Welcome to Fast and Slow Studio

In our workshops, we use the moving body as a medium to explore painting and creative art forms to help us reach a state of mind-body connection. We use somatic methods inspired by yoga, post-modern dance, and kinesthetic awareness to help us become more aware of our bodies as we are exploring artistic expressions that enter in dialogue with our body. The term Fast and Slow was originally inspired by a book called Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. The idea of fast and slow refers not only to the fast and slow movements of the body, but also in the way we feel the rhythm of life - fast and slow.

王譯薇 1987年出生於台灣彰化，成長於厄瓜多、墨西哥和祕魯。童年時期浸於以繪畫描繪佛教、中美洲及前哥倫布時期的神話故事，年幼時期即開始學習書法，對書法以單一筆畫即能傳達各種力度及個性的變化感到深深著迷。她在青少年時期透過祕魯劇場團體CUER2開始接觸肢體劇場，該團體讓她學會以即興、有機的肢體動作做為建構敘事的表達語言。這些早年的經驗形塑了王譯薇汲取東亞書法、塗鴉、石窟壁畫、姿態抽象（gestural abstraction）、即興舞蹈、芭蕾舞蹈等元素所生成的繪畫語彙。2019 年師事法國畫家 Philippe Cognée 。繪畫創作 Running Fast and Slow 於2021 年入選桃源國際藝術獎。畫作近期於桃園市立美術館，法國Galerie Loire 及 Le Dôme 表演劇場展出。2009 年於美國賓州大學工程學士畢業，2022 年於法國 TALM 高等藝術設計學院藝術系 (D.N.S.E.P.) 碩士學位畢業並獲評審祝賀。目前創作探索如何將芭蕾動作運用在書法性筆觸的扭轉力。

Born in Taiwan (1987, Changhua) and raised in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, WANG Yi-Wei spent a lot of her childhood drawing Buddhist, Mesoamerican and pre-Columbian mythologies. She learned Chinese calligraphy at an early age, fascinated by how variations in energy and personality can be transmitted through a single brushstroke. As a teenager, she discovered physical theater with the theater group CUER2 from Peru, introducing her to using improvisational organic body movements as a language to construct a narrative. These early experiences have helped shape a painting vocabulary inspired by East Asian calligraphy, graffiti, cave paintings, gestural abstraction, dance improvisation and ballet. In 2019 she studied painting with French painter Philippe Cognée while working in his studio. In 2021 her painting Running Fast and Slow was selected as a finalist of the Taoyuan International Art Award. Her work has recently been exhibited at Taoyuan Museum of Fine Art, Galerie Loire, and Théâtre Le Dôme in France. from the School of Art and Design TALM (2022) with congratulations from the jury. She is currently exploring how to use ballet movements to create a torsion force in the calligraphic brushstroke.

✨Our calligraphy workshop introduces you to the journey of the history of Traditional Chinese calligraphy scripts and the unique history of ink and brush that has developed in Taiwan since the Japanese colonial period.

✨We learned about the unique history and signature ink stick made by Da You Ink Studio and how to grind and mix ink from an ink stick.

✨We studied the unique collection ink brushes crafted by master Chen Yao-Wen, who has been making brushes for over 60 years.

✨We then introduced the basic techniques of holding a brush, preparing the brush, and the basic calligraphy brushstrokes. Finally, our very talented guests completed their first handwritten calligraphy panel ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷

✨ The Magic of Calligraphy ✨

A few months ago we welcomed to join our calligraphy workshop. We started the workshop by looking at an ancient script called seal script, one of the oldest forms of writing commonly found in bronze inscriptions.

During our warm up exercises where we warm up the brush through freestyle brushwork, the magic started to unfold. The brush started to write almost on its own, transforming characters that looked like seal script into more abstract pictural symbols. It’s like writing a story using a calligraphy script that only the heart understands 💚

We are sad to share the news that 陳嘉德 Chen Jia-De（b. 1942 Chiayi), our National Treasure Ink Stick Master and the founder of Da You Ink Studio has passed away on Oct. 3rd.

Through our numerous visits to Da You Ink Studio, the only handcraft ink stick studio in Taiwan, we have learned about his cultural legacy in preserving and perfecting the traditional handcraft of ink stick making. His lifelong commitment to the art of ink stick making has led him to invent the world-class signature fragrance of Da You Ink Sticks, a unique blend of borneol and musk, and upholding the highest standards of ink stick raw materials and craftsmanship, from the unique black pigment made of pine tree smoke to the 28 day drying process. Although the global recognition of the ink sticks has garnered invitations from around the world to share the art of ink sticks, he has always kept the savoir faire of handcraft ink sticks in Taiwan.

We are honored to learn about his lifelong work through his son, Chen Jun-Tian who keeps the art of ink stick making alive.

We send our deepest condolences to Mr. Chen’s family as we honor his legacy of ink stick making.

RIP

第49屆金鼎獎頒獎典禮
中法口譯 🇹🇼🇫🇷

49th Golden Tripod Award Ceremony
French Interpretation

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Promoting cultural exchange through languages
🇹🇼🇫🇷

The Golden Tripod Award is the highest honor in Taiwan’s publishing industry, showcasing the magnificent literary, non-literary, digital publications, magazine publishing, and government publication works in Taiwan. The works awarded showcase an incredible diversity of Taiwanese cultural fabric, from an encyclopedia of Taiwanese tiles to an illustration book about the life and art of Taiwanese artist HUANG Tu-Shui 黃土水（1895-1930） to Taiwan Mountain Magazine.

We were incredibly touched by this year’s Distinguished Contribution Award Winner, 95 year old ZHENG Ming-Jing 鄭明進老師, who has dedicated his entire life to the promotion of children’s art and literature since the Japanese colonial period. We had the greatest honor to interpret his speech to French, where he shared his passion for children’s art with us.

Today we were discussing about calligraphy as a meditative practice and somatic dance movements as a wellness practice to connect the body and mind.

Imagine the multiplying power to the body and mind when you combine calligraphy and dance. We talked about the potential that this practice can have on the neurosomatic wellbeing of the body.

As an experimental creative space, we are always looking for new ways to expand the boundaries between movement, painting and somatics. We would like to include sound therapy into our next sessions and look forward to having participants feedback on its effects on the body and mind 😊🦋

Thanks to and .international for the wonderful photo and discussions on this topic 💚

🖼️Framing the calligraphy

Our client’s calligraphy is mounted through a dry mounting process « 乾裱 » before framing. The mounted paper needs to be transferred to the wall surface through a technique called « 上牆 » or wall transfer.
