Fiona Ackerman
Canada, b. 1978)

費歐娜 . 艾克曼 Fiona Ackerman(加拿大,1978年生)畢業於著名藝術學校艾蜜莉卡藝術與設計學院(Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design),並多次於加拿大與歐洲等地展出。曾於2009年獲加拿大The Kingston Prize當代肖像畫榮譽獎,更在2015年入圍加拿大國家畫廊(National Gallery of Canada)年度當代藝術大獎Sobey Art Award。2017年受邀參與溫哥華美術館(Vancouver Art Gallery)與Burrard Arts Foundation舉辦之Façade Festival,首度展出委任大型投影作品。作品收藏於加拿大理察·艾菲商學院(Richard Ivey School of Business)、蒙特婁銀行(Bank of Montreal)與德國農民銀行(Bankhaus Bauer)等。 異托邦是法國學者米榭‧傅柯所提出的社會空間論述,藉由此種觀念來批判、重構我們的生活空間,排除其任何原始用意與價值,進而重新定義空間的屬性。

費歐娜・艾克曼將繪畫植於抽象表現手法,以色彩與物件的組合反轉眼前的世界。2012年艾克曼展開題為《Studio》的系列創作,使自身的創作空間與過往作品置於畫布上,進行重新編排、描摹,每道筆觸不僅抹除原作的敘事,更賦予畫面新的意義表述。此系列進行的同時,艾克曼深受法國哲學家米榭・傅柯(Michel Foucault)異托邦(Heterotopia)理論的影響,試圖由繪畫解放現實世界的多樣表現型態,而此一理念也貫徹於後續的作品,如透過鏡像反射而繪出的花草圖像,詮釋看似自然卻是經人為刻意安排的《Glasslands》系列,以及近期純然運用線條、色塊與拼貼組合的創作,將想像的視野拋入無窮遠處。對艾克曼而言,抽象繪畫往往無法預期最後的發展,思維步步領著畫面延伸,調和出的色調與物件比例也伴著觀者進入心向反射出的異托邦。
