曜畫廊長期經營原創版畫藝術，致力於從媒材角度發掘版畫創作的美好與精彩，將畢卡索、米羅、夏卡爾、塔瑪約、長谷川潔等藝術大師的原創版畫帶到台灣觀眾面前。於此同時，曜畫廊也積極將台灣優秀當代版創藝術家的發現與創作，帶入國際視野。2025年將從銅版畫發源地的德國開始，以楊忠銘「Beyond Ink」個展，成為首次參展德國20年以上歷史的重要現當代藝術展會「Art Karlsruhe 2025」的台灣藝廊。
楊忠銘從大學時期即醉心於版畫創作，20多年來始終在尋找一條「只有版畫能通過的道路」，企圖以身為一位站在「當代」的創作者，去回應這個古老媒材。無論是從自然、從傳統文化中汲取養分，與音樂影像文學的交融，抑或是與造紙術、金工、機械工藝的異業結合，楊忠銘以思想先行於媒材、以情感回應技術，賦予傳統版畫當代思維，成為曜畫廊提出「版創藝術」概念的最佳詮釋者。
此次將以其2023年與台灣林業試驗所合作創作出的「無華之境」展覽作品為主軸，將這一系列「不落墨」的台灣獨創當代版創作品，介紹給歐洲觀眾與藏家，讓世界看見，在版創藝術的領域裡，台灣不但沒有缺席，更努力走在領先的道路上。
Gallery de Sol has been dedicated to the promotion of original printmaking art for years, and focusing on exploring the beauty and brilliance of printmaking through the perspective of materials. The gallery has brought original prints of renowned artists such as Picasso, Miró, Chagall, Tamayo, and Kiyoshi Hasegawa to Taiwanese audiences. Meanwhile, Gallery de Sol has also been introducing the works of outstanding contemporary Taiwanese printmakers to the international stage. In 2025, the gallery began its international journey from Germany, the birthplace of intaglio printmaking, with YANG Chung-Ming’s solo exhibition “Beyond Ink.” This marks Gallery de Sol’s debut participation in Art Karlsruhe 2025, one of Germany’s most important contemporary art fairs with over 20 years of history, making it the first Taiwanese gallery to exhibit at this prestigious event.
Yang Chung-Ming has been passionate about printmaking since he was an undergrad student, and for over 20 years, he has been in search of a “path that only printmaking can traverse.” He aims to respond to this ancient medium as a “contemporary artist.” Whether drawing inspiration from nature, traditional culture, blending with music, film, and literature, or collaborating with other crafts such as papermaking, metalworking, and mechanical arts, Yang prioritizes thoughts over material and emotion over technique. He infuses traditional printmaking with contemporary concept, making him the best interpreter of the statement of “Print Creation Art” proposed by Gallery de Sol.
The exhibition “Beyond Ink” will center around Yang’s 2023 collaboration with the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, introducing this series “Flora of Formosa,” Taiwan’s unique contemporary printmaking works—ink-free works—to European audiences and collectors. This will showcase to the world that Taiwan not only participates in the field of printmaking art but is also making efforts as pioneer.
