「世上很多事物不是非黑即白,因此有了灰。」-COLASA
在藝術家COLASA 的世界觀裡,「世界」是如此地具體,卻又充滿模糊地帶。從社會的分層結構、各式產業的異中存同、社會賦予的價值觀,到「藝術圈」之「圈內」與「圈外」,都 有既定的「規則」與「印象」。打破這樣既定印象的藩籬,創造一種中立、隱晦而曖昧的感覺,正是藝術家希望帶來新的感受的「灰」。
其作品中散發一種冷冽與激情,狂野與精緻,像是下雨可以傾盆,但所組成的雨絲卻是細密並能帶清爽與洗淨。作品色彩透過闇黑與純白,層層堆疊出斑駁而不拘的抑鬱氛圍在撲朔迷離中卻又那樣深刻地存在著。

The most things in the world are not straight black or straight white, hence the gray area comes. In artist COLASA's point of view, world is a concrete tangible place with a lot of gray areas. From the social structure in this world, the social values defined and given by this world, the homogeneity and the heterogeneity in different industries, to the "outsiders" and "insiders" agreed silently in art arena, the de facto conventions exist everywhere.
To break these stereotypical rules and conventions, the artist outlines the idea of a gray area that is novel, neutral and carries a sophisticated ambiguity. In this gray area, people are free to rethink and re-feel.
The artwork of the show "In that raining GRAY" exude coldness and passion, wildness and sophistication. By skillfully smearing and daubing the pretty and complete objects on canvases and wood boards, artists presents a sense of being transient, yet there's a undertone lingers, which sets a gray area where imagination and thinkings flow,
COLASA uses the metaphor of "rain" to symbolize his idea: "It's like we all need a pouring rain to clean up our minds and views. Afterwards, the rain goes, but new thoughts stay."
