Hans Kotter
(Germany, b. 1966)

出生於德國巴伐利亞邦,就讀紐約藝術學院(Art Students League of New York) 畢業於慕尼黑媒體設計學院。現創作居住於柏林。2004年被授予「德國巴伐利亞文化獎」Bavarian Culture Award, E-ON藝術建築領域獎項。Kotter以燈光雕塑裝置創作為人所知。曾任德國斯圖加特國家藝術與設計學院講師,2014年獲得德國國際Unna燈光藝術中心的國際燈光獎項提名。德國著名藝術史學家Kai-Uwe Hemken 評論Hans Kotter 漢斯·卡特 作品:「Kotter 卡特 為觀者提供了作品的維度,是批判性、自我反省、與洞察導向,同時重新呈現了現代主義的基本烏托邦。」德國知名策展人暨藝術評論家Peter Lodermeyer則形容Hans Kotter 漢斯·卡特作品「充滿光的形式與鏡面平滑的作品,總是閃閃發光地乾淨與純粹」。Hans Kotter 漢斯·卡特目前持續在各國博物館展出,包括德國里特博物館、英國倫敦Kinetica博物館、德國科隆應用藝術博物館、德國科隆MAKK博物館..等。作品由義大利TARGETTI光之藝術典藏、德國立陶宛博物館、德國聯邦議會等眾多機構永久收藏。

Hans Kotter 於2020年3.11-4.26 於德國科隆應用藝術博物館(MAKK- MUSEUM OF APPLIED ARTS COLOGNE)展出個展 “Light- Colour- Space“

Hans Kotter 參與2018年突尼斯國際燈光藝術節 Interference

Hans Kotter 2013年於 維也納Kubus Export 展出

Tunnel View “Down Under”, Plexiglas, Metal, Mirror, LED Light with Colour Changes, 2011 (Museum Ritter收藏)

從小受到未來派畫家Umberto Boccioni以及 Op Art 歐普藝術Victor Vasarely吸引,藝術家 Hans Kotter 漢斯·卡特,一路的創作脈絡是複雜多元的。他不斷嘗試各種可能,從具象的繪畫到攝影、從觀念藝術到裝置藝術,反映出些許現代藝術流派的身影,像是歐普藝術(Op Art)的幻視,利用光學特性營造奇異的視覺效果,用特殊的線條、色彩排列組合造成視覺錯覺,或是低限主義(Minimalism)強調從材料的物性出發,呈現物件的真實樣貌,而非表現文化屬性,開放作品自身在概念上的限制,讓觀眾自主參與對作品的建構。 Hans Kotter漢斯·卡特認為公共藝術扮演著重要任務,是讓空間成為藝術過程的重要元素,他樂於邀請觀眾參與其中,期待讓觀眾在過程中感受到快樂。

Hans Kotter 2008年於倫敦地鐵站 London Bridge Station 舉辦 Kinetica Museum, London開幕特展

Hans Kotter 漢斯·卡特作品中的生命力,來自於自身與材料之間的對話與互動,他曾提及自己的藝術創作之路是從「繪畫」開始,經過「攝影」才進展到當下的「光之雕塑」。創作靈感來自於真實的生活,使用油、水、壓克力、LED、有機玻璃、不鏽鋼、霓虹燈等材料創作,因為這些物質對於光的反應,都不盡相同。觀者可以從其過去多種形式的作品,來理解藝術家創作脈絡的蛻變: Still Lifes (1999)- 對應17世紀荷蘭靜物畫之繪畫性,以諷刺方式打破過去靜物之象徵意涵 。Landscape in Plastic (2000)- 藉由光線與空間的框架界定,交錯陳列童年記憶之物。Balance (2008)- 空間中的單一霓虹線條,營造靜謐氛圍。Big Bang (2014)- 將光物化,抓住宇宙自然起源的瞬間,也接取現實殞落的燎原星火。而知名作品 Point of View (2017)- 吸引觀眾進入空間錯覺萬花筒,迷失與尋找自我。透過「光」帶來幻象與衝突感。Kotter 卡特利用光線的對比與錯動,產生閃爍、流動、旋轉、放射運動,充分展現藝術創作技術的精準度,而精心設計的光線及動態,更引導人們進入目眩神迷的精神之旅,挑戰觀者自由想像、體驗雋永的光之奇觀。
