavilion Taipei Art Fair, Grand Courtyard, Taipei (January 2026) and Art OnO Seoul (April 2026).

Artemin Gallery 榮幸宣布代理美國藝術家 Yuri Zupancic。

Yuri Zupancic（1980 年生於美國）現居法國巴黎，以直接在微晶片上繪製的微型繪畫著稱。這些作品凝縮了當代科技進步的野心與矛盾——他以探問而非批判的姿態面對技術，將微晶片既作為媒材，也作為隱喻。
Zupancic 在極小的尺度上作畫，有時以單根睫毛為筆，以此對抗消費文化的極大化美學，同時呼應著我們最強大裝置不斷微型化的現實。他著迷於電路板隱秘的形式之美——那些通常被遮蔽於視線之外的結構——在承載私密資料、情感與記憶的晶片上作畫，賦予數位存在一種可感知的視覺形式。作品曾獲 WIRED、Juxtapoz、《紐約時報》等媒體報導，並曾於舊金山、巴黎、倫敦、東京等地展出。

2026 年，Artemin Gallery 先後於 Pavilion Taipei （Grand Courtyard，台北，1 月）及 Art OnO Seoul（首爾，4 月）呈現其作品，正式展開雙方的合作。
