---

<從3度到360度>
日本國寶雕塑大師―舟越桂，首度在台灣同時展出雕塑與素描作品，不僅在美術館前所未見，更是私人空間的重量級展演經歷。以國寶大師領軍的雕塑藝術家們，﨑跨70-90年代的日本雕塑史切面，以超群技法、觀念體現、自我表白，突破傳統等精神將三維空間的造型結合當代語彙，讓觀者從時間的軸上看跨越三個世代的雕塑家們對話，同時更親身參與多元材質的美感經驗，是日本當代雕塑的歷史性相聚，透過作品展現三代同堂的雕塑發展盛況，更是台灣藝壇的第一次。
70到80的原創與轉變
將日本傳統雕塑技法結合西方現代雕塑精神–舟越桂（Katsura FUNAKOSHI）從寫實入作品，他對半身人體的琢磨，跳脫70年代傳統日本寫實具像框架，以大理石材製作的眼睛，配合任由意志發揮的人物造形，靜懿與靈性的情感豐富該年代的日本雕塑，其原創精神更揭開日本雕塑的另一頁。
轉變期的80年代，各式思想在日本藝壇激蕩，袴田京太郎 (Kyotaro HAKAMATA)與笹口数(Kazz SASAGUCHI)或多或少受到物派思想的影響，大步開拓現成物雕塑與動態雕塑的境界；後期的北川宏人(Hiroto KITAGAWA)與須田匤弘 (Yoshihiro SUDA)進一步發掘作品內在感受面與觀眾的共感，不論是北川宏人討論的當下日本人的時代不安感，或須田匤弘禪味的追尋”看不見”的境界，都揭諸了此時代的轉變與多樣貌。
哲學旅程的90—
隨著時代和觀念的變化，日本當代雕塑邁向複合維度的時空與心態深探，土屋仁応 (Yoshimasa TSUCHIYA)，三宅一樹 (Ikki MIYAKE)從木雕上對哲學的生死、宇宙、人生觀的體現，青木克世 (Katsuyo AOKI)延伸裝飾性雕塑的無限可能，耽美的精緻白磁骷髏，結晶日本雕塑獨特性。
有人稱雕塑是“凝固的舞蹈和詩句，這次的展覽也趣藝廊匯集近代重要的雕塑家，邀您來體驗時代、思想、感情、審美觀念的結晶，跨時代地發掘在不同的雕塑觀念、風格、流派、手法的背後所蘊含的豐富文化意涵與領悟。
